Silverton 34 Convertible pictured above is an updated version of
the original Silverton 34 Convertible produced in 1978-82. Like so
many Silverton models before or since, the 34's super-competitive
price was her most compelling feature and she quickly became
known as a lot of boat for the money. Built on the same solid
fiberglass hull as her predecessor, a choice of galley-down interiors
was available, one with a double berth in the forward stateroom
and the other with V-berths. A lower helm was a popular option
and large wraparound windows admit tons of natural lighting
throughout the salon and galley areas. While the Silverton 34 was
an inexpensive boat with low-cost furnishings and so-so fit and
finish, there's much to admire in her efficient use of space and her
impressive list of standard equipment. The cockpit is large enough
for occasional fishing adventures, and seating for four is provided
on the flybridge. Additional features include a roomy engine room,
wide side decks, bow pulpit, and teak interior accents. Crusader
270hp gas engines cruise at 16-18 knots (mid to high 20s top).
