2002 Carver 396 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht: Twin Cummins 5.9 Diesels, Just Under 1,000 Hours Carver offered the 396 with two engine packages, and this is the one to own. She’s powered by twin 5.9L Cummins diesels (6BTA, 370 hp), with just under 1,000 hours on the engines and the 1,000-hour service just completed. The next owner starts with that milestone behind them and without gasoline in the engine room. Below decks, the 396 is known for interior volume that’s unusual in a 40-foot boat. A raised walkdeck lets the cabin run the full 13'11" beam, so the salon, dinette and step-down galley open into one level living space with close to seven feet of headroom. The cherry joinery and high-gloss bulkheads give it a finished look that many boats of this size can’t match. The aft master has a walkaround queen berth, built-in storage and a private head with a separate stall shower. A second stateroom and second head [confirm configuration] make her comfortable for two couples or a family on longer trips. Topside, the covered aft deck is about 73 square feet and self-draining, with a full hardtop and wing doors that make it a usable room in most weather. An integral stairway leads to the flybridge, which has a centerline helm and seating for six. Visibility from the upper station is excellent, and docking is easier for it. The boat's $22,000+ recent Cummins service is a major advantage for
