Yellowfin 24 Bay CE Boats
An elite boat for the avid fisherman
If you look at the title Yellowfin 24 Bay and then see the Yellowfin 24 Bay CE, you may be wondering “what is the difference?”. The difference is that the CE is the Carbon Elite version of the Yellowfin 24 Bay boats. Design wise, the boat has a carbon fiber weave combined with a 100% vinyl ester resin and resin infusion. This reduces the weight of the vessel allowing for quicker speeds and higher precision in navigating the water. Here are a few of the key features of the Yellowfin 24 Bay CE boats for sale.
A new layout
While anglers appreciated the layout on the standard Yellowfin 24 Bay boats, they wanted to have a bit more space at the bow for storage and a more optimized layout on the step-down interior of the vessel. Responding to this demand, the Yellowfin 24 Bay CE has a 4’8” clearance from the transom bench to the control console. The bow of this Yellowfin boat has been reduced 4” from the Yellowfin 24 Bay boat. This reduction allowed for the new integration of a 290 quart fish box with a 5 inch step-up, making the transition to the fore deck more natural.
The Yellowfin24 Bay CE’s fore deck storage is sectioned off, unlike the Yellowfin 24 Bay boat which has an open storage concept. This feature gives more structural integrity to the bow casting deck.
The only Carbon Elite on the market
The Carbon Elite fiber design is unique to the boating world. This is a revolutionary design and so it is only offered for the 24 Yellowfin, though the company will be introducing their other size boats for sale in the future. Due to the construction of the boat, there are no customizations to the deck and design at this point. Again, this is something which might change in the future.
Upgraded Console
The Yellowfin 24 Bay CE boat has addressed the 7 inches of unused console space in the Yellowfin 24 Bay Boat by integrating a footrest into the console. You still have the exact same storage room inside the console, but the space has been utilize to make the piloting of the vessel more comfortable. The console has been shrunk 5 inches lengthwise but retained its port to starboard dimensions. This gave more interior space on the deck.
Seating on the Console is a bench style fixed position bar seat. The back of the seat is designed with rocket rod holders. The seat is cushioned with an armrest.
Power
New to the Yellowfin 24 Bay CE boats for sale is the Mercury Racing 400 model engine. This engine, according to Yellowfin, has the highest out of the box speed than any other model. When properly equipped and weighted, the Yellowfin 24 Bay CE can reach speeds up to 80 mph.
Who should use this boat?
Like the Yellowfin 24 Bay Boat, the Yellowfin 24 Bay Carbon Elite boats for sale are primarily intended for Bay areas and Lakes of Florida. The extra power does allow the boat to navigate into some tighter spots. Keep in mind that there is a 12 to 14 inch Draft on the boat when it is fully weighted, so extremely shallow waters are not an option. That being stated, most of the bay areas, rivers, and certainly the Gulf and Atlantic coasts can be fished using the Yellowfin 24 Bay CE. As the boat is carbon fibered, it is able to handle some of the more treacherous waters, especially when considering the 400hp Mercury engine that is powering the vessel. For those who wish to take on some deeper water, it is recommended that the boat be used in the Gulf and not in the offshore areas of the Atlantic. While both offshore areas pose issues (as the boat is not designed to take on offshore fishing but is designed specifically for inshore anglers) the gulf would be the safer of the two options.
