    Re: Anyone know the 58 YF "Gus"? Nicest I've seen at least in pictures.

    Roll is reduced by about 80% . It is truly a game changer. Here on the west coast almost all of our running is in the ocean so stabilizers are very important here, probably not so much if you run Rivers or ICW , however they also work great when you get waked by fast boats. When we go places on San Diego Bay, which has no speed limit, I always turn on the stabilizers so I don’t have to turn into wakes. John

    Mine are on from when I leave the dock until I return. I don't know why anyone would turn them off even if its dead calm. If you have them, use them.

    There was one up in the panhandle that had 2 gyros. Someone on here bought it. This was a few years ago when boat price Re down. I remember thinking you could pull them out and have the boat for free. One was under the queen the other was forward somewhere

    Nice boat, but a little pricy. At least compared to what I just paid for mine, with MAN engines and KoopNautic stabilizers. But then again mine was hard to sell due to adventurous electrics.

    Its our boat. It was up in Maine for awhile, but on the way back to the keys now. It is presently under contract. It was near perfect when purchased, and now its even better. Bottom was recently painted, and the cutlass bearings replaced. The market for a boat in this condition, with the modernized interior, is very, very good. No stabilizers could be a problem depending on how you use the vessel. We lowered the rack for the tender a bit, but the tender is not being sold with the vessel anyways. Electronics were newish, but we put a new 15" Garmin chart plotter up top just for visibility, along with a fusion audio system. You could put a gyro back aft, but you would lose significant storage space. We don't like a busy deck, so that wasn't a possibility for us.

    Glad y'all like it.

    Beautiful YF. It is on the higher end of what is out there I have a few years before I retire but I am definitely tracking it.
