Location: Rockford Il 61108 | Im not to famaliar with fish-n-ski style or Sylvan, but i did look it up. It looks like a descent boat with plenty of room. If the price is right go for it. I will recomend you to go to the max rated hp. If price is a problem then go to the 150hp. Ive been in many underrated hp boats and there is nothing worse than a boat that takes ten seconds to plane.
PS this boat looks like it will keep the little miss happy also |

Location: Chagrin Falls, Ohio | You might also want to look at the Lunds, like the 17' Angler. It's a really nice boat that fishes way bigger than it is. I had one for a while (then called the Mr. Pike), and it was great to fish out of. Of course I think it's going to be a bit more expensive, but they are built like tanks. Good fishin, Tyler |
