New 17 YF build started

[CapTom]

Been awhile but finally getting my new 17 Yellowfin built. Here are a few of the boat getting started. Went with the Stars and Strips Blue and Blue/White Hull and deck. Rigging a Yamaha 70 hp 4 stroke for power.

Sold the 24, so I just will have the skiff for now.

you will love the engine, it is a little noisy for a 4 stroke but I think it is because it turns up to 6300 rpms. Make sure you prop it so at wot it turns over 6000. Makes a big difference.

Thanks tripleplay, I have been told that it needs to run to perform. Looking forward to fishing her for sure.
