I have an older Sylvan boat. 1986 or 87. I don't know what model it is. The battery box serves as the driver seat pedestal. When I got the title the BMV called it a backtroller but it doesn't look like that at all. GEDC0034.JPG

do you have a question on the boat? is this a new to you boat, if so, why is the picture dated 3.7 years ago?

the information on the boat year, etc is on the paperwork you have.

I have had this boat for 5 years now and have never known the real name of it. They called it a Backtroller on the title but from all the pictures I've seen of a Backtroller, my boat is not that. I would just like to know what it is?

I have a 1985 Sylvan Pro Fisherman and yours looks very close to mine if not identical. It looks like the drivers base was added as I have a pedestal there. My battery is at the rear near the outboard.
Interior carpet replaced and rod storage on the side changed a bit.
Model number is on your capacity plate next to the driver.
