Brought a Yellowfin 5800 folding hard top back when the new model came out in 2019, Had a few teething problems but Riverina Marine and Yellowfin have fixed all of them with no drama and fuss and have bent over backwards to help me where they can, have done alot of game fishing out the shelf with it love the ride and stability Highly Recommended
In the part of the video where the guy was talking about the 350 hours and they had a close up of the bilge/keel, I thought the same... Def not "stack-o-dimes". That said the fact that they use the slotted keel and weld both sides I believe would make a way sturdier boat than a flat bar with one weld to a large sheet. If you missed the super keel it was in the beginning of the video 1:38, also I think he was implying that the chine rail 2:49 (edge of the boat) was a channel configuration as well. I am not an engineer, but the channel with weld on both sides seems to me to be a way better way to build and his explanation of the reinforcemnt clearly shows they care about a solid build.
What a great overview of the process! One question though. Around the 4:01 mark we can see that the bottom supports are not touching or welded to the sides above the chine. Why is this? Thank you!
I friend of mine got his yellow fin last year he said worst boat he ever had the aluminum ended up leaking within 2 months had to repair it myself I ended up selling boat but never will I own a aluminum boat only fiberglass boats
I'm a boat builder from Perth Western Australia. Strip frame boats like these fatigue/flex alot more than full frame boats. The frames always crack, mainly around the fuel tank mounts.
I have a 6500 HT on order to be delivered in October. What would have helped me prior to putting the deposit down would have been to see some more videos of it. Most of the videos on UA-cam is mainly of older vessels! Can't wait for the boat!
Typical YF junk. Boat construction isn't stuck in the 80s. Your blokes can't even explain concisely construction methods or engineering terminology. "It just held up" really inspires confidence in the customers when the manager can't even believe it hasn't cracked its welds yet.
Luxury boats Looks good Stable at rest Roomy Ride quality: 7 /10 Dry ride 6/10 Visibility 8/10 Head on Sea 6/10 Following sea 7/10 Slaps like a bitch Overall fibre glass boats or go home
Fantastic video I've got a yf70f extended cab about to be built. Can't wait!
5:43 The fact this guy finds it "Amazing" that the hull hasn't cracked after just 350 hours is not the big selling point he thinks it is.
Why are stringers only space welded?
good evening there is not a workstation I am a professional welder thank you.

The welding is no where near as good as the plate boats from new Zealand ... I didn't buy a Yellowfin because of this.

That's it mate let it all out😂😂😂
Great job!!!
How much does it cost to build a boat
When you gunna start making hardcore tiller model for the people who don’t want or afford the class of boats your offering
That's not our kind of boat. You're probably best looking at some of the smaller aluminium boat builders.
So nice bro
150hrs of labour ? very fast
Thats telwater for you quantity over quality
Awesome video good to see the factory and the boys building them with the info behind the design of the hull makes me want one even more now!
Great to hear! Our boys put in a lot of effort into our boats.
