Sylvan 1700: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Sylvan 1700 Adventurer, Sylvan's top-selling model in 2006, is a versatile fishing boat designed to accommodate families while delivering reliable performance. It features a gull-wing performance hull that enhances control and helps the boat get on plane quickly. The design emphasizes strength and hull integrity, making it a dependable choice for anglers and recreational boaters alike.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The boat's exterior includes a spacious bow casting deck, notable for its generous size relative to the boat's overall length. The bow is equipped with a vinyl-lined peak locker and a bow light mounted low for easy visibility. On the port side, there is an 18-gallon livewell, while the starboard side offers a large dry locker for gear storage. The high-protective, fully framed, curved wrap-around windshield provides excellent shelter for the cockpit area. The gunwales are designed with a slight outboard angle to facilitate water runoff when the boat cover is attached, preventing water accumulation on top. Additionally, the seat bases are powder-coated on both sides to resist corrosion, and the cockpit floor features a snap-in carpet that simplifies cleaning and keeps feet cool.
Cockpit and Helm Features
The cockpit is spacious and configurable, offering five seat-base positions to arrange three seats comfortably. Between the helm and companion seat lies a large in-floor rod locker capable of protecting up to five rods. The helm itself is thoughtfully arranged with large gauges positioned in a brow above the tilt steering wheel for easy visibility. There is space allocated for an optional fish finder to the right of the helm. Additional features include an anti-feedback tilt steering system standard on the 1700 and a deep glove box with a simulated brushed aluminum door.
Power and Performance
This model is powered by a Honda 115-horsepower four-stroke engine, which incorporates programmed electronic fuel injection for smooth starts and responsive throttle control. The engine's sealed starter is well protected from environmental elements, and the motor electronics are mounted on top to ensure they remain dry and cool, enhancing reliability. The Honda engine is known for its quiet operation, allowing for an enjoyable onboard experience without excessive noise. The 1700 Adventurer measures 17 feet 1 inch in length overall, with a stable 91-inch beam and 90-inch stern width. It has an interior depth of 25 inches and an overall depth of 33 inches. Performance testing revealed that the boat handles precisely and performs best at around 3,500 RPM, cruising at 26.6 miles per hour with a range of 129 miles. Its top speed reaches 43.9 miles per hour at 5,660 RPM.
Fishing and Storage Features
The 1700 Adventurer is pre-wired for an optional Minn Kota PowerDrive 55 trolling motor, with a conveniently located main engine tilt switch nearby. The boat offers ample fishing amenities, including a large 18-gallon livewell positioned on the port side aft of the cockpit, and dry storage compartments for gear. Even with the casting chair in place, there is sufficient room to fish comfortably from the rear deck.
Conclusion
Sylvan has leveraged years of boatbuilding expertise to produce the 1700 Adventurer, a solid and value-oriented fishing boat that balances family-friendly space with practical angling features. Its durable construction, thoughtful layout, and dependable Honda powerplant make it a reliable and enjoyable vessel for both fishing excursions and recreational outings.
