Silverton vs Carver
"sciman" wrote in message ink.net...
I am trying to narrow down my search for a boat with the primary use as a place to stay at a local lake for weekends, etc. Maybe in a 5 to 10 years take the boat to the ICW. Right now I am looking at the Silverton 39 and the Carver 396. New or nearly new (2001 and up). Both aft cabin cruisers which is very desirable for our way of living. Any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks I currently own a Carver. I spent a fair amount of time comparing both manufacturers at the Chicago Boat Show this January. I have to admit that I was more impressed with the Silverton than the Carver. I just felt like the Silverton was a more boater-freindly craft. The ergonomics, mechanical access, and style of the Silvertons seemed to be a degree or so higher than on the Carvers. I can't say that I saw a big difference from a quality standpoint. They are both good-to-better production-built boats. They are both nice boats and will provide good service and excellent value. Go with whichever one fits your style. We should all have to make such stressful choices! Coff |
