Really expensive bay boats
Posted on 4/9/17 at 5:28 pm

I almost got in a wreck today because I was staring at a brand new 24ft Yellowfin with a 400 on the back. I got home and was thinking the price tag of that must be easily over $150k.
Are $100k+ bay boats that much more worth it than a similarly equipped $50k bay boat? I just don't see the justification for such an increase in price for not that much more benefit.
Do they hold up better?
Do they ride better?
Are they dryer?
Better fishability?
Faster?
I haven't seen that drastic of a difference, but they sure as shite look good

Its just higher quality and more attention to the small details just like luxury cars. YF does have the 24 Carbon Elite model which is maybe the one you saw. 25% less weight and im sure it is pretty fast.

I've fished several times out of MarshMan's BlueWave, and it's about as comfortable as it gets. Tag on it was less than 100k.

I wonder what they cost to produce
Posted on 4/9/17 at 6:58 pm to PapaPogey
and yes, those Carbon Elite Yellowfins are north of 150k brand new

It said "Pro 400". Looked it up, and it was a Merc. Dude was headed towards Metairie Rd. So Mr Metairie Rd Yellowfin fishing guy....you can take me any time you'd like

That seems like a good way to die.

Looks like a good way to die. 400 hp on a piece of plywood.

Running skinny looking for reds burning the shore line. Also running 70+ in the mid tower. It's a cat so handles chop well also.
