Go Anywhere. Safely. Comfortably. Hike Metal 55 Pilothouse. Original Owner

Built to cross oceans and reach the world’s most remote anchorages, Silver Bullet is a rare aluminum pilothouse yacht that delivers true expedition capability without sacrificing comfort. Designed by Mike Scolfield (American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) naval architect/engineer known for updating yacht construction standards) and constructed by the renowned Hike Metal Industries shipyard, she combines commercial‑grade strength with a warm, beautifully finished interior — a serious blue water cruiser for sailors who want to go anywhere with confidence.

Aluminum expedition‑grade construction with reinforced zones
Four watertight compartments for exceptional offshore safety and peace of mind
Hydraulic lifting keel (10’ down / 6’6” up) for offshore performance and shallower water access
Protected pilothouse helm station with full visibility, gimballed helm seat and pilot berth to ensure your comfort - even in wet conditions
Extensive sail inventory for all conditions

Purpose‑built for long‑range passagemaking, Silver Bullet features a robust aluminum hull, Hall Spars rig, carbon spinnaker pole, many sails including storm jib and spinnakers. Her systems are equally expedition‑ready: Yanmar 100 hp engine, Yanmar genset, Aqua Marine watermaker, Espar hydronic heat, wind and water generators, solar panel, ultrasonic antifouling, and a full suite of Simrad, Raymarine, B&G and SSB communications.

Below deck, the handcrafted cherry‑and‑ash interior offers two double berths, two single berths, another dedicated pilothouse watch berth, two heads and a functional, comfortable layout ideal for extended living aboard. With her lifting keel, protected helm, and ocean‑ready systems, Silver Bullet is a versatile yacht equally suited for high‑latitude exploration, tropical cruising, or a full circumnavigation. Other highlights;

Capac hull monitor (real time display of hull continuity/scacrificial zinc protection & performance)
Untrasonic Marine hull anti-fouling system (operates on 12v DC or 110 AC)
Primus wind generator
Watts at Sea cruising electric generator (water impellor driven)
Solar panel
Chartplotters/two (pilothouse and cockpit)
Simrad AIS
B&G Radar and dedicated display
Raymarine wind, speed and depth
Simrad Autopilot with Whitlock torsion bar steering
SSB radio with Proctor modem & antenna tuner
Espar Hydronic Heater
Hull insulated with Rubitek 1/2" insulation
Aqua Marine watermaker
Yanmar 4JH-TNE 100 hp auxiliary
Yanmar 15 hp generator
