1997 Silverton Silverton 362 Sedan Cruiser

Step aboard and you’ll notice how easy it is to move around this 36-footer. Wide side decks, solid rails, and molded steps from cockpit to bridge make line handling and docking far less stressful than on many boats this size. Visibility from the helm is excellent, with a clear view of bow and swim platform when backing into a slip. The hull has a reassuringly solid feel underway, with a big-boat stance that settles nicely in a chop. Owners appreciate the generous storage tucked under seats and in clever lockers, plus a cockpit layout that works just as well for diving, swimming, and fishing as it does for evening cocktails.

This model shines in local waters where conditions can change quickly from flat calm to choppy. The sedan profile and higher freeboard help keep the crew dry, while the flybridge gives you a commanding view for navigating crowded harbors and tight mooring fields. Twin inboards with straight shafts handle close-quarters maneuvering predictably and give you the confidence to explore further afield on weekend runs. With proper canvas, the bridge becomes a second salon on cooler days, and the open cockpit is perfect for raft-ups, dinghy access, and sunset cruises along the shoreline. It’s a versatile platform for both short hops and longer coastal adventures.
