2024 Yar-Craft 210 TFX
Yar-Craft holds the reputation for the toughest professional walleye boat on the water. The new 210 TFX not only brings everything a competitive angler needs, but also embellishes it with family-friendly features to make it a fun machine for active families. The TFX accelerates like a rocket ship, with a 4.3-second hole shot and just 5.3 seconds to 30 mph. In good hands, top speed can hit 60 mph. For the serious upcountry angler, there’s a nifty trolling-motor panel that features a quick disconnect for the troller power wires, as well as a digital voltmeter to see available battery power at a glance. A bow panel can house an optional flush-mounted 12-inch graph, or you can opt for one flush- and one bracket-mounted—a new necessity with the popularity of live-scan sonar.
Dry storage on the 210 is dry, thanks to new soft-edge seals that also keep the lids from chattering. The center lid houses a three-tier rod locker and easy access to the trolling-motor batteries underneath the rods.
Behind the tempered-glass windshield is a deeper, wider cockpit than past models in response to Yar-Craft fans’ demand for more stomping space on deck. The helm’s flush-mounted 12-inch Garmin graph is boat- and engine-integrated for at-a-glance views of boat systems and engine performance. Yar-Craft uses the same unique hexagonal rim steering wheel as Bass Cat for better rough-water grip and control. The interior features swiveling pedestal-mounted seats with four total seat-pedestal sockets, so customizing the seating configuration is easy. Getting up to the bow casting platform is done via a padded step over a built-in cooler.
Aft, there’s an access hatch in the sole to get to the cranking battery and master on/off switch. The livewell resides just behind the cockpit, flanked by dry-storage lockers, with two more storage compartments aft of that.
Ample storage, unbeatable fishing features, and attractive, durable fit-and-finish make the 210 TFX the 21-footer to beat in the coming season.
