Pathfinder 2300 hps

Skip Lyshon of Maverick spent the afternoon with me, putting the boat through its paces, and the difference between this hull and the standard hull found on previous Pathfinder models became apparent immediately. When you nail the throttle on this boat, it comes on plane with almost no bow rise and accelerates very quickly. The F Yamaha on our test boat provided what seemed like the ideal combination of speed and efficiency, and once we reached adequate speed to allow the step to do its thing and ventilate the hull, the boat really took off. At 4, rpm, we made just under 50 mph, a remarkable cruise speed that will get you just about anywhere you need to be in a hurry. Depending on water conditions, you can choose any cruise from 3, rpm on up to just under wide-open throttle The step in the hull obviously creates new levels of performance unattainable in previous models. We spent considerable time carving tight turns at high speed to see how the boat would react, but it handled everything we could throw at it predictably and safely. From a layout standpoint, the HPS looks much like other Pathfinders, with tons of dry storage space, wide casting decks and plentiful livewell capacity. My impression was that the freeboard on this boat seemed slightly higher than on non-stepped models, but not enough to create any issues when fishing. A gallon livewell with bottom-to-top drainage and a hidden standpipe sits on the centerline in the aft deck. Suffice it to say that you can carry a lot of gear with you on this boat.

I have been there since Day 1 and I hope to finish my career in those brands.

By Stevenb October 9, in Pathfinder. I just sold my Hewes and will be looking to move into the bay boat game here shortly. That would make me boatless for quite a few more months though while I save towards the difference. So I guess my question is, is the 23 HPS really k better than the 22? I primarily fish inshore but will be looking to do more offshore runs in the 30 mile range as well as frequent Keys trips. Is it that much more with the same power? It shows to be a foot longer and is stepped and has a bustle so it's probably fast but I haven't been on one.

Add to that more cockpit and deck space, walk around gunwales and increased storage for everything from castnets to 9. The result is a jaw-dropping rocket with a light-tackle payload capacity that will clear out your tackle room. Plus, the HPS is now built using vacuum infused construction, making it stronger, faster, lighter and shallower. Florida Sportsman. Saltwater Sportsman. I started with Hewes Boats in and to my great fortune, Scott Deal purchased that brand from Bob Hewes in the early s. I was there in the beginning when the Pathfinder Boat Company was started. In two days, we caught 5 bonefish and 60 redfish, of which 48 of the redfish were caught on fly which is the highest score ever in the Redbone.

Far left, the large storage compartment can hold tackle, foul-weather clothing, cameras, and other gear.
