REGULATOR, CONTENDER OR YELLOWFIN??

[Branch Office]

Over the past year I had sea trials on each of these. All are nice. I would probably go with the Regulator of these choices. Ride, room, space etc reasons.
I ended up with a 2008 31' Oceanmaster. Not the fastest of your choices, but solid as standing on land. Priced in at 160ish; add another 10k for electronics.
I read many of the posts with triple engines and am impressed. I get about 30 kts with twin e-tec 250's burning about 21 GPH.
Bottom line, you could not go wrong with any of the three listed above.

Is there any way I can get in on this thread?

We are building cold molded cats that will impress, guaranteed. We have replaced a fleet of cats down in Venice, La because the captains needed speed and a good ride. They looked at everything from Invincible, Yellowfin, Worldcat, Prowler, you name it they rode it and were offered sweet deals from several builders.

They purchased the Freeman 33 for its incredible ride, speed, and fuel economy. Top end is only 56mph, but cruising in the ocean at 40mph burning a mere 27 gallons per hour with full charter load is unheard of in a 34' boat with an 11' beam. To boot, it is easily trailered with a 3/4ton diesel since it only weighs 9000lbs full up.

Of course you are welcomed here. We have some no shows. Seats are available in the front row. Your Freeman Cat looks great by the way.

what didnt Roni not like about the jarrett bay on page one?seems like A good boat to me!

well B.A. you are correct on the 31 om i have one same set upwith 250s e-tecs and one tough boat i can say for sure running it all throught the carribean in some mean water but but the 36 CH is a damn good rig but in all id think id half to take the y/f for overall performance in the 36 foot.

i have not run the reg and from what ive read it does damn good but iam speed junkie and i like the C.H. and the y/f but i can say that the contender is one hell of a battle wagon period.. i have not had the pleasure of running an invencible but from what i hear it a killer also heard the S.H. is a bad ass boat so really it is up to how big your pocket is good luck

I would say Regulator is probably the driest of those boats mentioned as well as an outstanding ride ,not to take anything away from the others ,but the Regulator 32 is a sweet boat with big seas handling capabilities .
