Yam, A, Ha Shouldn't that be Ya, Ma, Ha? :) They make good guitars and keyboards. Outboards? Stick to making guitars. :) I was just down shooting the breeze with a guy who sells Yellowfins. He has one of these in a slip beside Mrs.E's GB and I checked it out ... it's something I think you would like. The one here has the engine mounted on a jackplate. Impressive engine too. 275 horses, supercharged and very quiet. He told me I can try it out whenever I get the itch. Not my kind of boat though. http://www.yellowfinyachts.com/24_bay_boat.htm Eisboch |

As for me, I have zero interest in buzzing around Buzzard's Bay at 65 mph in a 24' boat with gunnels 18" above the water. Eisboch |

Think about it - it's has a big engine, handles well and is really fast. Only it's a boat. On water. |

(black hulled Yellowfin 24) http://nplots.com/Documents/BB3w.JPG I agree with the black hull - that is slick looking. I like those Verados on a boat that size. I wouldn't turn one down if it was offered with a boat as a package. I would prefer ETECs, but that's a good second choice. My Ranger is technically a "bay" boat, but the hull is actually a Ranger 620 hull with a CC and T-top. It has a sharper bow entry than most bay boats. http://www.rangerboats.com/flash/spe...4&series=multi Ranger made them off the 620 for two years, dropped the 20 until 2005, then brought it back with this which is a completely different boat. http://www.rangerboats.com/flash/gal...ries=sal****er I don't like the styling of the new Bay Rangers. I get a lot of comments on my boat and they are always positive |

Basically, you drift along the beach uisng a light at night and when you see the shape of of a flounder in the sand, you press the button and it gigs the flounder, brings it up to the surface, the pole rotates and delivers a freshly gigged flounder. It can also be used for a trailer jack. Sometimes it's used to position the boat - you set the pole into the bottom to hold the boat in position. Handy in a tidal rip or on a flat to keep you from drifting too close to structure, the beach or such as that. |
