Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
How much is the BMT weight with full fuel and all your usual gear on board? Sounds like a very good price for a new glass boat of that size.
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
Yaltas have always been a good value for dollar package. They just don't bother with all the little finishing touches that add a lot of fit out time and thus cost. As a dollar conscious way of getting a new offshore capable rig they would be hard to beat.
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
How does the longevity of the hulls compare to the other, more common brands? They hold up alright, no cracks in the gel coat appearing?
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
It is just under 2 tonne BMT and fuel. with gear it might push over 2 slightly. But it doesnt have the breakaway system, so was built to be under the 2t mark.
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
Seems fine to me. I bought mine from "the boat place" which is the same location they are built so I was able to see some that were half finished. The workmanship is great. The hull is as good as it was when i bought it. I only have some gel coat cracking on the bottom of the fiberglass seats which is to be expected because of the flex. apart from that, good as gold.
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
Seriously good handling boat. Surprised me just how good they were. Check out this guy he drives them very hard.

Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
I Actually watched that video before I bought it, not that that was the buying point for me haha. the only thing I changed on mine was in the cabin up the top there is a small compartment which has a drainage hole if you ever get water in that very front section of the cabin. when you have a lot of bloody water down the back of the boat it can slosh up the front and stink out the cabin. I fibreglassed over the hole and fixed that issue.

Either that or they use a specially calibrated measure to ease inadequacy issues.:P
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
Not too sure any cracking is "to be expected" of it was new, and it has started to crack, I would be getting them to fix it, thousands of boats have seats and are not cracked....
Re: +6m Yalta Craft boats
They also make a damn good pie
