I recently purchased this 1993 15' Sylvan Pro-Yukon. I can't find that specific model anywhere, including the Smokercraft and Sylvan websites. The capacity label says Smokercraft. It's a beefy boat with a factory floor, side console and built-in 12 gallon gas tank. I'd sure like to see the specs for it, at least the weight. There might be an equivalent Smoker-badged model.
The motor is a Merc 40hp ELPTO, 4 cylinder. It started and ran but I haven't had a chance to run it in the can. The power tilt/trim is disconnected and I don't know what is going on with the mechanism. Looking at the manual, it seems complicated. The oil injection has also been disconnected so it runs on pre-mix. If/when I switch to a 4 stroke I'll have the fun of cleaning out the tank.
I have not had it on the water yet. The trailer is totally rusted out so I'm in the market for a "new" one.
I'm also in the market for a 4 stroke Plan B motor (aka kicker). Since for me, the Plan B part is more important than the kicker part, what would be the biggest reasonable motor?
More surprises to follow, I'm sure. Used boats = pig in a poke.
I know, I'm always asking for info. Maybe one of these days I'll know enough to return the favor.
