Description
"Always Someday" is a 1991 Carver 430 Cockpit Motor Yacht in excellent condition. This boat is powered by reliable twin Cummins 6BT5.9 300hp diesel engines and a Kohler 8kw generator. She has been well-maintained and has extensive service records and manuals. Always Someday has been actively used, averaging 8-10 hours of travel per month over the last three years and covering approximately 2000 miles along the coast of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. She has also completed the Great Loop and explored the Bahamas.
Recent maintenance includes a 100-hour service completed in June, and a professional diesel technician has performed all engine and genset work. The heat exchangers and aftercoolers were fully serviced in 2021, and BOSCH reconditioned the injectors in the same year. This model of the 1991 Carver 430 was ordered without the lower helm, which allows for a more functional layout with increased galley counter space, a large storage area behind the dinette, and a full-height kitchen pantry.
Always Someday is equipped with practical features such as Bennett automatic trim tabs, a Rocna Vulcan 25 (55 lb.) anchor with a chain/rope combo rode, and a backup fluke anchor with a separate rode stored in the forward lazarette. She also includes a removable St. Croix davit system for engine lifting with mounts at the bow and stern, a custom made in USA St. Clair dinghy davit/cradle (removable when not in use), and a Raritan Elegance one-touch toilet in the master head, along with macerator pumps for both heads. The freshwater flush and local water flush capabilities are switchable. There is an additional freshwater tank under the master cabin bed (approximately 40 gallons).
"Always Someday" features full engine access with four floor hatches spanning the width of the salon, including a quick access hatch for engine fluid fills and strainer cleaning. Please see the full listing for all the details and photos. "Always Someday" is available to be seen by appointment in New Bern, North Carolina.
