We just bought an '81 Carver 3007 Aft Cabin to begin our crusing
adventures in Puget Sound. (We've become a little bored with the
Columbia River).

Anyway....we looked at all 30 footers with a flybridge and fell in
love with the layout of this Carver.

What if, in 5 years, we have the means to buy a more modern 30 footer
but decide that none compare to our 30 year old boat. Could we put
40k into our Carver, repower it (perhaps with diesels), replumb,
rewire, repaint and come out ahead vs. sinking 150k into a nearly new
modern boat.

I read with interest Chuck's decision to refit. Is it the best
solution for a classic boat which isn't made anymore? We have yet to
see a modern boat that uses space as well as this Carver model.
