Banger68 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) I finally picked up the new boat Sat. Waited about a month for a couple things, but it was worth the wait. Boy was I wired for the drive up Sat morning. Took it it out on Lake Simcoe for a test run. Fun having a boat with a bit of get-up-and-go. Lot more boat then my past ones. Hope to get it out this week for some Perch and see how it fishes. Edited June 7, 2010 by Banger68
irishfield Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 VERY nice! Like that high ski rope hook up. Remember nobody stands when pulling someone.. being up there if the rope recoils it will go over everyone's head!
dave524 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Sweet, I ran a 18 foot Sylvan, much the same hull but a centre console layout all ovet the west end of Lake Ontario and the eastern end of Erie for 20 years without a spec of problems with the hull. The 115 should be good I only had the last year Johnson made a 85hp V4 and was satisfied, had riggers and a kicker instead of the tow bar and ladder, but then again I was still single then
lew Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 I always enjoy the posts when someone buys a new boat !! Congrats on the new ride, that's a real beaut and should serve you well for a long time. My bro-in-law has had a Sylvan for many years and has always been very happy with it.
Grimace Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) Nice looking rig. I remember the day I picked up my new boat. It made the top ten of the best days of my life. Edited June 7, 2010 by Grimace
walleyemen Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 Nice rig! You'll be greatful you opted for the extra h.p, to many boats are purchased under power, now get out there and get fishing!!!!

But I hope to get riggers on it next year.
Dara Posted June 8, 2010 Report Posted June 8, 2010 Sweet. I got a new Sylvan last year...they are nice boats
Banger68 Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Nice looking rig. I remember the day I picked up my new boat. It made the top ten of the best days of my life. I was pretty pumped. Even the guys at the marina commented on how excited I was. I was a big kid ... what can I say. Edited June 8, 2010 by Banger68

You'll be greatful you opted for the extra h.p, to many boats are purchased under power, now get out there and get fishing!!!! I definitely wanted to avoid being underpowered. Then they came out with the 125 Optimax based on the same block just after I ordered it. Planning to do a little Perch fishing tomorrow. Edited June 8, 2010 by Banger68
