M/Y Moonbeam V — a 1993 Silverton 34 located in FORKED RIVER, New Jersey, for sale by broker. Responses to inquiries may come from a broker who is representing the owner as a fiduciary.
Moonbeam V is a well-cared-for, two-stateroom motor yacht. She is a capable cruiser with extremely well-documented service records. The current owner has spared no expense in maintaining and improving this vessel during his 17 years of ownership.
Moonbeam V was repowered in 2011 with Promar big blocks rated at 500 hp each. The engines have been well maintained and currently have approximately 600 hours. These engines can cruise at displacement speed burning 2 NM/gal or at a cruising speed of 26 mph burning 0.5 NM/gal. These unique engines can get you quickly to a bridge opening, a lock, or into port when weather arrives, or they can cruise gently and sip fuel.
Moonbeam V has many recent upgrades and is an incredible value for the cruiser looking for a liveaboard, a Great Loop boat, or for cruising your home waters.
