2000 Silverton 351 Sedan Cruiser

With the introduction of the 351 Sedan (called the 35 Convertible
in 2001–03), Silverton engineers introduced a dramatically 
different approach to the design of the modern family cruiser. 
All manufacturers recognize the appeal of a roomy interior, but 
Silverton made it happen with the introduction of their “SideWalk” 
concept, a series of molded steps on the starboard side of the boat 
leading from the foredeck up to the flybridge and then down again 
to the cockpit. The result of this clever design is a spacious full width salon with the floor space of a much larger boat. Built on a 
modified-V hull with prop pockets, the engines are located beneath 
the cockpit rather than under the salon which allows the cabin floor 
to sit low in the hull. Lacking side decks, the interior is huge and 
the apartment-sized galley will be a real crowd-pleaser, but with 
only a single stateroom these expansive living areas come as no 
great surprise. A pair of glass sliding doors open to a spacious 
cockpit with transom door. Topside, the flybridge is arranged with 
a walkaround center helm with passenger seating forward. A very 
popular boat, 320hp V-drive gas engines cruise the Silverton 351 
at 14–16 knots.
