Hello: I wrote this afternoon the following for this new(er) thread entitled
"2015.5 Yamaha Fishing Boat"
https://jetboaters.net/threads/2015-5-yamaha-fishing-boat.4502/
Thought y'all might wanna read this ....... so here goes:
"Well, well, well ... the predictions all read pretty good. However y'all did miss it.
I got this from a person who actually helped develop the boat concept and actual boat features.
Not to take anything away from Yamaha's big announcement, I can tell you for a fact that is a "bay boat" .... a shallow water fishing boat.
They went after the market served mostly by NauticStar and Pathfinder.
The market was studied heavily in the Southeast U.S. by engineers from Tennessee, of course, and also many from Japan.
As to specifics, I cannot comment. But this should help y'all to better understand WHERE this product fits.
Lastly, they are NOT going to "miss any market" with this offering.
They know EXACTLY the market they are going after, what is demanded as well as desired in this market, and how they can address it better than is currently being done.
Details ? All in due time on Feb 12th.
In the meantime, y'all play nicely in the sandbox.
For those of y'all who feel this is an unfounded tease, it ain't.
It comes from someone who spent countless hours working with Yamaha engineers and designers on this.
And with that, I will close, wishing everyone a grand weekend, upcoming. Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA"
@Gumbeaux replied with this:
"Hey, wait...I was almost maybe right. (If you guess enough, you can't miss...). I have a lake boat (this one) and a skiff at our place on the NC coast (Carolina Skiff). I see the huge boom of these bay boats both there and up here on Lake Lanier chasing stripers. People are fishing, tubing, wake skating, beaching, etc. behind these things. It seems like a good move...
C'mon Feb 12..."
And I replied back to him:
@Gumbeaux .......... you NAILED it, Son ! Nicely done too, I might add. Take Care, Mikey
That's it. Hoping you enjoy this. Best Wishes, Mikey Lulejian - Lake Oconee, GA
