Research 2014 - Yellowfin - 23 Offshore

Designed for the 23-foot-and-under king mackerel tournament circuit, the Yellowfin 23 is a hardcore hot rod worthy of checkered flags, regardless of the trophy. I joined company president Wylie Nagler for a ride across a very frothy Sarasota Bay on the west coast of Florida. An unseasonable cold front had whipped the water into a confused three- to four-foot chop, but Nagler and I stayed bone-dry in all headings, and the entire ride was feather-bed soft. In short, the boat passed its real-world test with flying colors. "Some manufacturers try to build fishing boats from go-fast hulls, but our philosophy has always been to design fishing boats that go fast," Nagler said. "Our padded stepped-hull design delivers unequaled speed and rough-water performance, plus it's very fuel-efficient with either single or twin engines.
