Sylvan and Smokercraft are the same boat. The have different names for their models,kinda like GMC and Chevy. I've had a Smokercraft 15' Alaskan split seat since 97' and really like it. I fish the sound more than I do lakes,and it's held up really well. I'm looking at a bit bigger boat,and will probably get another aluminum,and probably another SC.

My brother has the same boat as I do,but his is an 85'. It leaks alot,but has never been anywhere other than the sound,and has really been abused. When I say alot,there will be 2-3 gallons in the bottom after a day of fishing.

I take way better care of my boat and it doesn't leak a drop.

Good Luck in yur search.
