Yes I have one. I purchased a used 1986 Carver Santa Cruz last year.
260 Merc I/O. Quality of workmanship of Carver boats much better than similar units (Fiberform/Bayliner). I run to the East Bay from dockage in Suisun, CA. Runs best @ about 3100 to 3500 RPM. Takes medium chop well, but you my find front end nose dives in slow running through moderate waves. Docking with single I/O is a learning experience & I am still learning. Comfortable boat for families. Head & bath are excellent in size, berth comfortable for two up front, dinette converts & would sleep pre-teen comfortably.
Hatch entrance seems to be a weak point. On my boat and another I viewed, the hatch entrance on flybridge has been replaced with aftermarket wood covering. Think originally they must have been fiberglass, but get damaged due to persons walking on cover.
