On a scale of 1 to 10 how good of a boat!!!

[22WRF]

Always been a super good boat.1-10 I give it 9.5

If I understand correctly Smokercraft now also owns both Starcraft and Sylvan, both of which are also good boats.RCS

They're a "10" in my book!

Forget the rubber ducky. 2 ?
10 ! The Lund is a 10 also, but weight is important to me. The lighter weight has many benefits. I cant tell the differance between my 1995 SmokerCraft Pro Mag and the 1995 Sylvan 16 foot. ( or 14 for that matter of that year). Mine is Powered my a EFI 4cyl Oil injected Mercury.

As far as my Smokercraft Ultima is concerned the boat has been great. Excellent materials and the build quality is above average.
I'd buy another which I think is the best endorsement.

Rank = 9

Sylvan is part of the Smokercraft family but I cannot find any proof Starcraft is. Unless Starcraft was recently purchased by the Smokercraft group?

If someone can post some info on the Starcraft question I'd be interested in reading it.

In my opinion, the Smoker Craft boats are a 10. I'm on my third one. Great boat for the money; excellent value for your dollar. Sturdy, durable, not too many frills but less to go wrong too!

I own a 1988 Smokercraft Offshore. Moored at Ilwaco Washington and used in the ocean every year for the past 10 years. Go over the Columbia bar (graveyard of the pacific). Great ocean boat, has never let me down and I've been some pretty rough seas with it. Good quality, tightly built boat that out handles most in the rough water. Better to slide over the top of waves and rollers than plow through. I would buy another but this one still has a lot of life left in it.

Can't say enough good things about my 171 millentia. great quality, great price,and the manufacturer is always touching base with me for feedback.
Have also owned lunds and have no complaints, just better known brand name.
Very satisfied

Just FYI, Smokercraft, Sylvan, Starcraft, Vectra, Northwood, Monark, American Angler, and a few others are all brands owned by a Family in the northern Indiana area named Schrock. The original founder Mr. Authur Schrock started this legacy with the Starcraft brand in 1903 as Star boats. All of these companies are still ran today by the grandchildren and great grandchildren of Mr. Schrock. None of the companies actually own the other, they are all sister companies owned by the extended Schrock Family, so in a sense are the same company.

So then what is the relationship to Brunswick?

I have a 1999 162 Pro Mag it is the same as a 2009 model. It has been a 10 in my book since I bought it new. Low dsrt Jon
