Why do you prefer the Yammie over your other more seaworthy boat? Seating?My new hobby - giving NYC/Manhattan Grand Tours - these days - every single one of our house guests gets one whether they ask for it or not, lol. This one must have been... Tour #... 20(?)
I can't get enough of it. I prefer to use the Yamaha - it's a perfect boat for it; unless it rains.

- the Yamaha is simply a dream machine for light cruising, sightseeing, there is just nothing like it - between its maneuverability, stress-free operation in shallow water, open bow with filler cushions, and cockpit seating and storage under seats - there is no comparison with anything else. At least that I know of. It is, hands down, the most versatile boat, overall, fantastic for short inland trips etc., in good weather.Why do you prefer the Yammie over your other more seaworthy boat?

By the way if anyone is interested, that float mat is $280 at sams club and is 15 by 6, I thought it was a really good deal considering how much some of them areTook my dog out for the first time today to see if he was a lake dog, turns out he is!! Jumped off the float pads few times and swam around for a minute. Problem is he likes to bite the water for some reason, he does that in the pool and in creeks as well. But while he's swimming it makes him choke a little bit and worries the shit out of me. He was pretty freaked on out the first time he went in, but got used to it, he was paddling for dear life...lol

Gorgeous when you are at work and then on a day off you check it in the morning and it’s flat with a south wind and then by noon when you are ready and get ready to launch it’s a north east and white capsCedar Point BeachView attachment 152807View attachment 152808
