Fisher boats?? Good/bad/ugly? Opinions

[liv2fish]

Hey guys. Can anyone chime in on sylvan brand boats? Ive done some searching and cant find much for good or bad reviews unlike others where you get one or the other. Any info appreciated

Fished with a buddy in his was not overly impressed. I did not like the steadiness of it when the winds kicked up. My feeling was I would not care to be at the far end of Minnewonka when the winds start.

Some of the Sylvan models are good, others not so much. There is a lot of variance in their aluminum hull thickness between models. If you can find one of their models with the 0.100 or 0.125 bottom and 0.080 sides those are ones to look at.
They use midlevel (not top) quality latches, hinges and hardware so they can produce the boats cheaper.

I have been running a Sylvan for the last 8 years and have no complaints. The riveted hull has yet to leak a drop and I have been pretty rough with it (airborne in some bigger waves on occasion).

I owned a Lund prior to buying the Sylvan and the Sylvan hull has been just as good if not better. I may have just gotten a good one - but my experience has been positive.

Thanks for the replies. Im having issues finding specs on the models. The one in question is late 90s pro select. Any idea where i can get more info?

They Sylvan web site should have a history section showing brochures from days gone by. Should go back to late 90\s

I tried that already and they only go back to 2000 unfortunately
