Largest boat in the Silverton fleet when she was introduced in 1990, the 46 Motor Yacht combined conservative styling and roomy accommodations in a feature-rich, low-cost package—a lot of boat for the money. Like many Silvertons of her era, the 46 rides on a solid fiberglass hull with a wide beam and a moderate 17 degrees of transom deadrise. The interior of the Silverton 46 is traditional with staterooms fore and aft and the galley and dinette down. The salon isn’t large for a 46-footer, but it is very open and includes a convertible L-shaped sofa to port. The second guest cabin has a foldaway berth that converts to a lounge. Storage is abundant throughout. (Note that the engine room, accessed via hatches in the salon sole, is very spacious.) Topside, the aft deck came with a hardtop, an entertainment center and wet bar, and the large flybridge is arranged with bench seating aft of the helm. Additional features include foredeck seating, radar arch, washer/dryer combo, wide side decks, bow pulpit, and a bathtub in the owner’s head. Standard 485hp 6-71s cruise the Silverton 46 MY at 22 knots (mid 20s top).
