Today, the Sylvan brand is part of the Smoker Craft Family…” with manufacturing facilities in New Paris, Indiana. For 2013, Sylvan offers an incredible thirty models of pontoon boats from nineteen to twenty-seven feet in four series from the luxuriously appointed Mandalay series through the Signature to the more basic Mirage Cruise series to the versatile Mirage Fish series. The Mirage Cruise 8522 LZ at 23’10” long on a full 8’6” beam is the second largest in this series and offers basic but very comfortable cruising amenities and is rated for a maximum carrying capacity of twelve persons or 2200 pounds. As with all Sylvan pontoon boats, it is constructed, in Sylvan’s words, with “Exclusive Cross Channel Construction features heavy-duty hat channels double through-bolted to the deck risers. Deck and Floor features 3/4" 7-ply pressure-treated plywood through-bolted and screwed to the hat channels. Lifetime limited warranty. Spacers between the fence bottom and the deck allow water to drain easily and cut drying time in half. Fencing is foam-backed to prevent rattling and reinforced for added strength. Gate construction offers the safety of pinch-proof protectors and Posi-Lock® latches. Stainless steel safety rails are used exclusively for increased strength and reliability. Powder coated railings provide a clean look and feel.” This particular model comes standard with two, .080” gauge round pontoon “tubes.” Depending upon your cruising needs in terms of normal loading capacity, rough water boating, or speed requirements for watersports, etc, you may wish to upgrade to a third centre tube, add lifting strakes to those tubes, or go all the way with Sylvan’s Revolutionary Planing Technology (RPT) tube design with Vshaped tubes which, in Sylvan’s words, provide “increased top speed per horsepower and dramatically improved fuel efficiency.” The addition of a third tube raises the maximum horsepower rating from 150 to 200. As with all Sylvan, Starcraft, and Smoker Craft boats in the family, its boats come with a limited lifetime warranty on hull and structure plus a 6-year warranty on all components, carpet, upholstery, and electronics. All parts and labour are included in this warranty and it is transferrable to a second owner. Sylvan refers to this particular model as a “Sunbathers Delight.” “Lounge your days away on the water in the Mirage Cruise 8522 LZ. You and your friends can enjoy those days under the sun relaxing in one of four beautiful premium loungers or jump on out and use the convenient rear entry ladder to enjoy your favorite sports on the water.” And let there be no doubt that virtually every bit of floor space is dedicated to seating. It has two facing loungers in the bow section, a complete wrap-around U-shaped lounge in the stern section with a removable centre section to accommodate a centre rear gate leading to the aft deck. Amidships are the starboard side driver’s consoles and swivel helm chair with slider and armrests and a similar passenger chair opposite on the port side immediately behind the side entry gate. A bow entry gate separates the two bow lounges. The beauty of this Mirage Cruise 8522 LZ is that it comes equipped with the basic standard necessities, but you can then option it up to your heart’s content with only those particular items you want from a very long and complete list of possibilities. Let’s explore that list. On the floor, 22-oz. sculptured carpet is standard or you can opt for 28-oz. carpet or vinyl flooring with or without snap-in carpet. A custom molded helm console with windscreen and basic gauges are standard and you can add a full complement of gauges such as speedometer, volt meter, trim, depth gauges and hydraulic steering too. Stereo and docking lights are standard and add underwater, under deck, and floor lighting. A change room is standard and add the porta potti. Tables with two floor bases are standard; add a second table and floor base. Bimini tops are standard and add a full complement of canvas options. Rear entry boarding ladders is standard, but choose to add a swim platform or you may even choose a The Sylvan Mirage 8522 comes in two different versions, with only slight changes to the layout differentiating between the CR and LZ versions. Our time onboard the LZ version showed her to be a comfortable boat in brisk chop and forgiving in sloppy conditions generated by 20 mph winds. It is not often we test boats in winds that high but with her Revolutionary Planing Technology (RPT) tubes we stayed comfortable and dry at speed.Key FeaturesCustom molded consoleFuel gaugeTachometerWindscreenAll aluminum transom with lifetime warranty22 oz sculptured carpet3/4" plywood deck with lifetime warrantyHelm chair with swivel, slide and armrestsLounge arm change roomAM/FM stereo with auxiliary port for MP3 player8'6'' Bimini topSpecificationsSylvan Mirage 8522 LZ (2013-) SpecificationsLength Overall23' 10'' 7.26 mDry Weight2,295 lbs. 1,041 kgBeam8' 6'' 2.59 mTested WeightN/ADraftN/AFuel Cap30 gal. 114 LDeadrise/TransomN/AWater CapnoneMax HeadroomopenBridge ClearanceN/APrices, features, designs, and equipment are subject to change.

Power1 x 150-hp Evinrude E-TEC 150 Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ (2013-) Captain's Report By Capt. Steve-- Mission Statement The mission of the Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ is to provide a comfortable and luxurious pontoon boat at a cost-efficient price point. She's offered in two versions, with slight modifications to the seating layout differentiating between the two. With her RPT toon design she gets on plane fast which should appeal to watersports enthusiasts. The Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ. The Sylvan Mirage is an open and inviting boat with a comfortable layout. Distinguishing Features • Four Admiral’s Chairs. These chairs are as comfortable as can be because they swivel and even recline. The armrests are self leveling. Some boats have one or two, but we rarely see four. • Painted Fencing. We typically see panels that are fixed with decals to add highlights. These are actually painted and offered in a choice of four colors. • All Aluminum Transom. This is a departure from the extended pressure-treated wood platforms, mostly covered in carpet, that we normally see. • Standard Docking Lights. There are few things in boating more restful than a sunset cruise on an inland lake in the summer. And its nice to see the approaching dock when coming home. • RPT Tubes. Sylvan calls this Revolutionary Planing Technology and it not only offers quicker times to plane, but the Mirage gets up on plane from a level attitude. The tubes also have a 20-degree deadrise to a hard chine on both sides of the toon, much like a deep-V monohull or the pontoons on a sea planes, which usually have a 24-degree deadrise. • 6-Year Warranty. Sylvan offers a 6-year warranty on all components from stem to stern. Its toons and marine plywood deck are warranted for a lifetime and are transferrable to a second owner, according to the company. Even on our choppy test day, the Mirage manages to keep the spray down low providing a dry ride. Tube Construction Pontoon construction is moving more and more into an advanced area providing boats with more sportboat-like characteristics. The design team at Sylvan call their design RPT for Revolutionary Planing Technology and they seem to have an interesting, and effective take on how it's done. The tubes are 25” (63.5 cm) across with flat sides. The bottom takes on the contour of a V-hull sportboat with flat chines and, what could accurately be described as a 20-degree deadrise bottom. There's even a keel at the bottom to aid in tracking. The bottoms of the tubes are reminiscent of a V-hull boat, complete with chines and keel. The engine mounting pod is even more characteristic of a boat hull with a vertical stem and sharp entry and a bottom that gets lower as the design moves aft. There are even two planing fins with beveled outer edges mounted to the sides. Lifting strakes are added to the front of the tubes. The pod unit that the engine is mounted to has a descending keel, lifting wings and a sharp entry. There is nothing on the market quite like it. The tubes are two piece with a single seam down the center. Tubes are mounted to the deck with “M” brackets for solid support. The corners of the deck are protected with a stainless guard to absorb impact against the dock. Each has non-skid for boarding as well. Performance The Sylvan Mirage 8522 LZ has a LOA of 23'10" (7.26 m) and a beam of 8'6" (2.59 m). With an empty weight of 2,295 lbs.(1,041 kg), 30 gallons (113.6 L) of fuel, two people and test power on board we had a test weight of 3,313 lbs. (1,503 kg). With a 150-hp Evinrude E-TEC turning a 15 5/8 x 13" SSP prop we reached a top speed of 5650 rpm of 34.9 mph. At that speed fuel burn was 15.7 gph giving us a range of 60 miles. She doesn't really have a best planing speed so users can determine for themselves whether they want to go far or fast. With that said, I found her to be most comfortable at 3500 rpm and 20.5 mph. That produced a fuel burn of 6.3 gph which the Sylvan Mirage could keep up for 4 hours and 18 min. and 88 miles. Hole-Shot Wizard. Thanks to the RPT tubes and her 2-stroke Evinrude E-TEC power we reached planing speed in only 2.6 seconds, accelerated through 20 mph in 3.4 seconds and 30 mph in 6.2 seconds. These are remarkable times for what is essentially a twin-toon boat. Handling The 8522 LZ seems to come up on plane from a level attitude thanks to the wings mounted from the sides of the extended engine pod. Engine trim seems to have little to no effect as I noticed no difference in the spray coming from the sides of the boat or in the speed as we cruised along the lake. We put her through a fairly punishing test amid chop generated by 20 mile-an-hour winds. Testing in these kinds of conditions can bring out the worst in a pontoon boat. They can hobby horse or drench the passengers aboard. Happily, the Mirage 8522 performed well. The ride was surprisingly dry and while we did experience some hard bumps, it was nothing more than what was to be expected when running nearly 35 mph into consecutive speed bumps in the face of 20-mph winds. (The apparent wind was 55 mph.) With the two tubes being spaced well apart, I did notice some flexing of the foredeck, but again nothing more than expected on a twin-tube design. When turning I noticed that she tends to lean to the outside of the turns roughly 4 ½- degrees. This is the nature of virtually all twin-toon pontoon boats, and the Mirage 8522 LZ is no exception. FYI -- catamaran powerboats do the same thing, and it is just the nature of the design. The Comfort Factor. As noted above, the RPT hulls are not round, but rather have a 20-degree deadrise. Just as in monohulls, where a 20 to 24-degree deadrise is molded into the bottom to make the boat more comfortable at high speed in a wicked chop, so, too, does the Mirage 8522 LZ have a 20-degree deadrise in each of its toons for the same reason. And while I have no gauge to measure it, the seat of pants tells me that this boat was more comfortable barreling through the chop than conventional twin toons. For years we have tried getting video on all sorts of boats in choppy conditions, but the camera is all over the place and no one could watch the video, nor would it mean anything. That's why we shoot in flat water, as we did for this test in the lee of a peninsula. When it comes to ride, readers will just have to take my word for it. While this may look like a turn to starboard it is actually a turn to port and it shows how the Sylvan Mirage has a slight lean to the outboard side of the turn. This is something virtually all twin toons do. Here’s another view of the outboard turning characteristic. This was shot during a turn to starboard. Features Walkthrough Forward Deck A boarding gate at the bow leads to roomy bow seating that features three admiral’s chairs to the port side and a wraparound lounge to the starboard side just ahead of the helm. One of the two pedestal bases for the single standard pedestal table is mounted in the center of the foredeck. All seating is as comfortable as I've ever felt on any pontoon boat and the admiral’s chairs swivel and recline. An insulated cooler with drink holders lies between the two forward seats. It’s hard to picture a more welcoming gathering area in the bow of the Sylvan Mirage. Stainless steel speaker grills and drink holders are nestled into the seatback. Storage is under the seats and under the chaise seatback ensuring that all usable space has a purpose. Helm The helm of the Sylvan Mirage is an excellent example of elegant simplicity. The console is a beige tone to reduce glare and faux wood panels are recessed into tan vinyl. White-faced gauges with chrome bezels are to either side of the leather wrapped three-spoke wheel. A door to the side of the helm console allows access to the storage beneath. Directly across the helm is a portside boarding gate. The helm is in close proximity to both the fore and aft gathering areas keeping the captain in the center of the conversation. The faux wood panels have a classy look and white gauges with chrome bezels provide an eye-catching contrast. Always with pontoon boats the control is at nearly a 45-degree angle... even here, when a separate mounting point is molded into the console. The lower panel curves around the inside of the console and Sylvan created an MP3 holder next to the jack and 12V power outlet. Stern The stern of our test boat featured wraparound seating with three of the seats having drink holders embedded into the seatbacks. The seats to both sides also had stainless steel grilles mounted to the speakers. The forward ends of the seats are 2’ 4 ½” (.71m) across and the seats themselves are 3'5" (1.05 m) across. The corner seats had a battery to one side and a steering pump underneath the cushion to the other side. The remaining seats all have the usual accommodations for storage underneath. Yet another admiral’s chair lies across from the helm allowing the same vantage point that the captain enjoys. The center stern seat is removable allowing access to the aft boarding gate. Notice the optional teak-grain vinyl decking. The reboarding ladder is to starboard and the hinge point is nearly at the water level. The center-aft seat is removable allowing access to the stern gate and the swim platform. The seat can also be relocated to the bow to increase the seating in that area. The swim platform on our test boat was covered with the optional teak grain vinyl flooring. A reboarding ladder was secured to the starboard side but with its hinge point being so low to the water I found it difficult to retract from the deployed position. The Bimini support is made from BB square channel and the all-around nav light is mounted to the top. Observations My overall impression of the Sylvan Mirage is that she presents a very comfortable and functional entertaining platform with versatile seating that is among the most comfortable on any pontoon boat I have ever tested. By putting four admiral's seats on the Mirage 8522, everyone can be a grand pooh bah at least for some of the cruise. Don't snicker -- it's a great feeling and guests will love it. Her handling characteristics and hole shot times also make her an excellent watersports platform so feel free to bring the kids along on the next waterborne adventure. With a time to plane even oldsters will be able to get up on skis without much trouble. And that, together with her comfortable ride are this boat's strong suits. For those looking for even faster WOT speeds we suggest consideration of one of Sylvan's tri-toon hulls. Tri-toons are generally faster than twin toons. The Mirage 8522 is somewhat in the middle because of its centerline RPT engine pod that undoubtedly aids her time to plane and top speed of 34.9 mph top speed.

Please contact me for a great quote.This beautiful Baja 242 Islander is a 1 owner boat that has been garage kept since day one. Never lift kept or sat in the water overnight. Only 275 hours on the boat with 175 hours of those hours at idle: per the mercruiser engine analyzer. The other 100 hours were at 2500-3000rpm. This boat has never been beat based on the mercruiser computer analysis. The boat has no scratches in the hull and the 4 color gelcoat shines! The vinyl upholstery is in excellent condition and is still soft and supple. The stereo has upgraded amp and speakers and has crystal clear sound at any volume.

Buy this boat now and have a great boat for this fall and years to come.Here is a review from Boating magazine:EngineThe engine compartment is beneath the sunpad; it has an electric hatch and comes with dedicated lighting. Opening it you’ll find the 320 hp MerCruiser® MX 6.2L/320 HP/Bravo I standard engine that can be changed with the optional: the 374 hp MerCruiser® 496 Magnum/375 HP/Bravo I engine.The 242’s canes with standard four-color in-gel graphics let you make your own statement, and onlookers will do wicked double takes. The True-V hull and standard bolster seats keep the ride smooth even when the water’s rough, and when is time to get wet, an extended platform with walkway makes water access a kid’s play. InteriorThe walk-through of the Baja 242 Islander is on the port side providing space to have a love seat with a wraparound seat and a chase lounge. This is the best seat because two people can stretch out and soak up the sun or enjoy the ride while blasting about the lake. There are plenty of cup holders up here and lots of storage too. A small table is available for the bow, as is a filler cushion that converts the bow into a big sun pad. The 242 Islander has standard bolster seats to envelop you in safety and comfort, no matter how rough the water. You’ll find a filler cushion that converts the bow into a sunpad. The port gunwale has a carpeted locker for wakeboards or other water toys. There’s a massive amount of storage for skis and water sport equipment space under the sunpad sections, in the extra-large consoles, under the seats, and within the in-floor locker. The 242 Islander has a roomy cockpit. Drop bottom bolster seats are at the helm, while an aft bench makes up the seating in the rear. Traffic flows nicely from the wide swim platform to the cockpit even if somebody stops to use the freshwater shower on the swim platform. Moving aft, you will transition through the offset wraparound windshield.The helm console conceals a changing room with a bench and optional Porta Potti. The helm layout is like all the other Baja’s, functional and easy to use. Faria gauges and Kiekhaefer controls are complimented by the custom steering wheel. To port, is the companion seat with access to the upgraded Clarion CD stereo and a large glove box. The high-performance helm is not merely a “sporty” bowrider driving station. Large Livorsi gauges stare at you from within the carbon-fiber dash, which matches the Isotta R-Evo racing wheel. Completing the performance setup is the Livorsi control binnacles and Lenco HD electric trim tabs with Christmas tree light position indicators. It’s exceedingly comfortable, and as you swing your feet onto the deck and switch to the outboard backrest of the V-seat, you also find it ergonomically correct and a filler cushion that fits into place when the entire crew. Test DriveThe V-bottom hull and end-grain balsa construction provides a solid, comfortable ride and an ultra-smooth ride in the rough stuff. It’s easy to drive at any speed and carves turns with alacrity. For those who want to take advantage of the standard ski tow, putting the tabs down gets you on plane much faster, allowing you to pull skiers with ease.At speed, the Islander crested 2-foot chop with style and comfort. At the top speed of 69 mph, you’ll have to duck below the windshield. The attitude this boat exudes comes through in its 24-degree deadrise hull. Crisp helm commands were rewarded by crisp response. ConclusionThe Baja 242 Islander is perfect for any day out on the water.

Underneath, a 22-degree Extended V-Plane bottom design is bold enough for big water, yet tame enough for weekends on the river. Inside, a double-wide adjustable helm seat complements wrap-around aft seating. This cruiser-style seating is an extra, not usually found on a cuddy cabin sportboat of this size.Loaded with amenities Hydraulic Trim and Tilt, plus a convenient Power engine Hatch (brand NEW).

Plenty of concealed storage compartmentsOnly 54 hours on a brand new 496 Merc engine ($15,000) and NEW Bravo 3 out drive with stainless steel Twin prop($9,300) That was fitted close to 2 years ago and only used for last season. This year we have only used it for 3 days $24,000 worth of receipts on new engine and out drive AloneRecently had some extra things added. 4 new batteries. ($759) (1 for start, 2 for house and one spare) LED swim lights ($1600) New Sea pump ($898), New fuel pumps ($890) New tensioner pulleys and serpentine belt ($350) New Ignition system and waterproof fuses ($650) Engine hatch hydraulic lift ($850) There is ZERO corrosion anywhere in the electrical system as I had a boat electrician go through the boat when we first got it and clean and replace pretty well everything and seal it ($1100). Most of the list of things above were done purely for prevention rather than replacement. There is roughly the asking price in upgradesPowerboat Magazine named Chaparral 285 SSi a Boat of the Year winner for good reason - it combines offshore performance with cruiser comforts and Chaparral quality. She has been VERY well maintained (as you can see and with receipts) No expense has been spared when it comes to maintaining our boat and it is TURN KEY ready for a new owner. NADA list price is $72,832, Low end value $37,285, Average Value $42,055. We believe we have priced it accordingly. The Chaparral 285SSI does not come up for sale very often as they are a very popular boat and when they do, they don't last long on the marketThis is a great family boat / party boat / all weekend boat. It can sleep 4 people comfortably, seat 12 on deck, 14 in total. Deck can transform into a large lounge/sundeck or a large family dining table. On the bow you can safely sunbake as well as on the rear seat or rear swim deck so its perfect for the ladies chasing that summer tan. As big as the boat is, it can still sit comfortable in 3-4 feet of water so its perfect for pulling up to islands and beachesA 2004 custom triple axle Aluminium trailer with new LED lights comes with the boat for FREE.
