Silver Star 26/32
Designed by Dudley Dix
The Silver Star 26 and 32 are fiberglass excursion boats and houseboats by Dudley Dix, commissioned for sheltered dams, lakes and rivers, chiefly game-watching trips. The 26 is 25 ft 7 in (7.8 m) on deck and 27 ft 5 in overall with a 9 ft beam, and carries 26 people; the 32 carries 35. Each has a roofed main deck with galley, toilet and helm, a sundeck above and a low-wake hull. A family houseboat layout was drawn on the same 26 ft hull.
These were designed for a production builder working from moulds, and the page does not describe one-off or amateur construction. As a general rule of thumb, a fiberglass boat of this size takes 2,000 hours or more. Measured medians from build logs appear below.
What building a Silver Star 26/32 actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
