Yalta Owners Club-aka-Roll Call

[Ashtom]

You can sleep 2 people in the bunk, comfortably is borderline. it depends how big you are I guess. I have slept in it solo a few time. I am 6'1" and i can do it fine, so the cabin is over 6ft long, but as you say, some of the cabin space is given up for the huge deck space. For the amount of times you are realistically going to sleep 2 people in it, i wouldn't let that put you off, as it can be done sure.

Thanks wildfish. Sounds fine. We are looking for a combo fishing and family cruising. I'm 5'10" and wife less, so should be okay. Children will probably take it and I'll be on the cockpit floor anyway!

yeah should be ok. there isnt much head room up the pointy end, but you can live with it.

Hi to anyone who has a Yalta 2200 fisherman. What is the space like in the bunks? Is it long and wide enough for 2 to sleep comfortably? I can't find any specs on bunk length. I know they have a massive cockpit, but wondered if that meant the bunks are short?

Me and the mrs used to sleep ok in my old 555 Yalta. Same size cabin as the 2200. Trick was to sleep with your heads astern.

Hey E which one is the tabs control?

[BigE]

Hi Tenzing
Lower switch near the steering wheel

Just a thought,
After youve had a bit of time to get used to the boat, i reckon you will be happier with the trim tab contols up on the dash where your right hand can easily tap them at will.
You need them a lot. you dont need the ignition much at all. ( a straight swap and some flow coat repair will do the trick)
The anchor winch is a rarely used control but your switches are used a lot.
You have the stereo up where you can see it , but you cant see the vhf..

I know it all seems like a lot of trouble , but it may make your life a lot easier.

Luckily a good mate gave me all the same advice. I just coudnt fit the vhf on the dash.

Cheers

are you happy with the ride and performance Big E? nice looking rig.
Also does the 1kw transducer also od the side imaging or do you need a seperate txdcr for that?

i was thinking the same thing myself, hopefully there is enough wiring in the loom to not have cut any wires.

separate xducers for 1kw and side scan

Just picked up my replacement for the Whittley 1750 / Optimax 115. Yalta Craft 2200 Fisherman. I see that this boat has been previously featured here. Well I am the happy new owner and am looking forward to getting it covered in fish guts.

Hey Ronald, you have to use the go advanced button to add pictures. You need to upload them to AF first and then attach to your post.

That should fix the photo attachments problem. Thanks for the advice ozynorts.

Now just need to (a) get my shed extended and (b) make the rocket launcher fold. I think I have a plan for both.

[ozynorts]

Nice one Ronald. I was keeping an eye on that boat just in case... Good pick up.
If your headed up to 1770 give us a shout out.
