Our current pontoon has served us well over the last 6 years and we've loved it - but the opportunity arose where we could afford an upgrade, so a deposit has been placed on a new boat.
The old one is a 2013 Sylvan Mirage 8520 Cruise LE with a Merc 50 on the back. There have been times when I've wished for more power and there have been a few times when we've wanted more room as everyone seems to gravitate towards our boat for the comfy seats
And it got snapped up for full asking price within 10 mins of placing an advert online......

The replacement will also be a Sylvan as we've had no issues and think they're very good value for money. This one will be a Mirage Cruise 8522 DLZ, so 2 ft longer and with a double bench/rear lounger configuration at the back. Power will be a Yamaha VF150 and there will be 3 tubes with strakes.
This one looks like it has a bit more attitude - but I could only get a teaser photo for now. Pick up is next month.

I want to see more, but it looks like a really beautiful boat. Congratulations!
