The Carver 3297 Mariner (called the 330 Mariner from

1993–96) was introduced in 1985 as a downsized version of

Carver’s mega-popular 3697 Mariner. While it’s true that the 3297

Mariner has drawn a lot of abuse over the years for her ungainly

appearance, over 650 were sold during a decade-long production

run which says a lot about Carver’s ability to please the public. The

great appeal of the Mariner is her enormous full-beam, single-level

interior. Entering from the cockpit through double sliding glass

doors, the spacious teak-trimmed salon includes a convertible

U-shaped dinette, convertible sofa, wet bar, and a convenient (and

unique) access ladder to the flybridge. A large galley with dual

sinks, three burner stove, microwave and full-size refrigerator/

freezer is forward to port, opposite an equally large head with

separate stall shower. The bow stateroom has an offset double

berth, hanging locker, and privacy door. Topside, the party-time

bridge deck is reached via twin ladders in the cockpit. A centerline

transom door, bow pulpit, swim platform, and foredeck sun pad

are standard. Crusader 260hp gas engines (with V-drives) cruise

the 3297 Mariner at 14–16 knots (low to mid 20s top).
