Poll - What will the 2015.5 Yamaha One of a Kind Boat For Every Kind of Boater Be?

[Julian]

Was trolling the web for any news about the announcement at the Miami Boat show and came across this link http://miamiboatshow.com/shared-static/pages/news/news.aspx?id=19634 that has Yamaha announcing their new product labeled Yamaha FSH New Product Reveal. Not sure what FSH stands for but seems like fish but we kinda already know that...

Fish
Ski
Hump

Now that would be an all inclusive boat!

@MikeyL , are the G3 pontoons jet driven? I don't see that but maybe they have those options. I would think this would be pretty cool on a pontoon boat that is used for family, swimming, drinking, etc.

 

[Bruce]

A twin jet pontoon with the jet drives built into the pontoons would certainly be innovative and provide improved safety and boarding.

YES! Truly a boat for everyone.

This thread sure does make me

What did @primedoc say was coming to the market? Was is a cruiser?

 

[Volffas]

My guess is a fish and ski deck boat similar to the Bayliner 190.

I will add; I sure would like to see an all-aluminum hull hardcore fishing boat with a single inboard jet engine, but that wouldn't be a boat for "every kind of boater"

I would like to see something like this a dual console boat with plenty of seating yet a hull designed for big water.

I think it will be a twin jet center console with a hull and accessories similar to the one in this video but maybe with an "articulating keel", their latest sound absorbing materials, a high tow point and a dedicated spot for board racks or tubes. They have the resources and technology why not add a ballast system that doubles as a live well, perfect pass and/or submerged lighting.

How about this one

Anyone remember when MasterCraft built a cabin cruiser. It was a very nice machine but at $300K more than double the cost of their next model, they didn't sell many and therefore they didn't make them long. I sure hope Yamaha doesn't follow the same strategy.

After re-watching these two videos of the MC 300, I think I may have just found my next boat, even though it's a prop. (twin prop actually).

 

[Jim Robeson]

@Ronnie ... that is very nice. Okay, I'm officially changing my vote to a twin engine cruiser!!

 

[txav8r]

you guys know that Yamaha already has a fishing boat in their brand, right? G3 and Skeeter are in their brand. I don't know what they are coming out with, but my expectation is that it is an addition to the jet boat line.

I think it is Fish/Ski/Hybrid

 

[Bruce]

I think it is Fish/Ski/Hybrid

That is way less fun than Julian's version!

 

[JC6275]

@txav8r , you mean "hybrid" like a PRIUS????

 

[Julian]

A Hybrid boat sure would be a different mainstream addition....the battery weight would be perfect as a Wake Surf boat!

 

[Jim Robeson]

Had no idea that Skeeter was one of their brands. You see, you do learn something new every day!!

 

[MikeyL]

SKEETERS blow Ranger bass boats away.

Said "gently" by a proud and happy SKEETER owner !


Hint: Look at my signature line

 

[Jim Robeson]

@MikeyL ... had to smile at your post. My dad has a 17ft Skeeter with a 250 Evinrude and that boat will move. We were clocked at 86 by a guy with a radar gun, man that was fun!! Most folks usually turn their hats around backwards...not this boat. You best take that off before you get under way or you won't have it long.

I wasn't referring to hybrid as in gas/electric. I was referring to hybrid as in fish/ski. Hybrid-anything derived from mixed sources. But to be honest, a "hump" boat would be ok with me too, if it increases the activity!
