The 1997 Carver 355 Aft Cabin is a 35-foot sedan bridge motor yacht built on a modified-V fiberglass hull with balsa-cored decks. Twin 660-horsepower Crusader gasoline engines drive the boat to a cruising speed of 18 knots, with a maximum speed of 26 knots. The design prioritizes interior volume and livable space, making it well-suited for extended cruising or full-time use.
The accommodations feature two staterooms and two heads. The master cabin aft includes a walk-around island queen bed, abundant storage, and an ensuite head with separate shower. The forward stateroom offers a V-berth with secondary bunk space and its own day head. The open-concept salon spans the boat with panoramic windows and houses a convertible dinette and large sofa. The galley is arranged on a lower level and includes a three-burner cooktop, oven, sink, and storage. An aft deck with covered space leads to a flybridge helm with 360-degree sightlines and passenger seating.
The modified-V hull provides stability and a soft ride in variable conditions. Twin inboard engines allow straightforward maneuvering and docking in this size range. The deck construction combines solid fiberglass below with balsa-core overhead, typical of the build quality for this model year and class.
