FOR SALE


1988 CARVER "Santego"

SORRY....... SHE WAS SOLD ON 9/23/00

Please scroll down. This is a large page.

I am extremely proud to offer this incredible, all purpose, high performance cruiser FOR SALE.. $31,500 US.

This vessel has mid time engines! The useage averages just over 4.4 hours of conservative use per week. I have been operating her at 10 to 13 KTS with RPM's in the 2600 range. Engines are extremely strong. Compression and oil pressures are high indicating low wear. It is equipped with twin (gasoline)Mercruiser 3.7LX 4 cylinder(180 HP ea.) powerplants which provide excellent all round performance & great economy. These powerplants are easily achieving 1400 hours before overhaul (see "yachtingmag.com"). With twin outdrives, the maneuverability is incredible. One tank fill should provide 2 round trips from Long Beach (Calif)to Catalina.

Licensed as a 27 footer, actual "slip" length, entire lenght is 31.5 ft, with a 10 foot beam. The interior is by far the largest of ANY vessel this size. An airy and cavernous walk around interior with over 6' 5" headroom.

The vessel is USCG documented. Operated by a USCG (Six Pack)licensed Captain. New bottom & outdrive paint in August 99. Bottom maintained by pro divers. Engines & outdrives maintained by prof. mechanic.

If you've been thinking of moving up to a small Yacht category, or just tired of 20-26 foot size boats with tiny aisles and cramped quarters, you MUST see this vessel! The interior rivals the size of most 35-40 footers. It is trailereable (no trailer available).
