Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Silverton 36 Convertible 2009 vs Silverton Yachts Motor Yacht 1996 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Silverton 36 Convertible 2009 vs Silverton Yachts Motor Yacht 1996 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 425 hp, the Silverton 36 Convertible 2009 has a 45-hp advantage over the Silverton Yachts Motor Yacht 1996's 380-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Silverton Yachts Motor Yacht 1996 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Silverton 36 Convertible 2009 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Silverton Yachts Motor Yacht 1996 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Silverton Yachts Motor Yacht 1996 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 41,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Silverton 36 Convertible 2009 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
