At 27 feet overall, it’s a perfect Northwest boat. Big enough to feel solid and safe, yet still easy to maneuver in tight quarters and find a slip in even the most popular harbors on holiday weekends. It’s been ideal for family days on Lake Washington, with seating for up to 10 people, plus a proper head with macerator and holding tank—a feature usually found on much larger (and slower) boats. It’s equally comfortable in saltwater. Quick day trips to Gig Harbor, Bainbridge, or Poulsbo are a breeze, and longer runs north toward the Canadian Gulf Islands have been effortless. The Carolina-style bow flare keeps the ride smooth and dry, and on calm days the boat will run right around 47 mph. This is a boat you don’t see come up for sale very often—largely because of how well it’s been cared for, both cosmetically and mechanically. All service has been performed by Yamaha-certified technicians only, with all maintenance records on-hand since new (likely the only boat that can list that).
