Yar-craft 209 TFX

[tm7554]

So I just wanted to pop in say thanks to those on the board who suggested this hull when I was looking last year. I wanted a boat that would stay dry when trolling muskies and ride like Cadillac in the rough stuff. Had my first chance today to see what the hull would do in the slop and chop. The boat is amazing. If you haven't had the pleasure of riding in one of these boats and you are about to purchase, do yourself a favor and ride in this hull. In addition, the smartcraft gauges were showing 5 mpg at cruise and around 2.3 mpg at 63 mph. Seems to be a very efficient hull. Nice job Yar-craft.

Was it a factory executive boat?

250 V-rod. I'll try and post some pics later. You are going to love that 219 and the Verado is amazing. Local guide over here runs a 219 and speak very highly of it. Did you order a kicker for it?

[tm7554]

23P Tempest but i'm switching for a 21P. The Rev4 is the right choice for that 300.

[Gale Johnson]

What are you going to do with your 23 Tempest?

I might want to try one of them?

If I had to wait for a week for this boat I'd go to a doctor and ask for an induced coma "mixture" to last for a week that way the wait is only overnight. hang in there buddy!!
