When it is completed, Trocki — who is a plastic surgeon in addition to being a boatbuilder — will have a weekend-long party for current and prospective dealers, as well as customers, which will take place at the factory, Egg Harbor Marina in Somers Point, N.J., to conduct sea trials, and wrapping up at his Longport, N.J., home. here
The sale of Silverton Marine Corp. and Ovation Yachts Corp. to Egg Harbor Yachts owner Ira Trocki is complete and the company is looking to expand its dealer network.
Trocki has hired about 20 workers from the former Silverton factory and plans to increase the number hired from the company as orders grow. Silverton and Ovation, which is owned by Silverton, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April, along with seven additional related companies.
“We want to make our family members and future family members very comfortable with us,” Trocki said. “We’re both very proud of what we build and of our family team, and we’re inviting other people to become part of our family.” more
“We feel that with the addition of the Silverton-Ovation line brings quality family and sport cruisers to our offerings, something we didn’t have in our mainly sportfishing boats and yachts,” Trocki said. “Our feeling is by bringing in dealers that hopefully can handle all our lines, when a customer wants to go up or down, he can do that with one dealer, or say he wants to do sideways . he can also do that.”
Built by first-class craftspeople, who treat each vessel as if they were making it for themselves. With this keen attention to the smallest detail, Egg Harbor has a time-honored reputation for building durable, reliable, and beautiful vessels that stand the test of time and wind-swept seas. They are the quintessential choice of the serious fisherman as well as the recreational boating enthusiast. [links]
Egg Harbor has always been a trusted and respected brand throughout time with world-class yachts from 35’ to 50’. The Egg Harbor Predator and Sports Yacht's signature aesthetic comes from world-renowned designer Michael Peters, known his focus of blending of art and science. The unique Egg Harbor 35' Predator Series is a head-turner. It is an incredibly sexy open Sports Fish yacht that's quick and agile, steady and smooth ride. here
Egg Harbor Yachts began with humble beginnings in 1946 with three entrepreneurial young men building 14’ rowboats. Ted Haggas was the designer living in Egg Harbor, N.J., the soon to be the namesake of the company. He was the designer of the then-popular Jersey Sea Skiff. Soon the team launched a 28' boat designed by Haggas under the new company name Egg Harbor Boat Company.
The company began to flourish bringing on more and more employees. The average wage back then, sixty-cents an hour. Since those early days, the company has had some hiccups, changing hands several times. Today the company is thriving under the banner Egg Harbor Group, selling the namesake brand as well as others.
Performance is unrivaled thanks in part to the newest compact, lightweight engines. An Egg Harbor is instantly recognizable by their streamlined, sensuous, and sleek hulls uniquely flared bow, solid glass bottom and keel. The smooth open water ride is also a dry one thanks to its raised sheer lines. Born in the North Atlantic, Egg Harbor is proud of their robust, beautiful, seaworthy, performance vessels. more
Egg Harbor vessels have elegant, large interiors with finely finished wood trim, built with only the best materials and luxurious finishes designed to take the punishment from the salty, humid conditions. Honed by experienced designers and skilled artisans from cabinetry and upholstery, fixtures and fittings are available with semi-custom color pallets for both aesthetic and comfort.

Mission Statement
"To preserve Egg Harbor's charm while enhancing its economic well-being by providing an enjoyable and welcoming environment, resulting in the long-term success of our community."
Her design is supported by stout construction with a solid-fiberglass bottom. Divinycell coring is used in the hull sides to add rigidity while keeping weight respectable. The 50 is listed at 56,000 pounds (full load, wet), which is comparable to several other similar vessels I've tested. Her solid nature and efficient hull design should help provide a comfortable ride in all but the most deteriorated conditions.
Unfortunately the sea state on test day was of little consequence for the 50. A light 10-mph easterly was putting just a one- to two-foot chop on the water, which the 50's bow pierced in fine fashion while her optional twin 1,000-hp Caterpillar C18s propelled her to a top average speed of 42 mph at 2270 rpm. At a 2000-rpm cruise, the 50 glided along at 37 mph. If you take into account her 1,050-gallon fuel capacity and a 78-gph fuel burn at cruise, she easily has the ability to fish the canyons with room to run elsewhere if the bite's off. How does a 446-mile range at cruise speed sound? here
In addition to an impressive turn of speed, I found that she maneuvered as smoothly as she accelerated (see acceleration curve). Credit that to her Teleflex hydraulic power-assist steering and Glendinning single-lever electronic controls, which have a well-defined but not excessive detent. Both the steering and controls are housed in an attractive optional Palm-Beach-style, high-gloss pod. Sightlines from the helm were great in all directions whether I was standing (I'm 5'7") or sitting at one of the teak-accented Murray Brothers helm chairs (Murray Brothers is owned by Egg Harbor).

Since taking over as president of Egg Harbor, Phil Boyd has remained committed to offering a boat which a buyer can design as he pleases. To say that the Golden Egg offers a wide range of interior configurations is an understatement. There's a radical forward stateroom lay-out fit for Hugh Hefner. One recent customer's concept called for blue suede headliners and track lighting.
The Golden Egg‘s “standard” list leaves little room for options. The saloon is equipped with AM/FM stereo, color TV, carpeting, convertible sofa, lined and pleated drapes and a wet bar with icemaker - all top quality. Master staterooms have full length mirrors, hanging lockers with mildew lights and five-inch foam mattresses. Heads have electric toilets, exhaust fans and stall showers. A microwave is standard galley gear. Four-zone reverse cycle air conditioning, Duplex service throughout, stainless steel shafts, cockpit lockers, teak cockpit sole and covering boards, tinted safety glass, hydraulic steering, solid mahogany bulkheads and cabinetry — these are basics.
