2005 Silverton 43 Sport Bridge

Great Loop Veteran: 2005 Silverton 43’ Sport Bridge

 

Proven, turn-key, and ready for her next adventure. This 2005 Silverton 43’ Sport Bridge has already completed America’s Great Loop, proving herself as a reliable, spacious, and highly capable long-range cruiser. If you are looking for a yacht that has been thoroughly tested, meticulously maintained, and perfectly set up for extended live-aboard cruising, your search ends here.

 

Vessel Overview

 

The Silverton 43’ Sport Bridge is legendary for its innovative layout, offering the interior volume of a much larger motor yacht while maintaining the sleek lines and excellent visibility of a sport bridge. With a wide beam, an incredibly spacious salon, and Silverton's signature "SideWalk" molded steps for safe, easy access to the bow, this boat is uniquely suited for couples and families alike. With less than 1,100 hours on her Volvo main engines and a recently competed 1,000 service she has the vast majority of her cruising miles yet to be charted,

 

Why This Boat is Perfect for weekends, extended cruising and the Loop.

• Bridge Clearance Approved: Already vetted for the low bridges of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal and the Erie Canal.
• Turn-Key Loop Equipment: Outfitted with the necessary ground tackle, navigation electronics, and safety gear required for the diverse waterways of the Loop.
• Proven Reliability: Her systems have been continuously run, monitored, and optimized—the exact opposite of a boat that has sat idle in a marina.
• Power when needed: She can be run at low RPM conserving fuel and when needed pushed up to planning speeds to out run a pending storm and/or to arrive at your destination before sunlight fades to nighttime.
• Straight shaft Volvo power: No pods, 480hp, Bow & Stern thrusters, Kohler Gen Set with 430 hours.
