| Seminolewind, Now why would I want to go and sell a Timex watch?  Seriously, I understand your point, but it's not relevant to my post. One could go back and forth and justify "why" or "why not" to spend the $$$. (I have a wife -- I understand the concept of justification very well! JK) Simply, it's not important enough to me (regardless of resale value) to spend that kind of jack on a Yellowfin.

My problem is the "lack of interest" in your opinion: "You can spend less and get a much better boat with a 22-24 Pathfinder in my opinion" Eric Holstman's Signature Expeditions Yamaha Outboards Pro Staff, Maverick Boat Company Pro Staff(Maverick/Hewes/Pathfinder), Berkley Elite Saltwater Staff(Berkley Satwater Gulp!, Johnson, Spiderwire Ultracast, Trilene, Abu Garcia and Fenwick), Quantum Fishing, Patagonia Pro Staff, LX Polarized Optics Pro Staff, Ship's Chandler Marina Pro Staff, Motorguide Pro Staff and Power-Pole Pro Staff If your going to make a statement such as this, at least give us an UNBIASED reason as to why Pathfinder is a better boat than Yellowfin. Thanks in advance and I appreciate your thoughts on etiquette.

I think Pathfinder makes a hell of a boat so does Skeeter, Ranger and Shearwater ect. I would still take the Yellowfin over any of these plain and simple but it is a matter of preference, will I catch more fish out of the Yellowfin probably not but I will have one badass boat that can do whatever I need it to.

Thanks in advance and I appreciate your thoughts on etiquette. I found this on Boattrader.com 2007 24 Pathfinder Tournament edition 55K granted it does have a T-Top http://www.boattrader.com/listing/2007-PATHFINDER-BOATS-2400-Tournament-93208857 Or 2007 Yellowfin loaded out minus the T-Top for 53K http://boatstore.floridasportsman.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl_bo?boatbays&1218311860 So the Pathfinder is not that much less than the Yellowfin

This kind of thinking is what makes a professional angler instead of a weekend hacker with a super bad ass boat. I like Erics thought. Boats are like golf clubs. If you want to be a great golfer wear the faces off of a set of irons hitting range balls and spend hours on the putting green. Spend the money you save on buying new clubs taking a lesson or two from a good pro. The idea is to have a capable boat and use it to catch a lot of fish. To each their own. I'll take the really good boat and the guided trips with Capt. Wes. Over impressing a bunch of dudes at some boat ramp with a boat that cost too much that I use for purposes other than making a living. If money is no object I'll have one of each and some champagne to wash them down with.

Those yellowfins are fine boats. You guys just got me drooling over the 42 yellowfin! Everyting about that boat is perfect: a cabin with the ability to walk around it easily, tons of rod holders and storage, crows nest with controls, and an awesome cockpit. I say if you've got the money for a yellowfin, go for it.
