I knew that would get you to bite Fore Skins, "mission accomplished".........LMAONo... he'll buy a Larson then b!tch and moan about how it's "not fair" his crappy ugly boat is depreciating faster than a Sea Ray... it's a "union thing" ya know.
I've had both the Chevette and Pacer and I can tell you they both suck!!There ya' go... A guy trades his Chevette in on a AMC Pacer and is happy and that makes the Pacer a GREAT CAR!!!!
at least he bought a boat that the bridge faces the right direction...I knew that would get you to bite Fore Skins, "mission accomplished".........LMAO
As usual, just verbal vomit..... this really doesn't look like a "Chevette" to me (or any other sane person).There ya' go... A guy trades his Chevette in on a AMC Pacer and is happy and that makes the Pacer a GREAT CAR!!!!

For northwest cruising its one of the best boats on the water. Its one drawback (IMHO) is the beam could be wider.

The Ranger Tug is a nice boat for around here. Why they'd go for a Silverton after that simply must be be for the interior space and not for design and quality.
I can see Fore Skins behind the wheel now shouting "Skin it back man"!!!!:smt043 :smt043As usual, just verbal vomit..... this really doesn't look like a "Chevette" to me (or any other sane person).

Your model is nice looking and much easier on the eyes than the other one. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It's when I see models like the first one or the Carver 360 Mariner I just shake my head and say WTF?This is my first post in this forum. As former owner of a 2002 280 DA I ocassionally come here to see what is happening in the Sea Ray world - and capture some of the incredible knowledge that is regularly shared in here. We enjoyed that boat (our first) for almost 4 years and have plenty of fond memories from that time. Eventually it was time to move on to something bigger and we wanted a boat with a flybridge. Sea Ray did not have anything back then (2005) that fit our needs and budget (smallest bridge boat was the 420), and we ended buying a brand new Silverton 34 Convertible with twin Yanmar diesels (although labeled as a 34, the boat is actually over 40', with swim platform included). After almost 7 years of ownership and having logged over 760 hours, I cannot say enough good things about my Silverton. It is a very well built boat, living space is great (13' 10" beam), and more importantly, maintenance is easy, as everything is well laid out and easily accessible. I do all regular maintenance myself and in 7 years the only times I've had to get a mechanic's help was to rebuild the raw water pumps and later a recommended valve adjustment at 500 hrs. Something I particularly like is how Silverton provides access points throughout the boat, so cabling, etc. is done very easily. We installed all the electronics ourselves (2 chart plotters, radar, auto pilot, sonar, VHF).
It also has held up very well even in the South Florida sun, where we boat year-round. I agree with other posts that some of the Silverton models are ugly, and the sneaker compare is appropriate . It is a matter of opinion. I think the convertible is a great looking boat that so far has stood the test of time. It is still being produced, with just some interior changes, as the 36C.
As others have said, there are much better boats out there, but I think that from a cost/value perspective, the Silverton really stands out.
