If he takes over for Brian Williams....can we even believe he was there?????
At least he didn't say they were under heavy RPG fire on the bus ride there...

I think we can believe he is there, it's when we hear the story of "they took me out to the gulf fishing in it and we got chased by pirates" or "we were fishing and I hooked this marlin, had him up to the boat and then he broke the line......" (oh, sorry @MikeyL that type of story may be acceptable on beautiful Lake Oconee?)

What do you guys think about the raw water wash down? If you are in the bay that would be salt water.

Great for washing fish parts off of the boat with an unlimited water supply. I am curious if the wash down water is heated?

@Murf'n'surf, the storage areas appear to be well finished and sealed. Do you know if Yamaha has reduced the sound levels on this model?

First impression is .... Well done Yamaha! They really hit a homer with this boat. Considering its small size, this boat is full of big features. It does not feel like a 19' boat to me.

I've got more boats to look at so I will elaborate on details a little bit later.

A bigger cc boat may be green lighted if this line sells well.

From looking at the wells I doubt they used any soundproofing. There's just no room.

The price point is not bad as compared to others. At the show did they say anything about why this boat is better than any other CC out there? I was curious on the marketing POV.

Is it sinkable? Can you cut it in half or have the plug blow out and still float?
