This 1984 Carver 28 Riviera is a fiberglass cruiser powered by twin Volvo diesel engines producing 320 horsepower. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 25 knots and cruises comfortably at 15 knots. At 28 feet in length with an 11-foot beam, it offers a practical platform for extended cruising.
The interior includes four cabins and one head, with a galley equipped with a microwave, three-burner electric stovetop, and AC/DC refrigerator. Accommodations feature a vacuflush head, electric water heater, and macerator pump. The boat carries two Group 27 batteries with a battery charger and an 800-watt inverter for onboard power management.
Navigation and electronics are well-specified, with a Garmin Radar HD 2 Color display, 731 Garmin chartplotter, bottom-scan transducer, ICOM and portable VHF radios, GPS antenna, and Sirius radio. The helm is protected by a full canvas enclosure, and the boat features a complete walk-around deck, screened windows, and canvas exterior window coverings.
Recent mechanical service includes cooling system maintenance in 2023 and fiberglass exhaust replacement in 2016. The transmissions were rebuilt in 2006; fuel injectors, glow plugs, and timing were serviced in 2010. The hull received a haul-out with bottom paint in August 2020. The boat includes trim tabs, underwater exhaust, three bilge pumps, ground tackle with 40 feet of chain and a 22-pound Danforth anchor, and complete docking lines and fenders.
