I think David Pascoe was having a bad day when he wrote the Carver review. I read it before buying our current boat but for our intended use and location it was totally irrelevant. Are there better built boats, absolutely, but not everyone has the need or $$$$$ for the alternatives.
To the OP, I have a buddy that had 3116 cats on his 37 SeaRay and had no issues with them at all and owned it for 8 to 10 years.
