2004 Silverton 38 Convertible

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is the wide, secure side decks and solid rail height—moving forward to handle lines or drop the hook feels confident, not precarious. The flybridge layout keeps the helm social, with guest seating wrapped close so no one’s isolated underway. Sightlines are excellent both forward and aft, making docking feel far less dramatic than on many 38-footers. Below, the head has a genuinely usable separate shower, not a token wet head. Storage is surprisingly generous: deep lockers for cruising gear, dedicated spaces for tackle, and room to stash water toys so the cockpit stays uncluttered and ready to fish or relax.

In this harbor, conditions can swing from flat calm to lumpy chop in a single outing, and the 38 Convertible’s hull handles that shift with reassuring composure. The elevated helm clears the maze of traffic and moorings, giving you the visibility you need in a busy waterfront setting. With diesels sipping fuel, long idle periods during no-wake transits don’t feel wasteful. The generous cockpit is ideal for both serious fishing just outside the breakwater and casual evening cruises along the skyline. Two real staterooms let friends or charter guests stay aboard comfortably after a late return to the slip.
