Without a doubt Yellowfin is one of the industry leaders in producing fishing boats, it has a flat deck which gives a full 360* unobstructed place to fish. The boat has been outfitted with the top of the line electronics from Garmin and Furuno 12” displays. There is a large t-top to protect you from the harsh Florida sun as well.
