Sylvan’s 8522 Party Fish pontoon gives you the best of both worlds and blends luxury with functionality. Known for their excellent pontoon and known for their fishing machines, the 8522 wraps both into one. With countless options to choose from, the only limitation is your imagination. Whether you choose a two toon or tri toon layout, the performance of both is in a class of its own.
This toon is built for handling and performance when you are playing. Working or fishing, this baby will get you to the fishing hole quickly and effortlessly with the optional Performance Shield tubes. The layout of the Sylvan 8522 is perfect. Two plush forward seats that face each other and adorn either side of the bow provide plenty of comfort.The mid ship couch on the port side offers a chaise lounge built in with comfortable seating for two adults.
To the stern, the oversized captain / fishing chairs have movable arm rests, a head rest and it reclines. The rear live well can double as an ice chest / cooler when you are out on the water. All of the seat bases are rotocast with built in drain channels, so your gear stays dry and you never have to worry about wood rot.
The stainless steel bimini can be deployed quickly and effortlessly by one person. The swim platform to the rear is easily accessed through the starboard side gate. The fix mounted stainless steel swim ladder with four steps allows you to quickly access the water. The permanently mounted ski pylon that surrounds the motor is robust and easy to affix your ski tow line.
The sea weave floor is easy to clean and won’t burn the feet. The Babitto underdeck lighting adds to the ambiance in the evening and the lighted cup holders bring the interior to a whole new level when the sun goes down. It is these standard options that result in Sylvan’s popularity.
This versatile, family-fishing machine has you covered. This pontoon by Sylvan comes loaded with standard features that other brands charge extra for and has the space and comfortability to keep you on that hot bite all day long.
This Sylvan pontoon is a great choice for the water. Add this one to your list and then go see it. You will not be disappointed.
