I usually sit on the tube opp side to tiller, Mrs on middle of front seat, 16yr old on rear seat just offsetting my balance and lightweight 14yr old wherever she wants which is usually on the off side to me front tube just as the bow curve starts. We did notice when it was a bit bumpy performance and handling was far better if I knelt on the floor centrally in front of the outboard and everyone else kept as central as possible on the seats.

Perhaps everyone else already knows but I've just noticed that Yam must be built in the Zodiac factory. Lots of parts and construction elements the same as my previous 2001 Fastroller 340.

Yes, Most Yam's SIBs are Zodiacs. You can tell by the serial number on a YAM - same manufacturer code as Zodiac (I think) and made in France.

Yamaha are now out of the SIB resale business I think.
