Overview
Originally purchased new by the owner's father, "Irish Mist" has been in
the family from the beginning. The log book goes back to 1983! First
entry "20 gallons fuel at $1.50/gallon, May 1983." Since then she's
been constantly cared for and updated by the family. The front air
conditioner has been replaced, she has a recent dual voltage
refrigerator, new bridge seating and upholstery, new temperature, fuel,
and tachometer gauges, good canvas & glass, new dinette cushions,
new vberth cushions with memory foam toppers sewn in, a new memory foam
mattress in the master stateroom, and new vinyl flooring throughout.
The two original teak salon chairs have been reupholstered and are
available to the new owner if desired. The engines have been converted
to electronic ignition and she's had a full spring tuneup for the
season. Plus all the original engine and genset manuals are on the
boat. Very handy for quick reference. She's roomy, efficient and ready
to roam. Easy to see at The Chesapeake Yacht Club in Shady Side,
Maryland.
Powerboat Guide Says
Introduced in 1982, the 40 Aft Cabin was Silverton's first double cabin
design. She turned out to be a sales success for Silverton, and her
popularity was due in large part to her roomy accommodations and an
affordable price. She was built on a solid fiberglass hull with a
relatively wide 14-foot beam and a shallow keel for directional
stability. Her two-stateroom interior is arranged with the galley and
dinette down, separated from the salon by serving counters. This is a
fairly roomy layout for a 40-footer with wraparound windows providing
plenty of natural lighting. Both heads are fitted with shower stalls,
and light oak interior woodwork replaced the original teak joinery
beginning with the 1985 models. There's room for several pieces of deck
furniture on the full-width aft deck, and the flybridge is arranged with
guest seating aft of the helm. Note that the two-piece entryway door
from the aft deck into the cabin is somewhat difficult to negotiate.
Additional features include a teak-and-holly galley sole, full- size
refrigerator, integral bow pulpit, and a swim platform. Standard 350hp
gas engines cruise the Silverton 40 Aft Cabin at a respectable 16 knots
and deliver a top speed of 24 to 25 knots.
