Silverton Convertible for sale in Oriental, North Carolina United States of America

The Silverton 33 Convertible is a good-looking family cruiser whose roomy interior comes as a surprise in a boat this size. Not that a two-stateroom floorplan is unusual in a 33-foot boat—there have been several such designs in the past, some more successful than others. The wide 12'8"" beam of the Silverton 33, however, results in an exceptionally open layout that is enhanced by her large cabin windows. A sleeper sofa and dinette are standard in the salon, and the U-shaped galley includes a built-in microwave, single-burner stove, and an under-counter refrigerator/freezer. Sliding windows provide good cabin ventilation, and two hatches in the salon sole provide access to the engine room. Below, the double bed in the master stateroom faces forward rather than aft, a space-saving design that might prove uncomfortable while underway. The small guest stateroom, aft and to port, has a double berth, hanging locker, and standing headroom by the doorway. The cockpit of the Silverton 33—small to begin with owing to the expansive salon—includes a transom door and molded fiberglass steps leading up the flybridge. Cruise at 18–20 knots with Crusader 375hp gas inboards (high 20s top)

Sea conditions in the Atlantic were rougher than heck: Waves barreling down from the north averaged four to six feet, and winds were gusting to 25 knots and higher. Yet my test boat did virtually everything I asked of her, zooming up sea, down sea, and side sea with the gusto that typifies her Donald L. Blount and Associates hull form. Her SeaStar hydraulic steering felt smooth, her optional Gioia Sails enclosure kept us dry, and the vinyl-upholstered, foam-over-polyethylene seats (Prefixx-treated to resist UV damage and mildew) were substantial enough to add comfort to the ride.
