In October of 2001, after I had decided to purchase a pre-owned Carver 350 Mariner, I learned that a 1999 model with only 60 hours of use was available at Lake Tahoe. With the help of Don Happel, a broker who works for D'Anna Yacht Center, I negotiated the purchase of what would become "Chapter Two."
