1974 25ft Carver W/Flying Bridge!

[Isaacm1986]

I bought this boat last summer, it needs a new outdrive, and head gaskets replaced on the engine. it has a 305 in it but i think i am going to throw a 350 in it for a little more power. I just wanted to show you all the boat, when it is done it will be really nice, and I only spent $500 on it boat and trailer last year. Can't beat that price!

Does anyone know what these are worth restored?

I don't know what it will be worth, but I do know I like it. I say go for it because when you're all done, you're going to have one of the better looking boats out there.

Congrats! Sounds like a fun project. Looks very similar to the Grady White Catalina my parents had when I was a kid.

I know it has been a year since I posted pics of this boat.

Last summer we did do the 350 swap, rebuilt the outdrive, sanded and restained all the wood, repainted all the green, and she is running great! By buddy and I owned it together, and he bought me out. He has it still, and we used it all last year for fishing in the bay. Next time I see it I will get some updated pictures and post them up.
