Carver Boat Corporation has 6 USCG recalls spanning 1995 to 2007, affecting 1,648 units across multiple model lines. The most serious campaigns involved carbon monoxide intrusion risks (Trojan 370/390 and 350 Mariner models, 256 units combined) and structural concerns including muffler bonding failures and hull deck joint seal issues.

What to check before you buy a used Carver Boat
- Cross reference your HIN with all 6 Carver recall campaigns (070042T, 000160T, 060049S, 970044T, 950337T, 970124T) to identify applicable campaigns.
- Request proof of remedy completion from the seller, especially for the two carbon monoxide campaigns affecting 350 Mariner and Trojan 370/390 models.
- Hire a marine surveyor to inspect exhaust systems, hull deck joints, and electrical circuits on any Carver built between 1995 and 2007.
- Test carbon monoxide detectors and verify proper ventilation if buying a 350 Mariner or Trojan 370/390, given the documented CO intrusion history.
