Pathfinder Boats Unveils New 2400 TRS for Model Year 2023

FORT PIERCE, FL, August 15, 2022 – Pathfinder Boats, built by Maverick Boat Group, Inc. (MBG), announced the latest addition to its comprehensive bay boat lineup with its new, completely redesigned 2400 TRS for model year 2023. Modeled after Pathfinder’s popular 2600 TRS, the new 2400 TRS is designed to be a family-friendly bay boat equally at home at the sandbar, in a serious fishing tournament, or on an elegant sunset cruise.

To achieve this level of versatility, Pathfinder combined a deeper cockpit with a 9-foot beam and incorporated a console big enough to fit an optional head, all firsts in a Pathfinder under 26 feet. The higher freeboard offers more big water security for all ages, and the wider beam creates more stability at rest and more room both for creature comforts and fishing features. The boat has dedicated seating for 8 passengers including integrated, forward-facing bow backrests that flush into the casting deck, deluxe Lebroc helm seats that are independently convertible, and a rear bench seat with a flip down backrest. The 2400 TRS offers additional family features such as a sky pylon, forward and aft shades, a teak bow table, and an upgraded JL Marine stereo system with amplifier.

True to Pathfinder’s fishing-focused heritage, the 2400 TRS gives a nod to the serious angler with a dedicated, 120-quart fishbox, a 38-gallon livewell with the option for a matched 38- gallon releasewell, and rod holder space for up to 24 rods ranging from fly rods to conventional gear to inshore spinning tackle. The forward and aft casting decks are free from obstructions and large enough for multiple anglers. Advanced fishing options include a second station option with full controls, an extended shaft trolling motor for GPS anchoring in chop, and dual Power Poles. The boat is built on a single-stepped hull for increased big water performance, speed, and fuel efficiency.

“We’re serious anglers and we have families, so we know what’s required in a boat that satisfies everybody. If one thing falls short, somebody is going to rather stay home. We think the new 2400 TRS checks all the boxes, and we can’t wait to see full[HJ1]  families out on the water, enjoying all that it has to offer” commented Charlie Johnson, Director of Sales and Marketing for Maverick, Hewes, and Pathfinder.

Don’t like “full families” and then “using it to the fullest” consider “We think the new 2400 TRS checks all the boxes and we can’t wait to see full families out on the water, enjoying all that it has to offer.”

Pathfinder Boats Announces Second New Model for 2023 With New 2400 Open

FORT PIERCE, FL, August 16, 2022 – Pathfinder Boats, built by Maverick Boat Group, Inc. (MBG), has added another new offering to its 2023 model year lineup with the unveiling of the 2400 Open. The 2400 Open follows the recent introduction of the new 2400 TRS. Both models share the same high-performance, single-stepped hull.

The new 2400 Open is a fishing- focused, smaller sibling of Pathfinder’s successful 2700 Open. The “Open” describes the stern area that foregoes the traditional aft casting deck commonly found in bay boats and instead carries the cockpit fully to the transom. This gives a center console feel to the stern fishing area and allows the angler to fish out of the back of the boat while securely staying in the deeper cockpit.  The bow area maintains a more typical forward casting deck for inshore and nearshore sight-fishing opportunities afforded by the boat’s 15-inch draft. The intent of this hybrid layout is to provide anglers a versatile platform for effectively targeting a wide variety of fish in different environments and throughout the water column.

Vacuum-infused using MBG’s VARIS (Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion System), the 2400 Open combines technologically advanced materials with a single-stepped hull and 6-inch jackplate for fast, fuel-efficient open water performance, allowing anglers to cover lots of water quickly.  A 9- foot beam provides a spacious fishing area that incorporates a 40-gallon helm seat livewell, a 25-gallon aft pitchwell for quick access to baits, three insulated fishboxes that can be macerated, and holders for 20 rods, including under-gunwale storage with tip protection tubes for two fly rods. The console can take up to 16-inch electronics and can be optioned with a pumpout head. Helm seat shade comes in the form of either a hardtop or a full second station with controls. Additional options include dual power poles, gelcoat color-matched components, an extended shaft GPS trolling motor, and faux teak decking.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of fishing is trying new water, learning new techniques, targeting different species and expanding your fishing knowledge. The ability to become a more versatile angler is most often limited by your boat. The 2400 Open breaks down that barrier and gives you inshore, nearshore and offshore access from top to bottom.” commented Charlie Johnson, Director of Sales and Marketing.
