Express Models

Silverton's Express Models of this era were designed with a newer look than earlier models, with flowing lines and a swept-back aft section featuring a molded-in swim platform. Inside cherry wood replaced the oak of some earlier models. Bright fabric and leather colors completed the look.

31 Express 310

1993-2000. The 31 Express 310 was introduced with the swept-back lines of the recent 34 and 38 Express models, and the molded-in swim platform. Although smaller than the other express models, this has the same general layout inside with a master stateroom in the bow, a guest stateroom aft, under the raised bridge deck, a dinette with some permanent seating and galley. Power was provided by twin Mercruiser 250 HP sterndrives - rare even for Silverton and never used by most other builders here.

34 Express

1991-1994. The earlier 34 Express from the late 1980s was short-lived and replaced with this redesigned 34 Express notable for the molded swim platform and sleeker lines. It also weighs in 5,000 lbs heavier. Inside is roomy with a U-shaped dinette, galley and head with a separate shower. The bow area contains a centerline pedestal bed in the master stateroom with a draw curtain separator. A second stateroom is further aft, under the raised bridgedeck. Plenty of built-in seating is provided in the helm area and in the cockpit. Power is twin Crusader 330 HP V-drives.

36 Express 360/361

1995-2000. The 36 Express 360 replaced both the 34 and the 38 Express models and was produced alongside the 31 Express thru 2000. Introduced as the Express 360, this same model was later referred to as the Express 361. The interior layout was similar to the other Express models with two staterooms, a head with shower, convertible dinette and galley. The hull form was flattened somewhat to 12 deg of deadrise from 17 deg in other Express models. This along with larger engines produced more speed. Power was provided by twin 8.1L Mercruiser gas engines of 380-410 HP, through V-drive inboards.

38 Express

1990-1994. The 38 Express was introduced just as the earlier 34 and 40 Express models were discontinued. It would compliment the redesigned 34 Express introduced about the same time, but was more than a foot wider and 5,000 lbs heavier. The 38 Express had a similar layout to the 34 Express but more room inside and out. Available power was 355 HP gas or diesels of 325-375 HP.

Flybridge Models

Silverton produced a number of traditional Convertible Flybridge models during this period. These included 31, 34, 37 and 41 foot Convertibles. These were some of Silverton's most successful models. Characterized by traditional Jersey Design, these models had high flared bows, lower freeboard aft, large cockpits, flat transoms, flybridge ladders and helm stations with a view of the cockpit. Still, these had Convertible Compromises: lighter construction, lower power, front windows and limited fishing features standard. But they offered affordable convertible boating, good construction and interesting design.

31 Convertible

1991-1995. The 31 Convertible is the same model produced in the 1980s, but production had been halted since 1987. Following repeal of the luxury tax, Silverton was able to quickly resume production of this popular model, their smallest at that time. It was again a favorite until they could design and produce a newer model in the Model 312. The 31 Convertible can be identified by the classic flat transom. Inside was a very large and open saloon, usually found with a convertible sofa. A single stateroom was in in the bow. Power was provided by twin Crusader gas 270 HP straight inboards, accessed from the saloon.

34 Convertible

1991-1995. The 34 Convertible is an updated, but classic, model of the various 34 Convertibles produced by Silverton. It was 4500 lbs heavier than the previous model. The cockpit was enlarged about a foot taken from the cabin. On later models the flybridge is modified to extend somewhat over the cockpit providing room above and shade below. Inside was the single stateroom in the bow, now slightly enlarged. And expanded galley and a booth style dinette provide for eating. Power was twin Crusader gas inboards of 350 HP producing 18-29 mph.

34 Convertible

2004-2007. The 34 Convertible, in an updated but classic design, made a brief reappearance to provide a traditional, medium sized fishing platform and cruiser. It included a traditional walk-around cabin and flat transom. The bridge ladder is a molded feature from the moderate cockpit. The flybridge has the helm station forward with two captains chairs, and there is ample additional seating. Inside was updated with 2 staterooms, a complete galley, an L-shaped convertible dinette and stylish cherry wood saloon. The hull carried 12.5 deg of deadrise to the transom. Power was provided by twin V-drive Crusader gas of 385 HP or diesel of 315 HP from Cummins or Yanmar.

37 Convertible

1990-2000. The 37 Convertible was upgraded in design for the 1990s after being a successful model for the entire 1980s. Bridge access is provided by a traditional ladder. The helm station was located toward the rear of the flybridge for easy view of the cockpit. It remained a single stateroom model with a large centerline berth. Additional berthing was available on the convertible dinette and convertible saloon sofa. The dinette was introduced as a booth style but by 1993 was further redesigned as a U-shaped dinette. Access to the engine room was from the saloon. Power was provided by twin straight inboards of twin Crusader gas of 350 HP. Caterpillar diesels of 325 HP were an option.

41 Convertible

1991-1999. The 41 convertible was developed as Silverton's largest Convertible model at the time, replacing the 40 Convertible of the late 1980s. More than a foot longer and almost a foot wider, the 41 Convertible had more room inside. Designed as a twin stateroom model from the beginning, it had a centerline queen bed in the master stateroom in the bow, and bunk beds in a guest stateroom, also on the lower level. A booth style dinette seated six, opposite the U-shaped galley. Available power was twin inboard Crusader gas 380 HP or Caterpiller diesels of 410 HP.

48 Convertible

2004-2005. The 48 Convertible was introduced in 2004 when the 42 was the largest Convertible in the lineup. It was a short-lived model that would be renamed the 50 Convertible after only two years. The 48 Convertible's beam of 16'3" and displacement of 46,000 lbs., provided room and comfort. Inside were three staterooms, two heads and a complete galley. In this 2004 model features were upgraded over earlier models with corian countertops, solid cherry construction and better furniture. Engine room access was from the cockpit. Available power included diesels from Volvo, Caterpillar and MTU of 700-825 HP.

Sport Bridge Models

The Sport Bridge model evolved during this period. It began with the 31 and 36 foot Sedan Cruiser 312 and 362 in 1993 and 1994. These had sweeping lines, a molded-in swim platform and molded flybridge stairs. The 35 foot Sedan Cruiser 351, pushed the cabin walls out to the hull sides and created new foredeck access from the flying bridge - a design Silverton called the "Sidewalk". The 33 Sedan Bridge 330 followed with the same design and a sightly enlarged bridge. The 41 Sport Bridge 410 expanded the bridge more and introduced the Sport Bridge name. These models provided a lot of room inside, a large flying bridge with ample seating and a smaller, shaded cockpit.

31 Sedan Cruiser 312

1993-1999. By l993 Silverton designed a newer looking 31 flybridge model named the Sedan Cruiser 312, in keeping with their new numeric model naming scheme. Built in conjunction with the 31 Express 310, it looked similar. The exterior included molded stairs to the flybridge, replacing the ladder, a radar arch, curved glass sliding door to the cabin, and sheerline tapered down to a molded-in swim platform. Inside a set of bunk beds complemented the master stateroom in the bow. A dinette in the saloon also converted to bed. Power was provided by twin gas Mercruiser sterndrives of 210-250 HP producing 19-25 mph, accessed from the cockpit.

33 Sedan Bridge 330

1999-2007. The 33 Sedan Bridge 330 was built on the design first created with the 351 a couple of years earlier. The cabin was extended to the hull sides and foredeck access was provided from the flybridge. Inside a single stateroom forward had an athwartship double bed. The large saloon, almost the full beam, contained the head, galley, a convertible dinette and sofa. This model was powered by twin Crusader gas V-drives of 340 HP.

35 Sedan Cruiser 351

1997-2003. The 35 foot Sedan Cruiser 351, sold briefly as the 35 Convertible, replaced a long line of 34 Convertibles with a newer, curvier design, as well as the 3-digit model number scheme used for a while. The Sedan Cruiser 351 included some new design features, most notably the foredeck access from the flybridge, which Silverton named the "Sidewalk", odd because it eliminated the traditional walkway around the side of the cabin. This feature enabled them to widen the cabin structure to the hull side and significantly enlarge the saloon. But it also requires a boater in the cockpit to go through the flybridge to get to the foredeck. Inside is a single stateroom in the bow, a nice galley, an L-shaped convertible dinette and a large saloon with convertible sofa. Powered by twin Crusader 7.4L gas V-drives at 340-385 HP produces 15-29 mph.

36 Sedan Cruiser 362

1994-1998. The 36 Sedan Cruiser 362, and the Express 361, were designed to follow the success of the 31 Sedan 312 and Express 310. These new models had molded-in swim platforms and curving rub-rails from high on the bow to almost the waterline at the transom. The stairway to the flybridge was also molded into the deck structure. Inside a master stateroom in the bow was complemented with a guest stateroom having two single berths and a filler cusion to make a double berth. A convertible U-shaped dinette is forward in the saloon and the galley is down, aft of the staterooms. The large flybridge had the helm position forward with plenty of seating for guests. The Sedan Cruiser 362 weighed in at just over 15,000 lbs, light for a 36 footer, and was powered by twin V-drive Crusader gas engines of 320 HP to produce 18-26 mph.

41 Sport Bridge 410

2001-2004. The 41 foot Sport Bridge 410 was created to expand the evolving Sport Bridge model line larger. The overall design was the same as the previous 33 and 35 foot models but, recognizing the significance of the flying bridge, it was enlarged and extended over the cockpit even more than previous models. Inside is a master stateroom forward with a centerline queen berth. A guest stateroom with an athwartships double bed is aft the master, separated by the separate head and shower. The entire interior is surfaced in wood veneers. A large galley is on the saloon level fully forward to the front windows, with a nice semi-circular dinette adjacent, although with a somewhat small table. The saloon is large with a width almost to the full 14'3" beam. The deadrise of 12 degrees on this hull was less than earlier models. Available power for twin straight inboards in gas or diesel was from 350-450 HP.

Motoryacht Models

32 Motoryacht 322

1998-2001. The Motoryacht 322 followed closely behind the novel 392 and 352 Motoryachts. While the general layout attempts to be similar, it is obviously a challenge in a 32 foot hull. Still, all the parts are there. Two staterooms, two heads including two showers. To keep costs down for this entry level model, some features were left as options, including a cover for the flybridge, generator and AC. With dry displacement under 20,000 lbs this boat can exceed 30 mph. Power is provided by 350ci or 454ci Crusader gas inboards or Volvo diesels.

34 Motoryacht

1992-1996. The 34 Motoryacht was introduced a year after the 41 Motoryacht and bears quite a resemblance, though smaller. It is built on the same hull as the 34 convertible of the same years. This is a two stateroom motoryacht, and can sleep at least eight. The aft stateroom has a queen berth, plus a head and shower. The guest stateroom forward has a double-size berth nestled into the bow. Neither of these staterooms has enough space for free-standing berths. A convertible booth style dinette and galley are on the lower level forward. The saloon includes a convertible sofa. General interior decor is white panels and light oak highlights and trim. Access to the boat is at the rear and forward sides of the sundeck. Side walkways provide easy access to the foredeck. The flybridge is up a few steps from the sundeck. Power was twin straight inboards and Crusader gas engines of 330-350 HP.

35 Motoryacht 352

1997-2002. The Motoryacht 352 followed the 392 with Silverton's "Sidewalk" design providing foredeck access from the flybridge, and was a scaled down model of that boat. It may share a hull with the 351 Sedan Bridge released at the same time. The forward guest stateroom is condensed with a rotated berth and combination shower and toilet in the head. Standard power was twin 8.1L Crusader inboards of 385 HP, or optional Volvo diesels.

37 Motoryacht 392

1996-2001. The Motoryacht 392, sometimes referred to as the Motoryacht 372, was built on a 37 foot hull modified from the 37 Convertible hull. The Motoryacht 392 introduced Silverton's foredeck access directly from the flybridge, which they called the "Sidewalk" - odd since it eliminated the traditional side deck access to the foredeck. But this enabled them to expand the cabin to the full beam of the boat. The Motoryacht 392 was a two stateroom, two head design. There was ample seating on the flybridge alongside the helm seat and also in front of the helm. The sundeck had plenty of room for seating. Available power included both gas and diesel options of 320-350 HP.

40 Motoryacht 402

1996-1998. The 40 foot Motoryacht 402 was one of the last motoryachts with traditional side deck access to the foredeck. It had a short three year production but was continued as the Motoryacht 422. The Motoryacht 402 was a two stateroom design with a free-standing Queen berth in the aft cabin and an angled double berth in the forward stateroom. Also forward was a convertible booth dinette and galley. The salon included a convertible sofa. Boarding is provided from the center of the molded swim platform to the sundeck or at the forward sides of the sundeck at higher docks or with external steps. This model was a relatively light 23,500 lbs with 12 degrees of deadrise. Power was twin gas 454ci or 502ci Crusader straight inboards of 350-400 HP. Speeds were 16-24 mph.

41 Motoryacht

1991-1995. The 41 Motoryacht was introduced alongside the 41 Convertible and was based on the same hull. It's introduction followed the 46 Motoryacht by two years and immediately replaced the earlier 40 Motoryacht. The 41 Motoryacht was a two stateroom, two head design. The master aft stateroom had a centerline, free-standing queen berth, head and shower. The guest stateroom in the bow had a free-standing double bed. The galley and booth dinette are down four steps under the front windows. Exit the saloon up four steps to the aft deck. Engines and V-drives are accessed and located under the saloon. Available power was Crusader gas or Caterpillar 3208 diesels of 350-435 HP producing speeds of 16-26 mph.

42 Motoryacht 422

1999-2001. The Motoryacht 422 was a continuation of the Motoryacht 402. It reflects the confusion generated with measurements as bow pulpits and swim platforms became molded into the hull. Reported LOA is 43'7" but an actual measurement would be required to know what is included. Aside from some updated seating and fabrics the 422 is identical to the 402. The most noticeable change is the use of newer 8.1L Crusader engines of 385-405 HP. This adds a couple of mph to both cruise and max speed, and probably improves fuel economy with these newer engines. The weight remains 23,500 lbs, which is even more unusual for a 42 footer.

43 Motoryacht

2001-2007. The 43 Motoryacht was created with the latest available designs and features as Silverton's largest motoryacht, replacing the Motoryacht 422, Cockpit Motoryacht 442 and Motoryacht 453. It also signaled a return to traditional model naming. The 43 Motoryacht continued the full-beam design with foredeck access from the flybridge, but did not include direct saloon access seen on the 453. The 43 Motoryacht was a two stateroom, two head model. The master stateroom in the aft cabin included an athwartship queen berth to starboard and separate grooming facilities on the entire port side, including a toilet compartment, shower compartment and exposed sink cabinet. The forward stateroom included a centerline queen berth. The interior was heavily finished in fine cherry woodwork on most surfaces, cabinetes and doorways, replacing white paneling on some previous models. Power was provided by twin straight inboards from Caterpiller, Cummins and Volvo and Yanmar of 385-480 HP.

44 Cockpit Motoryacht 442

1996-2001. The Cockpit Motoryacht 442 is likely the only cockpit motoryacht that Silverton has produced. It appears to be built from the 40 Motoryacht with an extension for the open cockpit at the rear which identifies this model. This is a two stateroom design with additional sleeping provided by a convertible dinette and convertible sofa. Foredeck access is along sidedecks from the aft sundeck. The flybridge and sundeck are shaded by covers. The aft cabin is modified with a sliding glass door for direct access to the cockpit. A molded swim platform is included and a bolt-on extended swim platform is often seen. Power is provided by Crusader 380 HP or Caterpillar 3126 engines producing 385-420 HP. Speeds range from 16-22 mph.

45 Motoryacht 453

1999-2003. The Motoryacht 453 was introduced a year or two after the 46 Motoryacht was discontinued and became Silverton's largest model for its entire life. The Motoryacht 453 used the same "SideWalk" design from the foredeck to the flybridge, but enhanced it with a doorway into the saloon at the base of the flybridge stairs, seen only on this model. In the optional two-station layout this also provided foredeck access from the inside helm. Inside were three staterooms and two heads. The head in the master aft stateroom even included a bathtub! Original standard power was 330 HP Cummins diesels, but power was increased up to 635 HP and most are seen with 450 Cummins or 480 Volvo diesels.

46 Motoryacht

1989-1997. The 46 Motoryacht was introduced when Silvertons biggest models were 40 footers. This model was 6ft 2in longer than the 40 Motoryacht, more than two feet wider, almost 50 percent heavier and the deadrise was greater. But with standard diesels instead of gas engines speeds were actually faster. Inside were three staterooms and accomodations to sleep up to ten. The master stateroom is in the aft cabin and includes a private head with shower. A guest stateroom in the bow has a centerline double berth with direct access to the forward head. A smaller guest stateroom forward has offset bunk beds. A large galley and large convertible dinette are on a mid level under the expansive front windows. The large saloon includes a convertible sofa. Ample bridge seating and a large covered aft deck complete the package. Power was provided by twin Detroit 6-71 Diesels of 485 HP.
