Default worst boat at the show

had the cutest salewoman. Boat was a 55 Ovation, a non-boating buddy talked me into looking at it. The helm station turned into the dining room table, poor forward visibility. Where I expected a flybridge there were 2 chaise lounges instead. layout was chopped up, the freezers were not in the galley. But the girl showing us the boat was HOT!!

I was on the boat. It is actually amazing with some very innovative features, including the powered flip helm. It is a lower station only European style boat with an upper lounge with docking station and a giant power skylight.. It is not for everybody, but if you don't boat with 12 people onboard, you will find it very spacious and very stylish.

This might explain the boat better. If you need me to explain the girl, you're on the wrong site.

and the powered flip helm just doesn't seem like it belongs on a boat; maybe in Europe...

Its a Silverton that they are so ashamed of there name they come up with a new name.

Carver did the same with Marquis but compare the 50 Marquis and 52 Ovation the only positive for Ovation/Silverton is IPS.

That boat is cheap cheap cheap. Had a factory (silverton)rep tour me on one at a boat show last year.
