Boating Partners : Sylvan Marine
Because we share the same standards
About Us
It all started with the enthusiastic love the Smoker family has for boats and the water. In 1961, the first Smoker Craft boat rolled off the line marking the beginning of a boat building tradition -- a tradition of quality and craftsmanship that can be achieved only through the pride and attention to detail that a family-owned company can provide. Three generations and over 45 years later, we continue to produce solidly built, top quality boats under the Sylvan brand. We invite you to experience the pride of ownership that comes with owning a Sylvan pontoon or fishing boat - and share in a time honored family tradition.
Aluminum
The small aluminum boat with an Evinrude outboard. For as long as most of us can remember, it's been THE bread and butter fishing package. And it's never been taken more seriously than right now. The outboards may be small, but the technology is anything but.
- The perfect trolling engine.
- Factory-set at industry-low 500 rpm. Minimal noise and vibration.
- No smoking.

No real winterizing in the North. Fog and re-fog it anytime so you can go fishing any time. No more sitting and waiting for spring.

Pontoon
It's all about peace and quiet. And every once in a while, some serious power. Evinrude E-TEC gives you the whole package. The perfect on-board atmosphere. And all the power you need to pull a skier or beat the other guy to the rockbar across the lake.

- Two-stroke technology combines with direct injection for consistent power and acceleration and instant throttle response. Great for performance pontoons and pulling skiers.
- Quiet idle.
- With virtually no vibration. A combination of advanced cowling, sound-dampening materials, tuned exhaust and intakes, and superior combustion. Nothing to compete with Frank on the stereo.
