Re: Anyone know the 58 YF "Gus"? Nicest I've seen at least in pictures.
Just did stabilizers on a 53MY, Naiad for about $70,000 complete. John

Years ago I was I was making my spring run Palm Beach to Cape May. First leg I’d run to St Augustine outside. Just past Canaveral I came up on a 58YF. It was a typical Florida afternoon with an onshore breeze out of the east supplying the building thunderstorms on land. Maybe 3’-4’ on the beam at worst. Guy calls me and asks if he can fall behind me. I pull back to 16kts so he can keep up. I’m looking back watching this thing roll wondering if this thing is going to turn turtle. I’ve always wondered if the 58 rolled more than the 53 due to the length width ratio.

Does it? My 53' wallows pretty good in the right (wrong) conditions.

Is a gyro system less expensive than fins ?

Where would you put it? There is almost no place on centerline with existing tanks and hallway, etc.

On my 53 the aft water tank takes up the forward half of the centerline queen. The aft half would be, I think, large enough.

On my 58YF under the cockpit there is a water tank forward and a fuel tank aft, so Sky is pretty much right.

I appreciate all of the input, so for those that have fins, how much does it help alleviate the roll? I know it is impossible to eliminate all roll, but just how much would it help in the situation mentioned where the 58 fell in line with the lead boat?

GTW here is the listing, not sure why it is not on YW yet.

Ok,what about a 53 yachtfish vs 53 sport fish roll rate?
