This spring Silver expands its fiberglass range with a new model. At the Helsinki Vene 25 Båt -boat show in February 2025, a new version of the series’ flagship model, the more than eight-meter-long Raptor DC, will be unveiled. Due to its new sport top the new Silver Raptor ST offers even more shelter, catering to both families and large groups of friends. It is designed especially for weekend trips and leisurely boating excursions. The Raptor ST delivers high-class comfort, excellent drivability, and modern design – all in one package.
The Raptor Sport Top features a fixed roof structure complemented by a large, electrically operated openable fabric roof. The fixed roof structure includes integrated spotlights, providing a pleasant, lounge-like ambiance in the boat’s seating area. The roof significantly enhances the boat’s usability, allowing for an enjoyable experience regardless of the weather.
The sleek windshield design extends far along the boat’s sides, ensuring optimal visibility in all directions, while simultaneously offering excellent protection in all conditions. The wind shields of the Raptor ST model are slightly higher, and the cabin floor by the galley has been lowered. These alternations ensure that there is ample standing height even when the fabric roof is closed.
Additionally, the boat’s standard equipment includes a stern canopy and canopy windows for the top part of the side windows, allowing the entire cockpit to be enclosed when needed – for instance during overnight stays on board. The canopy and canopy windows are easy to attach, open and detach.
Raptor ST is Silver’s version of a weekend cruiser. It sleeps four adults, has i.e. a comfortable social space in the open stern with a spacious and plush U-shaped sofa, a galley equipped with agas stove, sink and counter space, as well as a fully enclosed toilet in the front cabin. A dual battery system ensures reliable power supply. The boat also offers plenty of storage space, allowing luggage and other essentials to be neatly stowed away while spending quality time on the water with family or friends. The boat comes well-equipped as standard, but a wide range of optional accessories allows for easy customization to meet individual needs.
The sport top -equipped Raptor ST offers a driving experience that is both enjoyable and impressive. Thanks to the unique Petestep® hull, the boat moves quietly on the water and remains dry from sea sprays while being consistent and stable to steer. The transom accommodates Honda’s new V8 BF350 outboard engine, ensuring a safe yet exhilarating ride to your destination.
The new Silver Raptor ST will make its world premiere at the Helsinki Vene 25 Båt -boat show on February 7–16, 2025, in stand 6h48. In the same stand three other Silver novelties will also be showcased: Silver Condor Cabin, Silver Hawk BRX and Silver Hawk SCX. Learn more about the other Silver novelties here.
