3207 Aft Cabin

The fact that the Carver 3207 Aft Cabin managed to remain in production for so many years says a lot about her popularity with the public. Her somewhat boxy exterior—unavoidable in a double-cabin boat this size—masks a surprisingly spacious interior with cruising accommodations for a small family. Built on a low-deadrise modified-V hull with a relatively wide beam, the floorplan of the 3207 Aft Cabin was arranged with a single and slide-out double berth in the master stateroom and a V-berth forward. (Note that in 1990, the master stateroom was reconfigured with a double berth.) The only stall shower is in the forward head. A lower helm was standard, and the salon sofa converts to a double berth. While this is an impressive layout for a 32-footer, storage space is very limited except in the galley where there are numerous drawers and cabinets. The small aft deck can accommodate a couple of folding chairs (a hardtop was not an option for this boat). Additional features include a bow pulpit, flybridge seating for three, a swim platform, and teak interior trim. A sjpgf ride in a chop, the cruising speed with standard 270hp gas engines is 15–16 knots.
