Marine Core Construction

 Aluminium Plate Boat

It’s what’s under the floor that makes Yellowfin Plate Boats some of the toughest on the market. The entire range is built with an internal sub frame, milk crate structure of longitudinal and latitudinal ribs to reinforce strength and help shape the Hull.

Each boat is constructed with vertical stringers each being 6mm thick and 5mm horizontal ribs for maximum strength and completed with a fully welded checker plate floor. To provide additional support to the self- draining checker plate floor a box section floor frame is also fitted.

Using extrusion specifically designed for marine products the chine and the keel are not simply welded but re-enforced by a total of 4 welds performed by an expert technician.
 
Constructed with 6mm plate bottom sheets of marine grade aluminium and 4mm topsides the Yellowfin Plate Range is built for serious fishing and we challenge you to find a tougher boat out there.
 

Auto Drain Deck

 Aluminium Plate Boat

Made for offshore action the entire Yellowfin Plate Range comes complete with specialised technology to ensure your deck stays dry no matter the weather conditions. The Auto Drain Deck expels water quickly and efficiently from the hull with a rear gutter which guides excess water to a lower chamber ready to be pumped out. Separate to the underfloor bilge pump Auto Drain Deck offers you another layer of safety. 

Offshore HD Hull

Aluminium Plate Boat

The ocean can turn at anytime and its then that you need a reliable and predictable riding hull to ensure an easy ride to your destination every time. Our Offshore HD Hull offers just that, and we stand by it as the epitome of open water performance.

Our seriously tough Offshore HD Hull is constructed with 6mm plate bottom sheets and complete with a sharp entry point and 19-degree variable deadrise Yellowfin boats handle swell with ease for a soft and reliable ride.  The Reverse Chine works to deflect spray away from the boat and enhances stability.
