Can the Yellowfin 7000 Southerner handle the rough?

[@mjp5546]

Great to see a boat actually reviewed in rougher conditions. Thanks.

A real boat test - well done. “Arrrh, you got that one” hahaha, been there.

Well said, no one should be looking for bad weather, but it’s good to know if you come across harsh conditions the boat is capable of handling it.. Reminds me of a few trips trips we’ve done offshore.. YF doesn’t mind bashing through the snot that’s for sure 🤙

About time you test the boat in the slightly rough water very surprised not a bad boat at all gives the surtees a run for it’s money .

Finally reviewed the boat in proper rough. Its great to know big yellow can handle big swell. I have be out in 5.8 meter yellow fin in rough and it hold own it own against big boats

Growing up on Port Phillip Bay, you never forget it!

Bloody good to see how well it handled it!

[@davidturner3188]

That is the only way to do a boat test. Full marks. Most other reviewers wait for a calm day which shows nothing as to how it will perform in rough conditions.

Great job 👍 How much is the gyro stabiliser ball park figure.

[@craigmooney2630]

Sounds pretty quiet for a plate boat

Hi would you be able to do 7600 thanks mate

[@seansavage1449]

Hi we have lots of 7600 videos on our channel. If you are looking for ruff water 7600 videos the link below might interest you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZKvl4aohbKEjM0

I'm interested in the 7600 ,is there much difference in performance between the 225 and 300 on the 7600 ,watching your video of the 7000 with 225 and 7600 with 300 there appears only 2-3 kpm in top speed and about the same fuel economy,also does the 300 run on 91 octane, cheers ,great video

[@seansavage1449]

@@graemehunter8869 Hi Graeme Thanks mate, so to me performance wise I find the 7000 & 7600 very similar in power, stability & ruff water performance. The benefit of the 7600 is that extra cockpit space. Max HP is recommended on both packages however the F300 does need to run a high-octane fuel and the F225 is happy with 91 octane.

A decent boat test in typical southerly PPB slop. I don't think it would matter what trailer boat you are in, there will always be the occasional slap and pounding if the frequency of waves and speed of the boat are out of kilter. And the spray is also unavoidable. What matters is the ability to endure this rough ride for hours on end. I prefer the heavier boats as they don't 'bounce' around as much as the lighter hulls which means reduced fatigue. Nothing like heading 40+ km off Portland to the shelf and weather turns pear shaped and having to smash your way home.....

A lot comes down to the captain and their ability to control the boat in a position that feels most comfortable. The 7000 Southerner is a straight forward boat to drive with no bad habits to look out for. The ocean always wins and will dictate when we can go offshore boating, not the other way around.

love it

[@leemccullough558]

This is a very wet boat either you have it trimmed wrong or its the driver i own an older 5mtr quintrex custom centre cab and open bow and its nowhere near as wet as your getting my windows dont get saturated like that a word of advic get the nose up so it takes the hit just before midships

[@vaughanscott7308]
