I don't have many details yet, but it looks like we're going to get this
as a donation. All I know is that it is not a fix-it boat, except for
routine
diesel filter change that is due. Sails have seen very little use.

Anyone have any experience with this type of boat?

I had a Yamaha 80. Was the best piano I ever had. Keyboard action was =
great and when tuned, stayed in tune. The brightwork was =
excellent...pecan exterior, cherrywood soundboard, I believe. If the =
boats are built as well as Yamaha pianos, then it's probably great.

Hey Katy, I still have a Yamaha 80, although it's down in MD now with some
kid riding it.

I think the bass would be better than the high notes.

I'm reasonably certain the footpeddles are missing.

Anyone have any experience with this type of boat?

I went on one at the Annapolis show a number of years ago when Yamaha tried
unsuccessfully to enter the US market. I thought it was just another average
boat. Yamaha should stick to motorcycles. Or is it PWC? Or is it stereo
equipment? Or is it musical instruments?

Another average boat would be fine for us. It'll be a light
cruising, mostly training boat.
