    1988 Sylvan Offshore 22'

    Re: 1988 Sylvan Offshore 22' Funny how the boat was so pretty on the inside , I instantly knew the floor was soft the moment I stepped in it , but the rails and panels never even gave me a hint they were soft.

    Re: 1988 Sylvan Offshore 22' Looks like the water leak in the cuddy was because somebody mounted something crudely , just shot screws through the dash etc... Should be no problem sealing it up dry. The foam between the ceiling panels was soaked in the areas of the screws , and the foam was...
