I'll take a 58 LRC any day, anywhere. (well, almost). But from a maintenance standpoint it's a whole different bal o' wax. If OP is dependent on others to keep all those systems going he's gonna end up in the poor house. And, it's a LOT more intricate boat to operate. You have to understand your systems. It's not like jumping in a Carver and turning the key. Oh wait....

Re: Seaworthiness of a Carver motoryacht
I had a 2000 53 voyager for 10 years. It had QSM 11 635hp cruised at 26 mph burning 46 GPH. Great use of space but would beat you to death in anything over 2 ft waves. I had it on the Great Lakes which is one wicked body of water! Had it out more than once in 4 to 6 ft plus and came back alive with nothing broken but it was not any fun or for the faint of heart!

Re: Seaworthiness of a Carver motoryacht
The 58 LRC is a huge boat. A friend of mine had one- it has a great deal of interior space. Perhaps a smaller LRC would have interior room more or less comparable to the Carver? As far as a sea boat goes, there would be no comparison. The Carver is not designed for weather, let along heavy weather.
