silvertons...interesting boats....well suited for cruising around on,they're not really designed to be fishing boats,the ride will be a little sporty...

hey hughgoose, my questionable comment was not concerning how well those chryslers run it is the GPH in gas that they would be burning at speed. If you can afford to run it good on you- it would break my bank quick. I have fished in that same size silverton several years ago and it does ride somewhat harsh. I agree that its more of a cruising the intracoastal type of boat than it is a offshore /ocean boat. craig
