That sure is a good looking boat with great features. Personally, I'd prefer one a bit bigger and with 2 engines for going in the Gulf. Although, if you're only fishing in the bays and bayous, you wouldn't need it.

All headed by guest angler, "Walleye Pete" Dahlberg. This is the cousin of 1 of our very bestest buds.
And Pete's 1 serious boater and angler.

FINALLY, a realistic and pretty optimistic review of this KEWL new boat !
So glad it got posted already !

Currently ......... There are only three (3) total FSH's in the U.S.
They are making their rounds of dealers and shows.
Things will change, but not today.

I bet this is a trial balloon to see how these fishing boats sell. If this one is popular, my guess is that you'll see an entire line of them.

I was thinking the same thing... looks like it has tons of room too !
Indeed it does, I was amazed how much room there is on a 19' boat. I think it's because there are not seats everywhere but open space to walk and stand or sit.

When I spoke with the lead designer on this project boat, he felt confident that Yamaha would green light a bigger version provided the sales of the 19' were strong.

Not sure about sales but they should start delivery of them in 45-60 days.
