This YOT 36 Powerboat Makes the Bimini Run Feel Fun and Easy

Two hours. That's all it takes to get from Fort Lauderdale to Bimini on a YOT 36. In this video, owner Stephen takes you along for the ride, sharing the real story of what it's like to own and use this boat. You will hear why this hull form matters when conditions change, how clearance and ride can transform the experience underway, and why “speed” and “economy” are not competing goals when the boat is truly on top of the water. Finally, we bring it back to the bigger picture: getting ready for a major show in Miami, what to expect, and a candid take on a softer market, plus why this boat still stands out on price, quality, and performance. If you are researching planing hulls, comparing fuel efficiency claims, planning a Bahamas run, or shopping boats ahead of Miami, this episode is built to help you cut through the noise.
