Yes. Trim tabs are standard and there is no issue with power poles and the tabs. Dealer did mention that if I go with two poles, I could not use the boarding ladder when the port one was deployed. It’s a Mercury Verado V10 400 on the back.
Yes sir you are correct. The trim tabs are standard and have no bearing on the power poles. Mine has the Mercury Verado V10 400. Owner of the dealership is a friend of mine. He said top speed is 66-70mph depending on how he props it.
Weight is 3550 before engine
Congratulations on the new boat!On Monday, I said goodbye to my third Yamaha. The family dynamics have changed and we are moving to a center console bay boat with an outboard. I’ve been a part of this group since the beginning and will continue to stop by on occasion. It’s a great forum with great people and the mods do a good job of keeping it what it was designed to be. Wish everyone the best and who knows, we may be back in a Yamaha someday. But for now….out!
Looks like the Merc is 709 lbs. That is a great weight for that boat. Very nice boat indeed.
Great looking boat! I love that big Carolina flare up front! Double step hull will definitely have you moving right along! The 300 hp engine had a bit over 4 mpg at best cruise, I‘d be surprised if the 400 hp engine isn’t solidly in the mid 3’s, possibly the upper 3’s. The seats look awesome! This is a pretty serious fishing machine !
Thank you! We are excited but like I said, kinda apprehensive about some of the trade offs. We are looking forward to the quiet motor, better ride and simplicity of clean up.
Trying to simplify my life a little, so not planning to upgrade at this point. I did, however keep one set of my REV 12’s just in case
The 27’ (or 28’) CC is my short term dream boat. Almost went with their 256 CC but figured it wouldn’t be as convenient on the sandbar. Good Luck!
