I own an '01 Caravelle 176 And it began falling apart the seccond
summer out on the lake. The trim and lettering is falling off. Already
had to replace teh starter relay and teh starter. The trailer-trim
switch doesn't work. The fuse panel is so cheap that several of the
fuses tend to fall out on thier own. Inconsistent idle, I think the
choke is having issues.

We have give the boat the name of Crapavelle. I have never had luck
obtaining service or even information from Caravelle dealers or
Caravelle itself. I'm sure I will continue to see many more issues as
time goes by.

As I'm sure you already figured out, i would never ever reccomend
anyone buy a Caravellle.

Looking at a new Boat. New Caravelle 232 interceptor bow rider (350 mag)
I've owned Reinell, glastron and currently Celebrity. Any opinions? Lake use
only.

Lucky stiff!

Nice boat. I have seen them at boat shows over the years. New boats
are wood-free and thats important. I think they are redesigning the
232 for 2004.
