Carrera Power Boat Mystery
 
Hi All,

I am new to this forum and thanks for having me.

I am looking to obtain information on a particular Carrera Powerboat model that I just cannot find any info on.

I am not allowed to post attachments yet so I have to describe!!!

1. Looks like is has the same hull as the Carrera Cartier 27' (with bathing platform)
2. 26' Boat with Mercruiser 454 Magnum Bravo 1

I would appreciate if if anybody could help me out!!!

As soon as I am allowed to post a pic of the Boat i will do so straight away :) . :angry-smiley-044:

Thanks again.

"Real" Carreras where made off hwy 826 in Miami :). I don't know why/how the Cali co was using the name. Carreras where made by Cubin's, Not Californians (I'm from Miami :) )

Yes, the original Carreras were made in Miami but made by Cubans...not Cubins!! lol Back in the early days many boats were made in Miami....Pantera, Cigarette, Apache, Monza, Midnight Express, Jaws, Mako, Scorpion, Tempest, Donzi, etc. etc. The old Thunderboat Row was the place to be!!!

I saw the picture on another site...

That "home made" trailer is just about the most ridiculous thing I've seen lately...and its actually causing damage to the hull. Oh my lord, I'd be walking away in a hurry. The boat is going to end up in the back seat of your tow vehicle when you touch the brakes for a red light....and do I really see that they have used an entire rear axle from a dually??? WTF???

If the trailer is any indication of how this guy does things...then I can't even begin to imagine the nonsense going on inside that boat. By the way, the skeg of the bottom of the outdrive isn't a damn kickstand for the boat to tilt back onto.

Please do yourself a favor and bring someone with you that knows about boats, have a survey done by a professional, or at the very least bring the boat to a marina you trust and ask for a second opinion.

Needless to say, that's not a Miami built Carrera...it looks like a Bayliner with a faring added to it.

Found some better pictures. An interesting looking boat, not sure if its a go fast...anybody recognize this design.

Love the seats,
