Autopilot for 1992 carver 2828 /300 sedan

[aa704]

Looking for information from others on autopilot systems. I've just recently purchased a 1992 carver 2828/ 300 sedan. After doing a lot of searching thinking that it was a 1992 carver 28 voyager I was seeing that voyager wasn't made in 1992. It was very confusing. I reached out to the previous owner and sent him specs on the 2828 /300 and he confirmed that this was the boat I purchased. I've not taken delivery of the boat yet but would like to get it equipped with autopilot. I'm under the assumption that the boat is equipped with hynautic steering? Not sure if carver in 1992 used any other steering systems in their 30' boats? I plan on updating all electronics and I'm open to anything that would tie into the autopilot. The boat is going to be setup for fishing lake superior. Currently has older Ray marine radar. Any suggestions or information that can help steer me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Any other information about this boat would be appreciated as well

Have you gotten a survey--boat & engine. A boat that old COULD be a big money trap.

I didn't have a survey done, I did go and inspect the boat. It's very clean low hour that's been professionally maintained by marina. I purchased the boat from 2nd owner of 23 years. I didn't see anything that scared me from the boat. What was confusing was that it was listed as a 28 voyager and it's actually a 2828 sedan. In 1993 the swim platform and pulpit were added to the mold and the carver 300 was born. It was explained to me that it was carvers way around the luxury tax.
