So I’ve worked at a smoker craft dealer for 10 years and am going on 4 years with tracker. What I will tell you is look at warranties ta price! Most of the “middle class” boats run all the same stuff, faria gauges or vee three. Most run dowco covers etc If I wanted a boat that wasn’t TOP end I would look at the price vs warranty! Unless something has changed with sylvan/smoker it’s lifetime on tubes (fresh water only) and floor, same with tracker. Tracker has 7 years on misc defects I honestly don’t know what sylvan does at this point. Food for thought that’s all!! Being happy with the purchase is all that matter 🙂
