1986 Carver 28' (8.53 m) Riviera
Kingston, Ontario, Canada
Hard at Play
We have listed and sold a number of Carver 28 Rivieras and HARD AT PLAY is a good overall example of this unique model. Her owners appear to have continually improved her and she does boast two rebuilt 5.7 litre Mercruisers that were installed in 2018.

Description
Her large cockpit with plenty of seating makes HARD AT PLAY ideal for open-air cruising and entertaining. Her cockpit features a custom dry-bar, raised seating for 360-degree visibility, and a cruising dinette. For extended cruises, she features the luxury of two private staterooms. The stateroom aft offers both a single and a double berth with a convenient vanity, as well as a hanging locker and ample storage space.
Her main cabin features a spacious U-shaped dinette lounge that that functions as two single berths. There's a fully equipped galley with a stainless steel sink, a Ceramic-top electric stove, a dual-voltage refrigerator, a tastefully-installed toaster oven and ample counter and storage space. Her head compartment includes a large vanity and a hot shower. Her electronics arch is standard, and so is the comfortable six-foot sunlounge on her aft deck.
We have heard Riviera 28s referred to as a 40-foot boat in a 28-foot hull. HARD AT PLAY is a vessel worth considering if you are looking for a spacious pocket cruiser at a very reasonable price.
