This 2000 Silverton 42 Convertible was purchased new and has been with the same owner since. She hasn’t been used in about a year, but she’s been professionally serviced by the same mechanic from day one, so the history is well documented. The house has been sold and the boat needs to be moved soon, so here’s your chance to grab a big convertible at a project-boat price.

Condition
This is a running project boat. Structurally solid, but she needs TLC, clean-up, and cosmetic attention inside and out. The donor is removing personal items before hand-off. With some elbow grease and a little money invested, she could be brought back to a very nice convertible.
