ezmobee and rickairmedic asked me to post some pics of my
sylvan since they're basically the same as a supersport.

So far all i've done is replace the transom with some 3/4'' 7 ply coated x3 with
gluvit. I plan on using it to do the floors this winter. I predrilled all the holes in the transom and coated with gluvit before installing the transom. I was in a hurry to get the boat out on the water so the splaswell and drain tubes
just got healthy doses of 5200 sealant, not the prettiest but it works. I have a 1977 mercury 85hp mounted that puhes it 36-37mph. I expect I can get around 39-40mph after I get it set up properly and remove the added weight of the foam, as i'm sure its water logged considering the boats leaks about 2
gallons over 5-6hrs on the water. It's got a few loose rivits and one broken
at the very back of the hull. The paint looks ok from 10-20ft away but it's
got bubbles and large runs in it and it's chipping off in several places. The original floor is rotten so the PO put 3/4 ply over it and covered it with house
carpet. So it's got alot of work needed.

Nice boat. I've got an '84 18' Sportsman. Mine is also going to need some wood work before long, but I think I'll get another couple of seasons before I really dive into it.
