    Sylvan/Starcraft

    I can't remember but I think some one on here said that Sylvans are a Starcraft, is this true? I found an 18' and it really looks like Starcraft. But the hull looks like it could be an offshore V series. I has a 100hp Evenrude boat motor and trailer are 1984.

    Etec

    Now I know this is the Starcraft forum, but really that is what this about. Last summer my brother said he wanted to upgrade his old try hull, (Big mistake telling me) he said he wanted something in the 18' or larger arera.

    Bildge vents

    What are your opinions on bildge vents? My Starcraft SS18 has them mounted on the sides, and I feel they are to close to the water and a large wave could send water into them.
