Watch in HD 720 and full screen, mixed with some Hendrix Voodoo Child...

Btw, Favorite prop is the TXP OT4 25 - runs right with the Bravo1XS 26 at 74 and 3 MPH faster than a Fury 26. The OT4 is very stout. http://www.turbo-props.com/products/turbo-txp-ot4_txp4 May try a 26 OT4, as this one turns 6,000

Met him at Cabelas. Said ya really like the new yf. Heckuva nice guy, your brother is!

[skeeter77346]

My brother, Craig, makes frieds everywhere. He was a top 5 national Skeeter dealer, Gambler, SeaPro, etc. and a 3 motor line dealer, Merc, Yam & Etec and sold the biz in Luling, LA about 10 years ago. He did the Cabelas event last year and cooked alligator sauce piquante for the crew and knows more Boudreaux jokes than anyone I know. Glad y'all had fun. One thing not in the video is where we did stick the boat down river in some super shallow ponds and had to get out and push, etc and the push pole did come in handy that day. The YF 21 does flat get after it and at 21ft 9inches is bigger in person than the pics suggest. Same front deck as the 24. ....

The water conditions in the video seemed to be on the calm side. How does this hull handle rough water? Say 2' to 3'?

Real 2-3's or big lake 2-3's?

[skeeter77346]

Meaux, Your are correct the conditions in the video were pretty easy running. I need to get some rough water white cap footage shot. Some of the shots were on Lake Houston with the bridges and just me running - winds was around 15 mph that day.

What I can tell you though about three or four weeks ago we ran all over Sabine on a Sunday blowing 25+ AND we were the only boat at the launch by the RV park on Pleasure Island when we put in and when we picked up at 2pm. Never seen that at the RV park on a weekend.

We also fished the LASS Rigolets last year and went out under small craft advisories (big Norther than blew the water out of the marsh by noon) and ran across Lake Catherine to the MRGO and skipped our way down to Delacroix at WOT the whole way ~69mph with 3 guys, full fuel and gear, slowing down by the camps though. LASS was offering refunds to the guys who thought it safer to stay on the trailer that morning. Some of you guys may have fished it or heard about it. Also made the Lake Borgne crossing from the Fort back to the Rigolets on a scout day the day before blowing 20+ (3 ftrs+) out of the south - not a 'fun run' across Borgne when its blowing and we got plenty wet running a quartering sea most of the way in, but wanted to see what she could do in nasty conditions.

All of the 'go fast' rigs like to run in a tightly stacked chop, run it hard at 50 to 60 and stay on top. Some 'go faster' than others. :-)

On the days you get mixed seas, or quartering, just work the tabs, let the big V up front do its thing and find a happy spot on your speed for the conditions. You can run it sitting or standing, your call in those conditions. Great little boat (21ft 9in) for what I do - not a 'be all end all' - no boat is. Gobs of storage and fishing room. Perfect rigging and zero stress cracks.

That was "Big Lake 2-3's".

Btw, The Houston YF dealer (http://tsfyachts.com/index.html) just told me that YF will have a demo 21 with a 300 Yam 4.2L in the water for test rides at the Kemah in the water Boat Show. http://www.southwestinternationalboatshow.com/
