Sylvan 8527HT

Rare 2004 Sylvan Mandalay 8527HT, second owner has had since '13. Kids will love tubing, kneeboarding, wakeskating, or jumping off the factory-installed hardtop when anchored. Adults will love the massive amount of seating (rated 18 adults or 2780 lbs), tons of storage, oversized captain's chair, fully shaded helm, and easy beaching at any lake island. Perfect if you have kids, dogs, or are on the water on holiday weekends as it's very stable in any condition and extremely easy to board.Johnson 90HP 2-stroke motor has just been professionally tuned including carb rebuild and new bowls, oil, and fuel lines. Motor has always used ethanol-free fuel and synthetic oil, and will push this 27' double decker pontoon over 20mph while being very fuel-efficient at cruising speed. Sink and ample storage in oversized console as well as under all seats, Fusion waterproof stereo with sealed iPod dock, LED mood and boarding lights, and pop-up changing room under the rear sundeck.

Floor is solid and carpet in good shape, largely due to factory aluminum sheathing under the deck. No tears in the seats and they plastic bases, but upholstery is faded and recommend recovering in the next season or two- hence the discounted price. Sold without trailer, but delivery possible on Lake Norman or can arrange for easy loading at nearby boat ramp. The second story is aluminum so its not much heavier than a single decker, was moved recently using a 24 trailer- I can work with the buyer to make arrangements as necessary.
