Gonna have to change my screen name, bought a new boat!

MSYellowfin · 01-06-2010, 01:50 PM

I have been MScontender for years now as I have a Contender 25 that I have loved! Well I stepped up this week and bought a 2010 36' Yellowfin with trip Yamaha F250s. So excited I can't see straight! Looking forward to more room, more speed, more range, more comfort! My teenage girls (14 and 15) have begun fishing with me more and more and I just needed a larger boat. Wrestled with Contender 33T, Yellowfin 34 and Invincible 36, but in the end chose the Yellowfin due to reputation and overall quality of wiring etc... Boat will have dual Raymarine 12" E120s, 4kw Digital radar, Raymarine X10 autopilot, 1kw transducer and a whopping 540 gallon fuel capacity. Can you say distant oil rigs!!

So maybe I should change my name to MSyellowfin. Now I need to get to work and sell my much beloved Contender. Which by the way is sitting on a brand new 2009 Hi Tech trailer, with a new Raymarine X10 autopilot as well (also radar, 1kw bottom machine, temp, speed, dual VHF, Sony explode sound system, battery charger etc... etc...)

Here are a few pictures of the boat. Boat should be delivered to Orange Beach in the next two weeks and then more pics will follow.

Awesome. Great time to buy if you can. Can't wait to see pics.

MSYellowfin · 01-06-2010, 02:17 PM

Thanks for all the kind words.

Boat is having final electronics put on it now, so I don't have access to take pics just now. I will try to get some I took earlier up. But all white hull, all white T top, white powder coat aluminum, 3 live wells, coffin box on rams, etc.. etc...

I spent 4 years fishing on a 36 yellowfin. My opinion is that the 36 yellowfin is by far the best riding and set up center console on the market. You will not be disappointed...Congrats!:letsdrink
