Yellowfin is not as new as you may think

When you compare the boat builders to Yellowfin, you might think that 1998 is relatively new for a company which has seen such success. But, this is because Yellowfin has only been around since that time, not the manufacturer and the boat builder. Prior to selling his company in 1998, Yellowfin boats were designed by Nagler under the name Back Country Powerboats. So, even though the brand may be newer, the design and construction are based upon decades of experience.

What makes a Yellowfin unique

Perhaps the best qualities of the yellowfin are those which relate to the fisherman design. As yellowfin is specifically designed for the fishing family, this would make sense. The open style, center console boats are distinctive on the market. Specifically, the hull is shaped different from other boats on the market. This aesthetic has “a distinctive appearance that creates an overall commercial impression that boaters have come to know and appreciate” says Yellowfin.

In terms of this design, the boats tend to be a bit deeper than some of the other boats on the market. The Yellowfin also offers the dual hardtop navigation consoles, giving the fisherman/woman the advantage of seeing the water from a different vantage point. Of course, as with most brands, the company offers customization on the boats, so long as they are 24’ or over.

On most models, you will find hat the bow is designed to work as a casting deck as well. This is especially true on the skiffs, the Hybrid, and the Bay boats, as they are catered more to the freshwater where casting out would be a major advantage for the fisherman.

Where can a Yellowfin be used best?

Yellowfin boats for sale can be used in a variety of waters. As you can see from the models, the company focuses on both the freshwater and on the saltwater fishing. The 17 Skiff up to the 26’ Hybrid can be used in most rivers, lakes, and freshwater. When looking at the smaller boats, check for power poles and other such packaging. Take into consideration the outboard motor in such location as there are restrictions in Florida about power and such. The 29’ to the 42’ Offshore says it in the name. These boats are designed for deep water angling. While the smaller boats have the flatter hulls for the shallow water, the offshore boats have the distinctive deep Vee design. Like all yellowfins, you will find that the edge of the hull is thicker than most boats. This contributes to the excessively dry deck. The underside space on the port and the starboard is not left unused but is optimized with storage and rod racks.

Note that if you are to use the boat in the keys it is advised that you have a secondary anchor to minimize drifting.
