While the third outboard engine does add some weight, about 600 pounds, the 36 was designed around the triple-engine configuration, compensating for the extra weight on the back with the placement of the fuel tanks to balance that out, he explained. 'If you're in a tournament and you break a propeller or blow an engine, you can still get up on a plane and run forty miles per hour and still get back and weigh your fish if you need to,' he added.
As you take a closer look at the boat's details, you notice the amenities that add to the Yellowfin's 'fishability.' Starting up front, there are the recessed stainless steel bow rails and the premium Gemlux flush-mounted pop-up cleats, even the stainless bow light pops down flush with the deck when not in use. There are other lights mounted under the gunwales for working after dark. This model was equipped with an optional 'coffin box,' an above-deck fishbox, that tilts over to one side to reveal a 530-quart macerated fishbox built into the sole. The console has a dash protected by a Plexiglas screen that lifts up and tucks out of the way. The helm features Teleflex hydraulic steering and a custom lighted switch panel, plus a recessed toehold and plenty of handholds. The fiberglass leaning post has a 25-gallon bait well in the back and there's another 60-gallon bait well centered on the transom. Both are serviced by 1,100 gallon-per-hour Shurflo baitwell pumps and both have clear Plexiglas lids. There's plenty of rod storage under the gunwales and padding all around the coaming. There are four rod holders built into the transom plus 9-foot rod boxes. |
