Re: Best Non-SeaCraft VDH Line of Boats-SilverHawk
The scoop is the same all over the boat market. 0 sales = boats built. Silverhawk is refining their shop and molds waiting for the market to pick up. The owners are fishing the 30 in a few touraments and pushing to sell boats. Most of the major lenders are putting the brakes on floor planning so its hard for the dealers to buy boats.
The 30 is differant in the beam then Moesly/Potter 27. The 30 is a stretched 27. They added 2 feet just aft of the console. Its a real pretty boat and is very quick with the twin 300 Merc's on the back. The hull is extactly the same as 23. the bracket is the same shape as the hull just with less return on the back to help handle the weight and power.
All in all its a really nice boat. Plans for a jack shaft diesel and cutty version are still in the works, just need to sell a few boats...
They are working a few small boat projects and the work looks great. They redo a few boats a year to help keep the guys in the shop around.
