i could never ever ever ever!!!! pay that $$$$$$ for a 24 ft boat!!!
i would love to see the dealer invoice and what is charged for the extras!!!
whats a base price..... hull, trailer and 300 yammy??? like 70-75??

[calcutta37]

Got a question how much was a brand new 24ft yellowfin when the first started making them like 40-50k. Now they are 115k thats just sick and people are paying it..

[skeeter77346]

Base price on a new build YF 24, 300 Yam (4.2L) and a power pole is $78K and change. The boat in Houston is a resale with 25 hours or so. Owner is getting transferred to Chicago or something. Options can get the price over $100k though. 40 week wait for a new one.

ridiculous don't know why anyone would spend that. they aren't that damn special

[skeeter77346]

Sorta like $80k for a new Toyota Landcruiser or the big Lexus SUV, I guess. Just toys. Some are pricier than others. I drive an Expedition, but I must admit the LandCruiser is nicer, for sure. Same idea on the YF 24. How much nicer? The 40 week backlog says a few folks think it is worth the wait. My new YF 24 goes in the mold next week. Call me crazy. :-)

Or, they are terribly slow buildin' 'em.

Fella I worked with had ordered an SCB and was a six month wait. Was contacted by another gentleman 2 months out and sold his spot for 16k.

Skeeter: You're gonna love the boat! What kind of options are you adding to yours? How 'bout that Garmin 7212 on the boat listed, those are really sweet! I really like my YF, just wish I could get it wet more often.

Or, they don't sell enough to keep em stocked. Buil on demand.

Skeeter, do you have a 21 hybrid now and if so are you selling it when you get your 24?

[buoy37]

I do just fine with my $7,500 Blue Wave

[Reefman]

Did you guys notice the under the console wiring in that Yellowfin????? A work of art!. Very few dealers/builders would go through that type of effort in a clean installation of that caliber. You can get the feeling that if that much attention to detail is placed in the electrical compartments most everything else should be of same workmenship.....

DogFace, My 'old' YF 21 in now owned by a guy in Greenwich, CT. Called me one day 2 months ago. Sent my dealer cash the next week and loaded on a transport the following week. Boatless for now. :-(

A few sad pics from that day before the boat was blocked and strapped for transit.

My YF 24 will have a Yamaha 4.2L 300 (10 inch Bob's Action Jack JP) and will be an open boat with no T-Top. Still finalizing the options, but have decided on the SIMRAD NSS 12, Structure Scan, Sirius Weather, a Fusion + 4 JL 770s, amp, VHF, MK 101 Wireless, Command Link Plus, added an 'old school' analog fuel gauge, plus an on/off switch for the sounder box to kill the 'ping' in shallow water marsh ponds. Under front deck and fish boxes will be 'Aqua Mist' to match the side color. The Cap, console and running surface will be 'Pelican Grey' - think YF white (Matterhorn) with just 'half a drop of grey' in it, so it is not too white. A few more tweaks, but that gives you an idea.

Kevin Barker at YF is all about building the boat 'YOU WANT' - he will customize it to fit how you fish. He recently did a riser box 24 for a FL Tarpon Guide and that was a very cool set up.
