Three steps down and you are on the large open cockpit perfect for fishing, or lounging. A second three steps down puts you at the interior level with a very comfortable aft state room with a queen size bunk, built in cupboards and night stand to port. There is access to the front end of the engines through the aft bulkhead. There is a large port opening to the cockpit. Down the passage way is the modern head with a electronic marine head, sink and shower. Along the starboard side is a galley, with a long counter workspace, built in AC/Alcohol cook top, AC/DC refrigerator. To port is a dinette seating area that pulls down into a double bunk. Forward is a second berthing area with a raised berth.The unusual combination of an aft stateroom, large open cockpit, and three steps up to the command bridge make this a very comfortable boat with excellent living space on deck. Wide side decks give easy access to the foredeck.There are 1600 hours on the Starboard Engine and 875 Hours on the rebuilt Port Engine. Engines are mounted under the cockpit with easy access through large deck hatches. This Silverton 29 Sport Cruiser is a nice, comfortable, family cruiser with an emphasis on the on deck living area and comfortable private living and sleeping areas below decks, perfect for a couple of adults or family with children. Clear Title included.
NOTE:
The two engines run well. The Starboard transmission cooler needs to be replaced (approx. $150). The transmission cooler went bad and let sea water into the transmission. So, the starboard transmission must be rebuilt or replaced. The transmission unbolts from the engine and is not hard to replace. Total cost of transmission and cooler is approx $1200 plus labor (unless you do it yourself).
