QR Code Link to This Post
Location: 23061 (VA Registered – No Liens)
Asking: $5,500 (Open to Offers)
This Silverton 29 is the ultimate restoration or liveaboard candidate. We are selling a structurally sound, dry hull that requires the next owner to handle mechanical and minor cosmetic updates. It is priced for an immediate sale to a mechanically inclined buyer.
✅ Why This Is an Excellent Project Foundation
Confirmed Structural Integrity: Hull is clean, straight, and currently stored on the hard for easy inspection.
DRY Bilge: Photos confirm the bilge is clean and dry—a rare find on an older boat and the best sign of a healthy hull/deck joint.
Solid Fiberglass: No soft spots, good rails, and intact windows/headliner. The difficult (and expensive) structural work is already done.
Clean Title: VA Registered, no liens.
⚠️ The Project Scope (Reflected in Price)
Engines: Twin Crusader inboards (~190 hp each) with HIGH HOURS (8,312). The boat is priced to account for an eventual full repower or rebuild. This is the primary reason for the low asking price.
Note: Recent maintenance includes newer cooling/exhaust hoses, clamps, and battery replacement.
Cosmetic: Needs helm electronics/controls refresh and general updating of older systems. The cabin sole and head are functional.
