I'm about to look at an 83 Riviera. I think.
single crusader 454
would love some general info and thoughts.
This particular model has been drydocked for at least 5 years

You might want to go over to the Carver owners website and ask.
I didn't know they made that model in a single. Everyone I ever saw (in person or the web) always had a pair of 307's or maybe 350's.

This is one of two on the east coast I've been watching for a few years. It mechanically ran and sounded so good so good I bought it. Now I have a ton of cosmetic and I'm sure electrical work to find

Is it really a single engine model?

YEP! single smooth running crusader.
Now I'm looking for a generator. Any ideas are appreciated.
