    You need to know what your transom height is. If it is 20 inch or long shaft for your main motor and there is room to mount the kicker on that same transom, you may be able to get away with a 15 inch kicker motor. I have a 19 Sea Nymph now and a 17 Starcraft before that, both with the 20 inch transom and mounted a standard shaft kicker on both. Send me a PM if you want to get into specifics.

    If there is a boat show in your area , go to it, it will give you ideas. In your price range with a little looking and some luck you probably can find yourself a decent 16 foot package and it will likely be aluminum. Some of the brands would be Crestliner, Lund, Sylvan, Smokecraft, Starcraft, Lowe, Tracker. A few of the older ones would be Sea Nymph, Grumman, Discovery.

    Thompsons are notorious for having stringers go bad. For most of the 80's and into the 90's, they were a company that was struggling financially so some corners were cut.

    Gets more and more difficult for the sponsors to get the bigger vendors that would fill the"other room" It was their first year, the venue is excellent, the parking is convenient and accessible etc, all things that help make a show. If they start now and get it in on the first round of calendars and vendors schedules when they are booking next year the main part of the event will fill in. LOTSA did a great job this year making the move.

    There are motors out there for sale, especially this time of year. It would be helpful to know what the budget is and where he is located.

    That is an outstanding deal. And a good deal on the trailer as well. Good luck with the customizing.

    As with any boat of that age, a survey should be done. That being said the Carvers 21-32 all were wide beam boats that packed a lot of room and features into them. And they are reasonably priced on the used market. Always was a quality line and the latest owner shifted to boats over 30 ft.

    New info 3/23/14 Humminbird 565 depthfinder goes with it, AM-FM stereo, 4 brand new tires to be mounted this week $300 value, worked on it to try to get it started, believe there is a solenoid issue as starter clicks off. believe bearings on trailer are all good, trailer lights work, ready to roll down the road. Price reduction to $1500 on 3/19/14 1979 Penn Yan 20 ft Tunnel Drive. Mercruiser V8 Inboard. Sitting on a 1990's roller shorelander trailer in good condition. This board sat since 09, I bought it in fall of 2011 as a project which I have not started and may never start so it is reluctantly for sale, but I need to pare down my inventory. Motor status is unknown, don't know if it fires or not, have not gotten beyond issue with key/starter. But straight inboards/tunnel drives are simple. Boat is in very good condition, couple chips near bow other than that in good shape. Penn Yan emblems on it etc. Windshield fine. Has a heavy wood swim platform and electric/hydraulic trim tabs. This boat has the Mercruiser V8 w/velvet drive, I have not determined the exact motor but Chevrolet V8's are listed on the Mercruiser chart for this year boat. I believe it has the 305-198 hp. Have registration for boat-registered to me, no registration on trailer needs to be registered as a homemade. Boat is all there, for someone looking for a Penn Yan to restore and drive around this summer or use as a fishing machine, this is your boat. Asking $1900.00 or reasonable offer. Late winter negotiable. Boat located in Dunkirk, NY Trailer is going to need tires which I may address once the weather breaks. Likewise I intend on tracking down issues which may prevent the motor from being fired up, line starter lines, battery cables, ignition etc.

    The history of Sylvan and Smokercraft is intertwined with StarCraft as those boats were built along with a number of other manufacturers by Mennonites in Northern Indiana. I owned a 22 Sylvan for 8 years, I would state that it is on par with StarCraft in terms of construction etc. They are a slight step down from a Lund or a Crestliner, but there are plenty of them around that give years of service.

    almost the identical boat to a Sylvan, only has a different name on it and some Sylvan's were not offered under the Smokercraft label, but produced at the same plant. More recently, Smokercraft, Sylvan and Starcraft are owned by the same company.

    Purchasing a couple drift socks is a lot less expensive than a kicker, I would think the 3.0 might be a little fast when you take it down all the way. I had a 3.0 for 8 years, trolled fine. The kicker idea should be considered for both trolling and piece of mind as a backup.
