Needs a cuddy for that doesn't it.... LOL
 
I think it does! So if it has a trolling motor, a tower, and a cabin, it fits with @Julian 's definition of fish/ski/hump! lol
 
But to be honest, a "hump" boat would be ok with me too, if it increases the activity!

I'm confused (as per normal).

Is a "Hump Boat" sumptin' you only use on Wednesdays ?????????????

LOL ............. We don't know alot out here on the Lake .......... LOL !@
Best Wishes to all ........... Havin' some FUN ! Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA
 
I think it is Fish/Ski/Hybrid

Not sure that would be a good idea, at least not for the JBN crew.

Imagine the monster audio systems some guys would try to run on a 300 lb lithium ion hybrid battery set!

"Oh yeah, my system has 380,000 watts!"

I believe the hump referenced is in regard to procreation not the middle of the week. If so the boat needs to have a bed/be an overnighter.

WOW, @Ronnie ........... procreation is such a B-I-G word !
 
I've seen the 310 first video at the start of thread on a lake in GA last year.
 
I dont think it is going to be fishing anything, their motors dominate most of that market, im betting a pontoon or cruiser.
 
It'd be really cool if it was a cruiser of some sort that was trailerable with a generator and a\c.

That's gonna be a big ass boat to fill those needs. I don't see yamaha redesigning their pumps so the overall weight on the surprise edition should be similar to the 240 series.
 
Maybe a customizable boat...
 
These guys think they know what is going on....

"– Yamaha is introducing a new fishing boat… a jet-powered fishing boat. This isn’t coming from Yamaha Marine (outboards) or one of the fishing boat builders they own, but from Yamaha Watercraft, which builds jet boat bowriders, and runabouts. Will this one be a contender to serious anglers? Obvious draft advantages aside, we’ll see…"
 
So if this is accurate....will it be a center console or a modification of the current layout?

I hope for them they go with the 24' hull with the keel and rudder (sorry...articulating keel), and add trolling motor mount in the bow, bait wells, fish storage, wash down.....

The front and rear of a jet boat sure could make some nice platform for fishing from! Add the keel and rudder, with trolling motor capability and it could be a cool boat!
 
Should be interesting too se what they roll out with.
 
24' center console/T top with wake pylon and speakers, twin motors with revolutionary 180 degree swing jets at no wake speed ......... and we shall call it the 24S
 
I'm heading out to the Miami Boat show this year, will be cool to see what Yamaha has up close.
 
so now it's "Big"....
Is this picture taken from an angle much higher off the water?
Are there multiple new boats? fun to speculate.

The wake in the picture looks nothing like the wake from any of there dual engine boats, the streams are to far apart. I wonder if the picture is just a generic picture and not representative of the new boat. Time will tell.
