Up for sale is an extremely clean and rare 1995 Silverton 310 Express cruiser. This boat is my pride and joy and have spent many great years on her - Sadly I don't want to sell but need to consider offers because of some life changing events. There are a ton of added features, upgrades and details which I will do my best to list. The boat is currently in the water at her slip ready for a sea trial.
Hull:
Gelcoat and fiberglass are in great shape; All rub rails were replaced and stainless steel inserts added for protection. The aft locker door was also repaired and is not included in most of the pictures you see here; I will try to add newpictures as necessary.
Motor:
Motors are custom made 383 stroker engines which are also closed cooled. Mercruiser rigged with updated 14 degree dry joint exhaust risers to avoid any reversion or condensation issues. An elaborate fresh water flush system was designed to clear out ALL salt water while the engine is running - Therecan beno corrosion issues with any of the motor or its parts. Motors were dynoed at a true 350 horsepower and this boat will do 40+mph easily. (And yes I have the dyno sheets)
Propulsion:
Mercruiser Alpha Gen II's with counter rotation prop. Port skeg is broken and will need to be replaced but doesn't affect the performance at all because you have twin engines and one good skeg still. Service work was done this year and I have receipts. Prop set is 14 3/4 X 19.
Electronics:
Upgraded Simrad NSS 7Radar/Fishfinder/Chartplotter was added in 2013 and I still have receipts; Raymarine A65 was alsoleft in place to act as a single screen fishfinder with a Garmin NMEA 0183 GPS antenna. This setup rocks and the GPS signal locks on so fast that the screen doesn't have a chance tofully rasterize! Sony radio with Aux cable installed; Kenwood speakers round out the cockpit. Some planking lights need to be replaced and I will include the LEDs that I bought to bolt into the Perko units. Marine radio was upgraded in 2013 as well with GPS connection for DSC which was registered during the install. Optima batteries were purchased in 2012 and connect to a 10amp Charles type charger. There is also a fully functional and operation Kohler 6.5 CZ generator with a transfer switch and external gauges.
Canvas/Cockpit Upholstery & Flooring:
Canvas is in good shape and a new camper top was added in 2012. Cockpit upholstery was all redone in 2012 as well and is remarkable - All brand new. PlasTeak was added in 2013 for the cockpit floor and rounds out the look of it and adds a safety measure to prevent slipping.
Below deck:
All interior and upholstery was completely redone for the aft cabin, galley and vee berth; Again work is top notch and its still fairlynew. Refrigerator was replaced in 2011 and there is a 16K BTU air conditioning system to provide comfort. The floor was redone with Allure in 2010. I modified the blackwater tank to incorporate a drop tube for picking up effluent and replaced ALL waste hoses and the macerator- It's done and won't be an issue for the life of the boat now. Comes with one flat screen TV with two additional brackets for flexibility or moving around. There is an extra cable coax located in the vee berth for TV viewing but you'll need to install a digital antenna. Provision breakerfor an inverter has beeninstalled in the event someone wants to add one. There is also a zinc saver installed with a connection monitor for both 30 amp service connections.
Other Notes:
Washdown pump and quick connects were installed located on the bow and stern for easy washing/rinsing; No more dragging a long hose around. Retractable vent hatch - EXTREMELY IMPORTANT... anyone who knows this model should be aware that Silverton made a mistake by leaving the vent cover open to rain. This "rain" will lay on top of your port motor and seep into carburetor. Once you try to start, you find out the hard way that water doesn't compress - I took it upon myself to correct this flaw. I mentioned that you will need to replace the port skeg on the outdrive; You will also need to eventually replace the hot water tank. The fresh water pump and connected tank should be cleaned or replaced; The fresh water tank is about 35 gallons and the blackwater tank 28 gallons; No leaks. Has a windlass but you'll need to invest in a good anchor and rope/lead as it does not have one. It also has a new refrigerator located in the cockpit. Swim platform has a ladder and is in good shape showing no nicks, scratches or damage you'll need to worry about. I am also including the trailer in this auction because it was really bought and designed for this boat.
I don't think anyone will find a boat this clean with the total amount of additions that were installed. I've yet to see any Silverton like mine so to me it's one of a kind.
Disclaimer:
As with any classifieds board listing, I've tried to describe everything about this vessel to the best of my knowledge. I would encourage anyone that is serious to see the vessel for themselves - I am not afraid of a sea trial and am confident it will pass with no problem. This vessel is being sold "as is" and doesn't include any warranty or refunds once the sale is final. It has a clear NJ title along with the trailer.
