Buying 1991 46 Silverton

We have a contract to buy a 1991 46 Silverton Motor Yacht does anyone know of anything we need to look for on this model that may be a problem. Detroit 6-71's 800 hours. The boat seems to be well kept on a scale of 1-10 she looks to be a solid 8.

1991 @ 800 hours? Since MOH? Hours in the last year or two? 2 strokes need a good survey.
I do not think they have had an overhaul. The boat has only had 80 hours put on her since 2002.
Low hours could be good. Real low hours could be bad. These same thoughts have been argued before on this forum. Do some searches and you can read more on these concerns. I'm in the opinion that your looking at a non-used boat and really need the OLD oil analyzed before it's changed. AND a complete engine survey completed. I'm a big 71 fan. They are great engines. Can go thru allot of hours but they were made to run. After no use in years, you could go down the river & run forever or you could have problems within a few hours. Protect your investment, have them checked out.

Diesel Survey Just had a complete engine survey and everything passed with flying colors!! The diesel surveyor said the engines and generator were well taken care of and he was impressed with the compression and condition of both. Wow a great day for us.

Re: 1984 Silverton 34C Remodel/Update/Upgrade PIC HEAVY Nice boat, and great job on all the woodwork. What's it got for engines? Is it I/O, V-drives?

- There is NO home base or clubhouse – we live right here on the Internet.
- We are NOT a social club. We don’t have activity committees to go around the country and set up dock parties and other activities. Local members plan and host gatherings if they wish to do so.
- We are NOT a yacht club. We don’t have yacht club protocol, by-laws and rules. If you are currently a member of a yacht club, we won’t compete with them for your time or $$
- We do NOT have hefty dues and annual fees. The cost is $20 a year —- $1.67 per month.
- We are NOT a cruising club.
- There are NO meetings to attend.
- There are NO attendance or participation requirements.

Our bulletin board includes forums dedicated to gas and diesel engines, generator discussions, electrical, general boat maintenance, selling boat equipment as well as forums dedicated to specific boat models.
Only the $20 annual subscription fee collected from the members financially supports the club. That helps us support our dock parties and maintain and upgrade our website. We do not receive corporate or dealer financial support for club operations.
Selling your Silverton boat?
All the more reason to join! As a member, you can sell your Silverton boat for free on our website Market Place. Other boat clubs and yacht broker websites charge up to $125 to put your boat on the web. Many people look here before purchasing a Silverton boat so we can help you reach all the web visitors who are shopping for a boat. Last year we had over 215,000 visitors. Your boat ad stays on the board until you sell it or as long as you are a member in good standing.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO OWN A SILVERTON BOAT TO JOIN THE CLUB!
We welcome Wannabees in the group while they are shopping for a Silverton boat. We give them the opportunity to communicate with someone who has a boat like the boat they are hoping to buy as plus all the benefits of regular members. Smart shoppers join the club before they buy to learn the right questions to ask about price and Silverton boat maintenance.
Come into our group and meet other Silverton Owners. The boats in the group range from the oldest to the newest. The smallest to the largest. Our bulletin board helps members with the same boat or who boat in the same area to find each other.

But a silverton is more like a Searay than it is like Viking. Meaning its more of a close to shore cruising style boat, and not an offshore battle wagon. I think they would make a great condo down the shore, if thats what your looking for. As in offshore --- less than 120nm or further.

Not many years ago, these were near $100K boats. The main difference in the older to newer production run is the interior finish. Early boats had teak interior trim, and from 1985 on it was oak. Formica counter top colors evolved from earlier neutral tones to lots of pink in the 1986-1988 years.

04-08-2023, 08:24 AM. There are only two boats I have ever actually wanted: the Silverton 48 Convertable and the 48-foot fountain express. There are a pile of boats I have liked and a few I have owned, but those two boats create a driving desire in me to own them. I spent a number of hours sitting on a new Silverton 48 and finally had to drag ...

Silverton 31 and 34. Hey everybody, still on the lookout for a descent sized family cruiser, Recently i was able to tour a late 1970s silverton 31. Well maintained, massive salon, twin engines, and sleeping accomadations for 6, exactly what ive been looking for. Ive also noticed the silverton 34 from the same era is almost identical but scaled up.
