Yes, the motor yacht can stay in the current slip in key west. Its in the Key West yacht club. With the slip rental that runs between $1200 and $1300 a month depending on electric bill. You get a free membership that isgood in any of the yacht club locations in florida. The club in KW has a private beach, pool, bar, restraint, tiki hut for sun set, wash/dryer, store, gym, showers. The slip the boat is in is very hard to come by. it is next to the pool in the inner basin. The clubslips are full but you can keep the slip with the purchase of the boat and we will help with that.We also have someone who is very reliable that looks after the boat and would do it for you if you want.

Sit on the sofa, which folds

out into a full bunk for

additional sleeping space, and

youll appreciate the 352s

luxurious Ultra Leather, which feels

mighty close to the real thing, and is an

upgrade. This includes the L-shaped

dinette, also.

The aft stateroom berth is more

comfortable than on many other boats.

Unlike the common marine

mattressread: foam padtheres a real

inner-spring mattress. Control for the

lights, two-zone air conditioning and

heat are right next to this bunk, so you

wont have to make a trip

into the main cabin in the

middle of the night if you

want to adjust them.

And heres some comfort

for your nerves: the huge

Bomar hatch on the rear

bulkhead doubles as an easyto-

access escape hatch onto

the massive bolt-on-swim

platform. And I do mean

massive: its 104 across and

42 wide. Thats more than

40 square feet of platform-

larger than the cockpit of

some boatsand it features a

standard hot/cold water

transom shower.

Another comfortable

spot on our test boat was the

aft deck, fitted with a wet bar

and surrounded by coaming.

When sunbathing is in

order, theres plenty of room

on the bridge. Theres seating

for six and the circular

forward seat is a great spot to

stretch.

When the 352 is tied to a floating dock, youll board her

from her integral swim platform, which extends 43 abaft the

transom (great for dinghy or PWC stowage). A curved, molded

stairway leads up to the aft deck and below is a large locker to

hold fenders, hoses, two 30-amp shore-power cords, and so on.

You can make all of your shore-side connections (TV, phone)

here.

For those times when youre boarding from a higher dock or

warf, youll come aboard through port and starboard half-doors

that lead directly onto the aft deck.

Here Silverton has made some

major improvements on the 392s

design. Instead of steps that could

pose a tripping hazard, the deck is

flat and easy to traverse.

The centerpiece of the aft

deck is its entertainment console,

with wet-bar, sink, cutting board,

locker with two shelves, 110-

voltage (perfect for a blender), and

huge stowage bin. A U-Line

icemaker is optional, as is the

hardtop, although Silverton says

the hardtop will be standard next

year. Theres easy access from the

aft deck up to the flying bridge or

down into the cabin, but you will

need to supply your own lounge

furniture.

From the aft deck, its three

steps up to the flying bridge/lounge

area, one of the most conversationfriendly

locations Ive seen. The

helmsman and companion sit

behind te center helm console,

theres an angled jump to port, and

a four-person benchseat forward

faces back towards the helm. The area seats seven and anyone

can get up and leave without disturbing anyone else.

As for the console itself, its vertical face makes it easy to

read and reach everything. An angled wing panel (11 inches

wide by 18 inches high) can hold an array of electronics, and a

deep stowage box next to the helm seat is available for

personal items. Its also easy to get behind the helm to access

wiringjust remove a panel and four screws. Instead of

individual gauges, two compact, multifunction VDO

instruments free up more room for electronics.

Visibility at the helm is excellent, thanks to its lofty position

and tinted window in the hardtop that lets you watch your

stern when backing into a slip. (As one boat-show shopper told

me, Hey, this windows great! Now at least I can see the dock

before I hit it...)

If you see something on the foredeck that needs quick

attention, its easy to reach, too, thanks to twin molded

stairways that lead down from the helm. Guarded by 22-high

handrails, the side decks are wide (11 inches), and theres

good nonskid and a toekick all around. My only objection: no

scuppers for the side-deck drainage, just cuts in the toerail, so

water must drain overboard and then down the hull sides,

producing stains.

The foredeck has a huge rope-chain locker thats big enough

to hold an optional, hidden Simpson-Lawrence windlass that

can be controlled from here (with foot

switches) or from the helm.

Once the anchors down and its time to

relax, the 352 is ready to accommodate.

The main saloon has a faux-leather

convertible sofa that sleeps two; even

though it folds out into the room, you

sleep fore to aft on it, so it doesnt block

the passageway to the aft stateroom.

Forward, a fixed dinette table and lounge

sit across from the condo-sized galley to

starboard. Here youll find the works

including an Norcold refrigerator/freezer,

two-burner Princess range, Goldstar

microwave oven, molded sink and even a

drop-in trash bin in the Corian-trimmed

countertop. Theres also a large pantry

(16 inches wide by 20 inches deep) that

combines with other deep stowage

compartments to hold a variety of

nonperishable items.

Fully forward is a guest stateroom with

solid sliding door, double berth, and two

large illuminated hanging lockers (one

has its own shoe rack). The berth is

angled, which explains how the Silverton

designers got most of the 392s features

into a hull thats two feet shorter.

Theres another space-saving idea in

the forward head. The toilet is within the

shower stall (which has bifold glass

doors), and while this may seem a little

weird at first, the design appears perfectly

functional.

Speaking of functional, if youre

looking for en suite facilities, check out

the aft head. Here, the enclosed shower

stall is separate from the toilet and vanity,

and the head offers 63 headroom and a

space-saving sliding door. Elsewhere in

the cabin, the double berth access on

three sides; a huge, lit, cedar hanging

locker; recessed reading lights; and

convenient touches like light and airconditioning

controls right next to the

berth.

You can reach the engine compartment

beneath the saloon sole by removing

three carpeted panels. The process is a

little cumbersome, but the compartment

is well laid out and heavily insulated, and

that helped generate the quiet sound

readings shown in the test table.

The Crusader 454 XLi V-8s inside

provided good acceleration, but the 352

will not set any speed records. Then

again, she wasnt designed to. On test day

our boat moved smoothly through twofoot

chop and topped out at about 30

mph. At an optimum cruise of 3500 rpm,

she can run for more than eight hours

before refueling.

Top speed: 31.6 mph.

Weight: 20,809 lbs. (dry)

Fuel capacity: 286 gal.

Water capacity: 100 gal.
