SilverHook Raceboats

The SilverHook brand has been a global endeavor ever since Michael Silfverberg and Nigel Hook made the decision to build an all-out, 100% raceboat. Based on their previous experience with their pleasure-boat-turned-raceboat, the duo chose the Mannerfelt Design Team to design their race-only boat under the SilverHook brand. They chose a builder well renowned for building world-class race boats, Mystic Powerboats, and chose Sterling Class 1 engines and BPM surface drives.

The team of Hook, Silfverberg, Mannerfelt, and Cosker along with the team sponsors and contributors to the SilverHook project pulled off the feat of taking a brand new design from creation on a computer CAD program, to cutting plugs with 5-Axis machines, to forming the molds, to building the hull and deck, and testing. The effort included the Mannerfelt Design Team, Livorsi Marine Inc., Custom Marine Inc., Mastercraft Safety, Latham Marine, Hering Performance Propellers, and Sterling Performance Engines.
