    Opinions - Tahoe and Sylvan bowriders

    What's everyone's impressions of early 2000s Tahoe boats and Sylvan bowriders of the same era (20' bowriders). They both look good and I can't find much feedback on them via internet. The Tahoe is lighter (by almost 1000 lbs) with a lower dead rise than the Sylvan (16 vs 21). I'm looking at...
