Boat Review – Young 27 Florida Sportsman Editor
The concept of building “Hybrid” boats out of Bay boats is very popular lately and we are seeing more manufacturers building inshore boats with features to make them more “offshore capable” for anglers seeking dual purpose vessels. Young Boats has utilized a similar theory but has reverse engineered a true offshore hull design to also serve as a back country boat as well. The Young 27 is a pure blue water machine at first glance but performs remarkably well in shallow back country waters with the help of a 36V trolling motor and PowerPole. This is a highly customizable boat and Young will build to suit based on personal fishing style but the two models we tested both featured GemLux Carbon fiber outriggers

Marlin Fishing Tips for Center Console Boats
Mention a center console among the sport-fishing teams in the Gulf of Mexico, and I guarantee the words “monkey boat” won’t be too far behind. But the monkey boats of old — once considered large at 28 feet — are no longer just for the weekend warrior; many of the teams fishing aboard them are downright competitive on the billfish tournament circuits. The advances in engineering — both in boats and outboards — have evolved this segment of offshore machines to points once thought inconceivable. Add improvements in tackle and electronics, and you can bet center consoles will keep showing up in the winner’s circle.
