anybody seen it?

here's the deal.
i'm looking for a 28' fiberglass hull.
single screw inboard.
for CHEAP money. like under 3 grand and preferably somewhat close to boston.
running. siezed motor.rotted out deck.. whatever...
i looked at a 1972 26' silverton that needs a refit top to botom but if i'm gunna do this i want a 28 footer. gotta have plenty of cabin room for the family. stand up head etc...

i'm gunna build it myself

i could care less what condition the cabin is in. the deck whatever all i want is a solid glass 28 foot hull.
someone's gotta have it somewhear.

something like a 1970's 28 foot silverton/luhrs/pheonix type flybrige {reason is, i want the second steering station for later use}.
my plan is to cut the flybrige off and turn it into a downeast type. single screw, fuel injected gas inboard. the way I want it.

anybody seen it ?

Sorry - a little higher than what you want but very rare (and not all that close):

hit the want ad,boat trader etc.
you have more energy than me Mike.
I thought the best kind of boat was a friends' boat :hihi:

Mike,
you need to be more selective. Make sure you get a hull that will do what you want it to. Most silverton's won't. If it has twin stay with twins, odds are it won't get out of its own way with a single. If you want a downeast, with the full keel that's what you have to buy, not some cheap, shallow V planing hull. You can't make a downeast out of a planing hull and visa-versa, so make up your mind first. There are plenty of downeast workboats around if that's what you want.

tired of boat whoring?



I knew you'd have to get another boat someday. I'll keep on the lookout for ya :eyes:

Theres an old 40 something foot egg harbor in Gloucester for like 14k. Needs total restoration but beautiful lines.

There is a old mid 70's, either a luhrs or silverton, at Scalises in Weymouth. Also check out Univeristy of Rhoad Island dontated boats.

i don't want a full keel
gotta be a planing hull.
i had a 28' silverton flybrige 1972 that did 18 knots with a single 360 chrysler.
thats about the platform i want to start with.
gotta have that nice big cabin and that huge deck with atleast 10 foot beam.
bye downeast style i mean i'll turn the cabin into a downeast style. drive from inside. put the second station out on the deck.
i've re-decked about four boats now so it's no biggie.
plus i need something to do next winter
