Congrats!

I would suggest ditching the Lee's CF riggers and buying Bly's.
I had the Lee's on our last boat and they did not hold up at all. The finish starting flaking off fairly soon after buying them.
We currently have Bly's 25' CF riggers on our 42 and they are very nice.

I would also go with a SeaDek pad under the gunwales instead of the carpet they use.

Congrats on the new boat.
You'll love the 42!!

I had Bly's collapsible on my last boat and they seemed a bit whippy, thought a one piece rigger would hold up better since I never have to trailer. Also like the internal line application.

Not sure on what carpet you are talking about, just got back from Miami show and the 42 there did not have anything under the gunwales.


Thanks

Also I upgraded to the new Verado 350 and larger hard top

Will the top have the back support legs? I would recommend adding if not. I will be interested in hearing how the seakeeper works, They are about to put one in a 35st Contender.

We are very excited to be on our first Yellowfin! Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

What does the seakeeper weigh for a yellowfin and how much does it cost to out in?

The Seakeeper 5 is the correct model for the Yellowfin 42; the complete assembly weighs 790lbs. Additonal information for this model can be found below

The unit has a retail price of $29,900. I am not sure what the option will cost from the factory as they must add in design and installation costs.

Thank you

$32,500 was what Yellowfin quoted in my build price

Bly fixed his 26' riggers and they are now 24' and change and much stiffer. I had one of the first sets and was brutally honest about the stiffness and he went back and redesigned them and now they are right.

I'll dig up some pics of the SeaDek under the gunwales that we had done.
It helps keep your reels/gaffs from banging against the fiberglass.
