2005 Carver 396 Motor Yacht – Twin Volvo Penta Diesel Power

"It's About Time" — Your Great Loop Adventure Awaits! Freshwater • Diesel Powered • Great Loop Ready

Some boats have a story to tell. "It's About Time" has a story waiting to be completed.

Both previous owners shared the dream of completing America's Great Loop. Unfortunately, life's timing and health circumstances prevented them from making that dream a reality.

The good news for the next owner? Both invested considerable time, effort, and money preparing this vessel for the journey.

"It's About Time" is ready for someone to turn that dream into reality.

This freshwater diesel-powered vessel has been thoughtfully prepared with long-distance cruising in mind. Rather than starting from scratch and spending months getting a boat ready for the Loop, the next owner can benefit from the preparations already made.

This is a "push off the dock and go" opportunity!

Whether you're preparing for America's Great Loop, planning extended inland cruising, or simply looking for your next adventure, "It's About Time" deserves a closer look.

The dream is still alive. The boat is waiting.

The only question is: Is it your time?
