Yellowfin 17 Carbon Elite First Glance

Super lightweight skiff features new hull, original deck.

With the 17 Carbon Elite, Yellowfin has built a new, cutting-edge version of its smallest skiff.

Yellowfin also built this new hull with a single-step running surface for increased fuel efficiency and performance.
