Survey watch points

Draft and weight figures disagree across sources

high risk · unresolved · dimensions

Manufacturer omits draft and publishes approximate 13,000 lb with power; Sport Fishing 2011 lists hull draft 2 ft and dry 14,500 lb; Marlin 2011 lists hull draft 22″; buyers guides reuse 13,000 lb plus power as dry weight.

Draft and weight publications for the Yellowfin 39 do not line up on one figure or one measurement basis.

The current manufacturer page (yellowfin-39-offshore-model-page) omits draft and publishes Approximate Weight 13,000 pounds with power and light fuel. Sport Fishing Mag 2011 (sport-fishing-yellowfin-39-2011) lists HULL DRAFT 2 ft and 14,500 lb dry. Marlin 2011 (marlin-yellowfin-39-2011) lists Draft 22″ (hull). Salt Water Sportsman 2023 and Marlin 2020 buyers guides reuse 13,000 lb. plus power under a Dry Weight label, and Seakeeper Ride’s 2026 report (seakeeper-ride-yellowfin-39-offshore-2026) lists Displacement 13,000 lbs.

Canonical research keeps conservative root draft_ft at 2 from Sport Fishing Mag 2011, leaves dry_weight_lb unpublished, records the draft disagreement in conflicting_fields, and does not invent a reconciled dry weight.

Measure or confirm hull draft datum (engines up/down, load) from builder documentation or survey.
Do not treat Approximate Weight / Dry Weight plus power / Displacement 13,000 lb labels as interchangeable dry weight without paperwork.

Fuel capacity and max HP disagree across eras

medium risk · unresolved · documentation

Current Yellowfin page and 2023 SWS list 564 gal and 1,800 max HP; Marlin 2020 lists 1,650 max HP; 2011 Sport Fishing and Marlin reviews list 550 gal and 1,400 max HP.

Opened sources do not share one fuel capacity or maximum-horsepower figure across the Yellowfin 39 / 39 Offshore publication history.

The current manufacturer model page (yellowfin-39-offshore-model-page) and Salt Water Sportsman 2023 buyers guide (saltwater-sportsman-yellowfin-39-offshore-2023) list 564 gallons fuel and 1,800 max HP. Marlin’s 2020 buyers guide (marlin-yellowfin-39-offshore-2020) agrees on 564 gal fuel but prints Max HP: 1,650. Early 2011 instrumented reviews from Sport Fishing Mag (sport-fishing-yellowfin-39-2011) and Marlin (marlin-yellowfin-39-2011) list 550 gal fuel and 1,400 max HP.

Canonical research keeps current manufacturer fuel 564 and max-HP option 1,800, records the disagreements in conflicting_fields, and does not average tank size or horsepower ratings. Confirm hull paperwork before treating any disputed figure as installed.

Confirm installed fuel-tank volume from builder paperwork or inspection before range planning.
Confirm rated max HP and installed outboard package against the hull’s model-year documentation.
