That helps when docking or heaving the anchor up and on the subject of stability Ive an old pic somewhere of three heavy each around 100kg men standing on the rail of Varuna Pathfinder number one and she still has the top strake clear of the water.
Pathfinder boats in rough water. Rated for2 adults and will accommodate up to a 10hp. The boat has previously been swinging a 19 three blade Solas and while the speed was slightly up the handling in the rough water wasnt as good according to Stuart. You already knew this was coming.
High Performance Step HPS Vacuum-infused VARIS stepped hulls that emphasize speed lightness and high-end running performance for covering lots of ground with fishing-focused topside amenities. No dealers near by for YF24 but would have loved to test. With a 225-hp Yamaha the Pathfinder the lightest of our boats leaped onto plane and ran smooth and dry through a tight bay chop.
The result is the Pathfinder 2400 TRS. We got a chance to run the new boat at Caribee Boat Sales. A combination of speed draft range and overall fishability make it the perfect redfish tournament boat.
When a boat floats on 10 inches of water with no water in the live well and does 60 mph with 3 guys and equipment it does not take long to run from the popular destinations of Florida Keys into the backcountry of the Everglades. Higher sides a deeper cockpit and added width gunwale to gunwale add room and security while still keeping this boat a shallow water fishing machine. As it is all above the waterline it will not have any effect in calm water except increasing the internal volume of the boat and providing better structural engineering.
Starts from MSRP 75156 w VF250 LA Take the best features across the whole Pathfinder line-up add in some new ones and then mold them all together. I tested the Shearwater 25 Triton 240 Pathfinder 2400 and Blackjack along with the Bluewave 2400. In the 30ft category Regulator still goes strong with the 34.
This is a development of multiple chines and V-pods working together to break solid water into vapour to soften the ride as well as providing gradual lift. Rule of thumb with rough water is that generally the bigger the boat the better. The Skeeter was also great to fish out of.
