🔍 Design & Layout •Power cruiser with a mid-cabin layout, offering space for sleeping and living while staying compact at ~27 ft hull (around 30 ft with platform)  . •Both forward V‑berth and private aft cabin, plus a convertible dinette, can sleep 4–6 people . •Compact galley: sink, fridge, dual‑fuel stove, microwave . •Stand‑up head with shower located amidships (). ⸻ ⚙️ Hull & Mechanics •Solid fiberglass hull, beam around 9’6”–10’, draft ~3 ft . •Typically twin inboard/outboard engines: •Many models came with twin MerCruiser 3.7 L I4 (around 180 hp each)  . •Some later or upgraded boats feature twin 4.3 L Mercs . •Cruising speed around 20–28 kts, top end ~32–40 mph (). •Fuel capacity roughly 100–120 gal, fresh water ~40 gal . ⸻ 🛠️ Common Practical Notes •Owners note engineered systems like freshwater lines and faucets can develop quirks over time—e.g., a solenoid leak letting tanks drain into the head . •Build quality is solid but not luxury—thinner hulls typical of production boats; good freshwater use, but avoid potential hazards like platform-mounted fuel tanks (). •Parts and components often still available via generic marine suppliers even though Carver brand is gone . ⸻ 📊 Value & Ownership Cost •Market values vary: around $6,500 – $15,000, depending on condition, engine, gear . •Estimated yearly ownership costs (marina, insurance, fuel, maintenance) approx. $8.7 k . •Typical maintenance tasks: engine repowers, upholstery, control cables, batteries, bellows, trim tabs, etc. . ⸻ ✅ Why Choose the Montego 2757? •Offers car‑like comforts in a trailerable-ish package (with beam ~10′, though few actually tow it) . •Spacious interior for its class—mid-cabin setup, decent galley, stand-up head. •Affordable compared to larger cruisers, and often found at entry-level prices. •Good for freshwater use (e.g., Great Lakes, inland lakes)—saltwater possible but requires diligent upkeep . ⸻ 🧭 Buying Tips •Always get a marine survey + sea trial, especially on ~35-year-old systems (). •Check freshwater system, engine hours, and engine servicing history. •Inspect hull, berthing, canvas, and electronics—these boats age visibly. •Understand that value buys come with ongoing maintenance. ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict If you’re after a roomy, manageable mid‑cabin cruiser under 30 feet that sleeps your crew comfortably and offers good value, the 1989 Carver Montego 2757 is a strong candidate—especially if you’re up for a bit of maintenance and care.
