my dad's good friend was looking at them i think he was gunna get like a 115 on his.but idk if he is looking at them anymore..he got a new honda jet ski

heavy boat = smooth ride

there are no substitutes for deadrise and hull weight to knock out the chop, except maybe the stepped hull the YF uses.

Thanks
 

Thanks for correcting me...Now I know.

lake and bay 22 back water max hp is 350 the 24 is 500!!! wow. i could see myself in a 24 footer with 2 f250s on the back. what do they do to the transoms to make them that strong? w you looked at them. how thick is transom? i know skeeter uses aluminum braces on theirs.

2 250's!!! id be like the coast guard!!

more like you'd achieve orbit.

lake and bay 24 only 2100 lb hull weight, that's light (can't imagine having 1000+ lbs of engine on the back performing right), the ranger is 2800 or so, bay bolt is 3150.

my dream boat would be a lake and bay boca grande

I have a 18' with a 115 and mine tops out at about 41 but I just got my prop repitched and the man that did the work says that I can run 46 with the new pitch. I just got it back yesterday and haven't put it on yet but I will let you know. I love my boat. The only problem I have is the 18'. Now I want a bigger one. Jerry's marine has a 22' with 225 optimax for 30,000. Thats not too bad. Not sure where you got yours from but with TTL mine was right at 21,000.

nauticstar
 

i bought mine at texas marine.jerry acted like i was wasting his time.i am going to have my prop changed out after i get my trolling moter.do you know anyone in the lake charles area.

Get a 23' Shearwater and put a 250 YAMA! Very nice rig there! Hope you have at least $55K.
What about a SCOUT. Those are some nice looking bay boats too!

A buddy of mine just bought a 24ft Lake and Bay...Talk about sweet! Tricked out with power pole, 110 motor guide, Big Screen (color) GPS, Depth finder, 300 Suzuki. It's a little better than my 1994 predator. lol. Another just got his new 24 ft champion it is tricked out also. Funny thing is... the hulls looked identical from underneath but the cap was different. Can't wait to get in the Lake and bay.

my dream boat
 

I have a 07 kenner 1800 vision.
Little boat rides real dry but the quality of the hardware is not that great.

mojo on the yellowfin forum a guy posted 74 wot with the f350.

gause
 

i like the look of the gause

looks like it will float shallow enough to do inshore but will fish 50 miles offshore no problem.

so i think we established that yellowfin/gause > mako :rotfl:

I fish out of a 2110 Nauticstar. My boss had the 2200 and sold it to buy the 2110. The 2200 is a little longer and wider, but the 2110 handles a heavy chop a whole lot better. The 2110 also only needs a 150 to push it 45mph.
