POWER REVIEW
SYLVAN G3 CLZ DC
Luxuryfor Everyone
By | Craig Ritchie

Sylvan's brilliant G3 CLZ DC brings an entirely new level of performance, comfort and versatility
to Canadian boaters.
hile Canadians may have
been slower to warm to pontoon
boats than our southern
neighbours, that's defi nitely changed as
we see more of them gracing our waters
every year. The latest data shows pontoon
boats now represent around 30% of all
new boats sold in Canada and it's easy to
understand why - with their interior space
and tremendous versatility, pontoons are
near-perfect family runabouts.
Take their fl at fl oor and swing-open,
dock-height entry gates for instance.
These make it easy for passengers of all
ages to board or disembark without having
to climb over gunnels or seats. There's
way more room to stretch out and get
comfortable in a pontoon than there is in
a bowrider or a cruiser of equal size. And
let's face it, nothing tops their tremendous
versatility - pontoons can fi sh, go for picnics,
pull the kids on a tube or even keep
up with the speed boats. Sylvan's all-new
G3 CLZ DC is a great case in point.
For starters, the G3 CLZ DC looks
nothing like the traditional pontoon boat,
inside or out. Smooth body panels in place
of old-school fencing and frames? Check.
Sleek walk-through windshield? Check.
Available watersports tower? You bet.
Powerful engine and jaw-dropping performance?
Of course.
Approaching the G3 CLZ DC from
the dock, it's hard to not appreciate just
how smooth, sleek and streamlined this
boat truly is. Fluid, automotive-style body
panels fl ow seamlessly from stem to stern
to give the boat a fi nished, contemporary
look. Stylish LED docking lights neatly
accent the boat's design, and give it a
hint of sportscar-like playful aggression.
Fibreglass fenders that wrap around the
cockpit neatly integrate into the extended
swim platform to further contribute to a
profi le that suggests motion even when
tied to the dock.
Once you step inside, of course, as with
a luxury automobile, it's all about the
seats.

loungers offer a great space to stretch out
and enjoy the views, whether on the hook
or underway. High backrests conceal integrated
drink holders and stereo speakers
in an appealing and effi cient design. Both
seat cushions lift, of course, to reveal
secure storage spaces in their bases for a
range of gear and goodies.
Moving aft through the Sylvan's stylish
walk-through windshield, the driver
and companion enjoy high-back, reclining
Captain's chairs with fl ip-up bolsters
and fold-down armrests. Both sit on an
elevated platform for enhanced visibility
