I think it does! So if it has a trolling motor, a tower, and a cabin, it fits with @Julian 's definition of fish/ski/hump! lol

But to be honest, a "hump" boat would be ok with me too, if it increases the activity!
I'm confused (as per normal).

Is a "Hump Boat" sumptin' you only use on Wednesdays ?????????????

LOL ............. We don't know alot out here on the Lake .......... LOL !@

I think it is Fish/Ski/Hybrid
Not sure that would be a good idea, at least not for the JBN crew.

Imagine the monster audio systems some guys would try to run on a 300 lb lithium ion hybrid battery set!

"Oh yeah, my system has 380,000 watts!"

I believe the hump referenced is in regard to procreation not the middle of the week. If so the boat needs to have a bed/be an overnighter.

I dont think it is going to be fishing anything, their motors dominate most of that market, im betting a pontoon or cruiser.

It'd be really cool if it was a cruiser of some sort that was trailerable with a generator and a\c.

That's gonna be a big ass boat to fill those needs. I don't see yamaha redesigning their pumps so the overall weight on the surprise edition should be similar to the 240 series.

These guys think they know what is going on....

http://fishgame.com/2015/02/miami-boat-show-just-week-away/

"– Yamaha is introducing a new fishing boat… a jet-powered fishing boat. This isn’t coming from Yamaha Marine (outboards) or one of the fishing boat builders they own, but from Yamaha Watercraft, which builds jet boat bowriders, and runabouts. Will this one be a contender to serious anglers? Obvious draft advantages aside, we’ll see…"

So if this is accurate....will it be a center console or a modification of the current layout?

I hope for them they go with the 24' hull with the keel and rudder (sorry...articulating keel), and add trolling motor mount in the bow, bait wells, fish storage, wash down.....

The front and rear of a jet boat sure could make some nice platform for fishing from! Add the keel and rudder, with trolling motor capability and it could be a cool boat!

The wake in the picture looks nothing like the wake from any of there dual engine boats, the streams are to far apart. I wonder if the picture is just a generic picture and not representative of the new boat. Time will tell.
