2005 Silverton 34 Convertible

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much natural light pours into the salon through the big wraparound windows, giving the boat a larger feel than most 34-footers. The wide side decks and molded steps up to the bridge make moving around underway feel secure, even with a coffee in hand. The bridge itself has great sightlines to the corners when docking and enough seating that your guests won’t be piled on top of the helm. Below, the generous headroom and thoughtful storage mean weekend bags and fishing gear actually have a place to live instead of cluttering the cabin.

This size and style shines in waters where you might run a choppy inlet in the morning, then tuck into a quiet harbor by afternoon. The convertible design gives you the height and visibility to read channels and traffic, while still offering a comfortable, climate-controlled cabin for shoulder-season cruising. Twin diesels provide confidence for longer runs to offshore grounds or distant anchorages, yet the boat is compact enough to fit into tighter slips and older marinas. For local fishing, dockside entertaining, and weekending along nearby stretches of coast, this model hits a very practical sweet spot.
