Review of Carver 25

Both the hull and the deck is made of fibreglass. Generally, a hull made of fibreglass requires only a minimum of maintenance during the sailing season. And outside the sailing season, just bottom cleaning and perhaps anti-fouling painting once a year - a few hours of work, that's all.

The interior is like few other boats made in fibreglass.
The boat is equipped with 2 cabins, 4-5 berths, a galley, 95.0 liter fresh water capacity and toilet facility.

Unknown keel type

The boat can enter even shallow marinas as the draft is just about 1.00 - 1.10 meter (3.28 - 3.58 ft) dependent on the load. See immersion rate below.

Carver 25 is typically equipped with a Volvo Penta DP engine at 271 hp (201 kW). The speed is 39.0 knots..

The transmission is a Z-drive.

The fuel tank, which is made of stainless steel, has a capacity of 370.0 liters (97 US gallons, 81 imperial gallons).

The immersion rate is defined as the weight required to sink the boat a certain level. The immersion rate for Carver 25 is about 173 kg/cm, alternatively 973 lbs/inch.
Meaning: if you load 173 kg cargo on the boat then it will sink 1 cm. Alternatively, if you load 973 lbs cargo on the boat it will sink 1 inch.

What is L/B (Length Beam Ratio)?

The l/b ratio for Carver 25 is 2.90.
