sylvan offshore w/bracket

[hawkeye625]

Still searching for a larger aluminum boat and found a 1997 23ft sylvan with an outboard bracket. I can't find another to compare it to and can't seem to find much information on this model. Really liked the extra room in the boat with no dog house, but a little concerned that I can't find another. Anyone have one of these? It seems a good bit deeper than the 21 ft and seems like it has alot more room.

Any input is greatly appreciated.

I owned a 1990 Sylvan Offshore for seven years. The 23 first came out in 1996 or 1997, it had the deeper V and was 8 1/2 feet wide. They were discontinued in 2002, although in 2003, there were still 3 bare hulls left at the plant. I don't think there are many I/O's around, and very few outboards. It would likely handle like the 22 Starcraft Islander bracket O/B and I know there are some of those around. With the motor out back, there is obviously a lot of room inside.
