Thanks guys...........
Ryan: I know all about the Yellowfins. I have inspected quite a few of them here in Sarasota, at the Miami Boat Show last year, and in the Bahamas over the summer. They are very well made and well designed. I ruled them out because of several reasons including size, interior layout, and price.
Size - I wanted a boat under 30' as the largest boat I have had previously was a 21' Checkmate Starflite. May consider a 30’ – 36’ boat in the future.
Interior Layout - My wife "requested" some additional seating and a "less fishing" design (have to please the wife!!)
Price - wanted to stay under $90,000 fully equipped. I was able to do that with quite a few quality boats including Monza.
Performance – Yes, the Yellowfin is a wonderful performing boat and would meet my criteria; being a cruising speed in the 40 – 45 MPH range and a top end in the upper 60’s.
