This 1996 Carver 400 Cockpit Motor Yacht is a 40-foot fiberglass cruiser powered by twin Crusader 454-XL fuel-injected gasoline engines rated at 340 hp each. The boat cruises at 19 knots and features trim tabs for enhanced handling. With only 912 original hours on the engines, it has spent its entire life in freshwater on the Great Lakes.
The interior layout includes two full heads with electric flush toilets, vanities, sinks, and stall showers, plus a well-appointed galley and dinette. Both staterooms have double berths, and the master suite opens to the cockpit via a sliding glass door. The pilothouse flybridge seats six around the helm, while spiral cockpit stairs provide access to the aft deck. Air conditioning and heating are installed throughout.
The yacht carries an extensive electronics suite including VHF radio, depth sounder, Garmin and Raymarine GPS chartplotters with color touchscreens. Aft deck amenities include a wet bar with sink and ice maker. The boat features a factory fiberglass hardtop with acrylic wing doors and an enclosed flybridge. An aft cockpit with extended swim platform, Sea-Dek covering, and four LED underwater lights complete the exterior. The bottom paint is new for 2026.
This boat shows above-average condition throughout, with all original owner's manuals and sales literature included. It has been kept in heated indoor winter storage.
