Silverton 48 Convertible

This 2004 Silverton 48 is available for sale in Port Washington, New York. The vessel itself and the machinery have been maintained in top condition and includes many recent upgrades.
More coastal cruiser than serious fishing boat, the Silverton 48 Convertible (called the 50 Convertible in 2007?08) is a good-looking flybridge yacht whose versatile layout,
spacious interior, and attractive price made her one of the bestselling boats in her class. Built on a solid fiberglass hull with a wide 16'4" beam and prop pockets, Silverton sold a lot of these boats right up until the Great Recession hit in 2007. Her three-stateroom interior includes two double staterooms including a large amidships master with walkaround bed. A comfortable salon features a solid cherry table, Bose stereo system, and an Ultraleather sofa with incliner and concealed rod storage. The galley came standard with under-counter refrigeration and hardwood flooring. Front windows?unusual in most modern convertibles?provide additional natural lighting in the forward area of the salon. A hatch in the galley sole reveals a huge storage compartment. A livewell, raw water washdown, freezer, transom door, and engine room access door are found in the cockpit. Note the molded flybridge steps. Volvo 715hp D-12 diesels cruise in the mid to high 20s (30+ top). POWERBOAT GUIDE.
Many convertible designs follow a tournament theme, the 48?s soft sweeping lines and integrated arch/hardtop combine a convertible and modern cruiser. The tournament-style wheel and tiered electronics are standard, and the bucket-style upholstered helm and companion seating offer a comfortable flair not found on other convertibles. The lounge area forward of the helm is larger than that found on most convertibles this size. The 48?s hardtop has a full, four-sided enclosure, and the entire bridge can be air-conditioned.
The 48?s strongest quality is the interior. Silverton mastered the art of bringing shoreside comforts and luxury onboard. Standard amenities include a central vacuum system and innerspring mattresses. The entertainment system in the salon includes a flat-screen TV and sound system. The solid wood, satin-finished cherry interior is accented with high-quality soft goods and European hardware and fixtures. The galley is finished with Corian countertops and hardwood flooring. 
The main salon has an L-shape settee with an after built-in recliner, and an open galley and the dinette areas are forward. Curiously, a house-face windshield is standard. Belowdecks, the master cabin has a walkaround queen berth and private head. The forward cabin has a queen island berth and private access to a second head, which is also accessible from the passageway. The third cabin has upper and lower berths.

The vessel has an extremely well planned engine room, with 5'-6" headroom, easy access and space around all the machinery, and rubberized diamond plate flooring for safety, are just a few of the attributes. The engines are mounted on vinyl-coated steel I-beams, which transmit the engine load to the bulkheads instead of the stringers. The bilges are finished with gelcoat, and the underside of the saloon sole is a vacuum-bagged, balsa-cored composite with a high-gloss molded finish.
