Maximum Volume, Zero Compromise: The 1998 Silverton 351
Let's be real-if you're looking for genuine livability and massive square footage in a 35-foot LOA, this is the layout that completely changes the game.
The 1998 Silverton 351 isn't just a weekend cruiser; it's a floating waterfront apartment with incredible bones and serious retro-modern potential. Thanks to Silverton's genius "SideWalk" design, the salon is pushed all the way out to the gunwales. The result? A massive, sun-drenched interior that feels like a 40-footer. It's a bright, open blank canvas just waiting for your personal styling and a few well-placed plants.
The Setup:

The Hosting Space: Forget tiny, cramped cabins. The salon is built for entertaining, with massive windows and a galley that actually gives you the counter space to prep a real meal or set up a cocktail station.

The Accommodations: This is a single-stateroom layout, which is the secret to getting all that massive living space upstairs. The stateroom is located in the bow (front of the boat) features a walk-around island berth, actual hanging locker storage, and enough headroom to stand up and get dressed. The real luxury, though, is the head: it features a fully separate stall shower. That means no more wiping down the entire bathroom every time you rinse off. (Need space for extra guests? The convertible dinette handles overflow sleeping duties effortlessly).

The Top Deck: The flybridge isn't just a helm station; it's the best patio on the dock. There is plenty of room for your whole crew to comfortably hang out, catch the breeze, and enjoy the view. Plus, the molded fiberglass steps (no terrifying ladders here) make moving around the boat safe and effortless.
Powered by bulletproof, dependable twin Crusader inboards, she's ready to reliably run the coast or just serve as your ultimate weekend escape at the marina.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your weekend routine, find an affordable liveaboard, or just secure the best entertaining platform on the dock, this Silverton 351 delivers the volume and comfort that modern boaters actually want.
