The long wait of getting back on the water is finally over…although, with how bad the weather has been in New England this spring and early summer, we don’t fell like I missed out on much.
After selling my 350 EC last September, it took us a while (and a few surveys) to find what we were looking for. I picked her up in Freeport, Long Island on Monday and made the 9 hour maiden voyage to my home port in Rhode Island.
She’s a 2002 Silverton 410 Sport Bridge. At 35,000 lbs, she is a load, but the CAT diesels pushed her effortlessly.
Even though I sold my Rinker, I still come to this forum every day. And like so many others who have stayed, I plan on remaining part of this family.
Now the fun begins…learning a new boat, crawling in every hole, and finding things that make you say wtf!

Dream 'Inn III -- 2008 400 Express
CAT 3126, 420 HP each
Cruised 8 hours up the Atlantic at 2300 RPM at about 16 knots. Never touched the throttles. Just effortless. I was in awe, totally blown away by those babies. Burned about 30 gps roughly, I’ll know more when I spend $1K to fill her up and see how many gallons I actually burned on the trip.
Does she have the front and rear thrusters? Looks like a tank to dock.
