Yellowfin's flagship sets the standard for what a big, brawny, no-holds-barred center console can be. Powered by quad 400hp Mercury Verado outboards, the 42 can run circles around big diesel inboards in a Marlin Tournament (while burning a fraction of the fuel), but is equally at home competing in a local KDW competition. Its versatility in terms of the sheer number of tasks it does well defies comparison.
Whether you seek a large, family boat for weekend excursions in total safety and comfort, or a full-on tournament ready battlewagon, the 42 easily accommodates both duties. With an unmatched attention to detail in fit-and-finish, smooth dry ride, and performance, there is simply nothing else in the market to compare.
