Our Thoughts

The 2007 Silverton 45 Convertible "Nauti Pops" represents a well-maintained example of this proven sedan convertible sport fisherman platform, offering the three-stateroom, two-head layout and capable diesel propulsion that appeal to serious cruising and fishing enthusiasts alike.

Propulsion & Performance

The electronic engine controls with digital synchronizer and 607-gallon fuel capacity support extended offshore range. A 13 kW diesel generator with sound shield (766 hours on the meter) backs the onboard electrical systems, while a bow thruster aids maneuvering in confined waters.

Flybridge & Cockpit Design

The tournament-style flybridge is accessed via a molded stairwell—a practical upgrade over traditional ladders for regular bridge use. The flybridge hardtop with three-sided EZ2CY enclosure provides weather protection, with dedicated helm air conditioning and heat, captain and companion bolster seats, and a refrigerator for extended time on station. Below, the expansive cockpit features a custom Anglers Specialties bait tank, wet bar with refrigerator and ice-maker, hot and cold transom shower, and direct engine room access. The transom door and swim platform provide convenient boarding and water access.

Electronics & Navigation

The Garmin electronics suite includes an E120 multifunction display, GPS chart plotter, fish finder, auto pilot, and compass. A Ray Marine digital depth finder and VHF radio complete the navigation package. All electronics are flush-mounted into the bridge dash for a clean, integrated appearance.

Interior & Accommodations

The salon features a galley-up layout with cherry wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, and an Amtico hardwood galley floor. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, three-burner electric stove, and micro/convection oven support full-time cruising. The salon is appointed with ultra leather sofas in light beige fabric, a 26-inch flat screen TV/DVD, and a Bose 3-2-1 surround sound system. Three-zone air conditioning and heating, interior LED lighting, central vacuum, and a washer/dryer combination provide comfort and convenience.

Belowdecks, the master stateroom features a queen berth in the bow with an ensuite head and shower. The VIP stateroom offers a queen berth, while the third cabin provides twin beds. The VIP and third cabin share a dedicated head and shower. All three staterooms include 15-inch flat screen TVs with DVD players.

Fishing & Deck Features

The boat is rigged for sport fishing with flush-mount rod holders, a rocket launcher rod storage system, and a tackle box. Non-skid decks, extended bow rails to the cockpit, extended side rails, trim tabs, and underwater blue LED lights complete the working deck. A windlass with helm and bow control switches, 50/250 Cablemaster, and external strainers support ground tackle management. Fresh water and salt water wash downs are available throughout.

Systems & Mechanical

A 20-gallon hot water heater, Vacuflush sanitation system with overboard and dockside discharge options, and raw water washdown system support extended cruising. The engine room provides standing room and fluorescent lighting for maintenance access.

2007 Silverton 45 Convertible: Three-Stateroom Sedan Sportfisher with Tournament-Grade Flybridge and Volvo Diesel Power
The 2007 Silverton 45 Convertible represents a mature, well-equipped sedan sportfisher designed for serious offshore fishing combined with comfortable extended-range cruising and family accommodation. Built during Silverton's peak production years, the 45 Convertible platform delivers the operational flexibility of a convertible sportfish layout—with full flybridge command station, spacious cockpit, and integrated fishing systems—paired with the livability of a three-stateroom, two-head cabin configuration. This example, named "Nauti Pops," demonstrates the breed's appeal: a vessel capable of running offshore tournaments from a modern helm, deploying serious fishing gear, and returning to a comfortable salon and full-service galley for entertaining or extended cruising.
Overview and Vessel Category
The Silverton 45 Convertible occupies a distinct position in the 40-to-50-foot sportfish market. Unlike center consoles or open boats that prioritize cockpit space and shallow draft, the 45 Convertible trades some deck real estate for enclosed accommodations, a full galley, climate control, and the ability to undertake multi-day offshore passages without crew fatigue. The convertible designation refers to the folding or removable hardtop enclosure on the flybridge—in this case, a three-sided EZ2CY system—allowing the captain to operate in open-air conditions when desired while maintaining weather protection during transit or rough conditions. At 45 feet in length with a 15-foot beam, the Silverton 45 offers sufficient volume for three separate staterooms, two independent heads with showers, and a galley-up salon layout that functions as both a social hub and dining area. The vessel's draft and cruising characteristics—22 knots at cruise, 26 knots at wide-open throttle—position it as a capable blue-water platform without the extreme fuel consumption of comparable gasoline-powered sportfishers of the same era.
Power, Propulsion, and Fuel Efficiency
Nauti Pops is powered by twin Volvo D9 500-horsepower fully electronic diesel engines, representing the diesel-electric propulsion standard for long-range cruising yachts and offshore fishing vessels of this size. Diesel power delivers several operational advantages over gasoline: superior fuel economy across the RPM range, lower operating temperatures, extended service intervals, and a more stable power curve suited to variable sea conditions. The electronic engine management system includes digital synchronizer technology, ensuring both engines operate in precise harmony, reducing vibration and improving steering response. With a fuel capacity of 607 gallons distributed across dual tanks, the 45 Convertible achieves extended range at cruise speeds, supporting multi-day offshore fishing trips or coastal cruising itineraries without frequent refueling. The twin-diesel configuration also provides redundancy: if one engine requires maintenance or develops a fault, the vessel can continue under single-engine power at reduced speed, a critical safety margin for offshore operations. The vessel includes a 13-kilowatt diesel generator with sound shield, providing independent electrical power for air conditioning, heating, galley appliances, and entertainment systems while at anchor or docked. Generator hours are logged at 766 hours, indicating moderate use and suggesting the unit has not been subject to extended continuous operation. Bow thruster capability—standard on convertibles of this class—enhances docking and close-quarters maneuvering, particularly valuable when operating in confined marinas or approaching shallow anchorages.
Helm, Electronics, and Navigation Systems
The flybridge helm represents the command center for offshore fishing and cruising operations. The 45 Convertible's tournament-style flybridge features a hardtop with three-sided EZ2CY enclosure, providing weather protection while maintaining sightlines to the water and sky. Molded stairwell access (not a ladder) from the cockpit to the flybridge improves safety and accessibility during rough-water transitions. Captain and companion helm bolster seats with air conditioning and heat create a comfortable operating environment during extended offshore runs. Nauti Pops has been equipped with new Garmin electronics flush-mounted into the flybridge dash, a significant upgrade that modernizes the vessel's navigation and fishing capability. The Garmin E120 multifunction display serves as the primary navigation and fish-finding interface, integrating GPS positioning, chart plotter functionality, and sonar returns into a single 12-inch touchscreen. The dedicated Garmin fish finder provides high-frequency and low-frequency sonar options for detecting structure, thermoclines, and baitfish at various depths and distances from the hull. Supporting systems include Garmin autopilot, enabling hands-free navigation during long transits and reducing crew fatigue on overnight passages; Garmin GPS chartplotter with detailed coastal and offshore mapping; VHF radio for marine communication and weather broadcasts; Ray Marine digital depth finder for supplementary soundings; and a magnetic compass for traditional navigation reference. Underwater LED blue lights enhance night operations and contribute to the vessel's aesthetic appeal when at anchor or docked.
Cockpit Design and Fishing Systems
The cockpit is described as "huge," reflecting Silverton's design philosophy of maximizing working deck space for fishing operations. A custom Anglers Specialties built-in bait tank maintains live baitfish at optimal temperature and oxygen levels, supporting live-bait fishing techniques for species such as yellowtail, barracuda, and striped marlin. The bait system is integrated into the cockpit structure, reducing clutter and improving ergonomics compared to portable bait wells. Fishing gear storage includes a rocket launcher rod storage system mounted above the cockpit structure, accommodating multiple rigged rods in organized, accessible positions. Flush-mount rod holders distributed around the cockpit perimeter allow anglers to deploy multiple lines for trolling or live-bait presentations. A tackle box storage system provides secure, organized storage for lures, hooks, leaders, and other terminal tackle. Non-skid decking throughout the cockpit minimizes slip hazards during active fishing or rough-water conditions. Transom access is managed through a dedicated transom door with extended rails running from the side rails to the cockpit, providing safe passage to the swim platform and engine room access hatch. Hot and cold transom shower capability allows crew to rinse salt water and fish blood from gear and clothing without entering the cabin. The cockpit wet bar includes a refrigerator and ice-maker, supporting extended fishing trips and entertaining guests while anchored.
Cabin Accommodations and Interior Design
Below the salon, three separate staterooms provide sleeping accommodations for family cruising or fishing crew. The master stateroom features a queen berth positioned in the bow, offering a private ensuite head with shower—a critical amenity for extended offshore operations or family cruising. The VIP (very important person) stateroom includes a second queen berth, sharing a head and shower with the third stateroom, which is equipped with twin beds. This configuration accommodates six to eight persons comfortably, with sleeping arrangements suitable for couples, families, or fishing crews. The salon functions as the primary living and entertaining space, featuring ultra-leather sofas upholstered in light beige fabric that emphasize a contemporary aesthetic. Cherry wood cabinetry and Corian countertops provide a sophisticated, durable interior finish. A 26-inch flat-screen television with DVD player serves as the salon entertainment center, while individual 15-inch flat-screen televisions in each stateroom allow crew to relax independently. The Bose 3-2-1 surround sound system delivers high-fidelity audio throughout the salon and cabin spaces. Climate control is managed through three-zone air conditioning and heating systems, allowing independent temperature control in the flybridge helm station, salon, and cabin areas. This zoning approach accommodates different preferences and reduces energy consumption by conditioning only occupied spaces. Central vacuum system with multiple wall-mounted outlets facilitates housekeeping throughout the vessel, and an integrated washer and dryer support extended cruising and family living without requiring dock-side laundry facilities.
Galley and Food Service
The galley is positioned forward of the salon on the port side, following a galley-up layout that places food preparation and storage at a slightly higher elevation than the salon seating area. All-electric cooking equipment includes a three-burner electric stove and micro-convection oven, eliminating propane storage and combustion hazards while providing reliable, controllable heat for meal preparation. A Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer system maintains food storage at precise temperatures, and an ice-maker in the cockpit wet bar provides ice for beverages and fish preservation. An Amtico hardwood galley floor provides durable, easy-to-clean food service surfaces, and abundant storage throughout the galley ensures that extended cruising provisions can be organized and accessed efficiently.
