For those into serious game fishing and offshore escapades – the Yellowfin Centre Cabin delivers the epitome of plate boating – breaking the boundaries of time and serving up unlimited potential as a fully equipped blue-water machine.
Boasting 360-degree fishability with its seamless helm design and spacious yet discrete bow bunk, which can be extensively customised to feature long-haul essentials including an electric toilet, it is the perfect allrounder.
Built tough to go the distance, the Centre Cabin is designed afoot the industry renowned Offshore HD hull – perfected since the brand’s inception to deliver an impeccably reliable and predictable ride.
With 6mm plate bottom sheets, crafted to form its sharp entry point and 19-degree variable deadrise, Yellowfin boats cut through swell with ease to deliver impressively soft performance.
The carefully crafted reverse chine deflects spray away from the boat, while its wide beam enhances stability.
Backed by decades of boating experience and expertise with a forward-focus on world-best design execution, Yellowfin have conceptualised a sub-floor framework to deliver ultimate strength.
Each boat is constructed using vertical stringers – each being 6mm thick – and 5mm horizontal ribs for maximum strength, then completed with a fully welded checker plate floor.
Australia and New Zealand commercial sales manager Drew Jackson said, “Yellowfin plate boats are built by the best for the best.”
“Each model is hand crafted with over 150-hours invested into each Yellowfin package for the utmost quality and design excellence,” Drew said.
“We are proud of what goes into our boats and what comes out of the factory, as there’s nothing like a Yellowfin – we are innovative and reliable, with a wide range of products to meet the needs of every offshore application.”
“Yellowfin plate boats come standard with all the essentials for stress-free straightforward boating and are available with an array of additional options for easy customisation to build that perfect boat.”
The 7600 Centre Cabin is built standard with a long list of sought-after features, including trim tabs, self-draining floor, scuppers, hydraulic steering, a live bait tank, strike chairs with storage boxes and more.
Optional extras include, but are not limited to, a bait and fishing station, dive ladder, LED lights, drum winch, sound system and speakers and deck wash.
Thanks to the Platinum Pack, optioning up with all the bells and whistles at an affordable price has never been easier.
Featuring a whopping maximum horsepower rating of 300, a person capacity of seven, 320-litre fuel tank and 6mm marine-grade plate sides, the 7600 Centre Cabin is a force to be reckoned with.
Standing as the largest of six Centre Cabin models within the Yellowfin range, with the smallest at 5.8m, the line-up is designed to meet the needs of every boater and every lifestyle.
Commonly known for its game-changing blue-water fishing application, the Centre Cabin has also been seen traversing the Australian landscape as a comfortable overnighter on long-haul trips due to its vast storage capacity and cabin area.
Plus, a trusted vessel to hit up some of the world’s most spectacular dive spots, right here in Australia.
The Centre Cabin holds stature as one of seven different model configurations within the Yellowfin line-up, offered alongside the Southerner Hard Top Cabin, Hard Top Cabin, Folding Hard Top, Cabin, Centre Console and Rear Console.
