FOR SALE: 2004 Carver 59' Marquis
The Carver name has existed and became synonymous with boating many years ago. In fact, the yard dates back to around 1954 when the founders Charles "Charlie" Carter and George Verhagen were building mahogany runabouts in Wisconsin. If you join the founders' last names you will see where the Carver name came from (CARter and VERhagen). Their initial business was sold back in 1963 being known as the Carver Boat Corporation. The new owners were instrumental in moving boat building towards fiberglass construction and this segway over time moved the company from being a regional builder to one with international presence and sales. Fast-forward to 2004 and this is when Carver launched the Marquis line which consisted of 59-foot and 65-foot Motor Yachts...
