| Pathfinder 2200 TRS Yamaha 150...It's ideal because:1. Center console lay out...game changer when it comes to fishing!! The only layout I'll ever fish! 2. Stand up driving...God gave us two fully independent, infinitely adjustable, extremely strong shock absorbers attached to our hips! They work much better than our poor backs! Plus the added visibility and feeling of control is great too. 3. Very shallow draft! this is handier than i thought it would be! 4. It's 22' long and 8'6" wide. Ridiculous amounts of storage and space! 5. It's powered by a 150 yamy! Best motor yamaha makes. I go 46mph loaded. Let me restate: 22' long 8'6" wide boat that gets 46 mph with a 150!! 6. 60 gallon fuel tank. I hate to pull the boat to gas up or, even worse, pay "on the water" prices. I can guide 6 days on Vermi w/o filling up! 7. Trim tabs. All boats of all sizes and layouts need em. Use em once and you'll instantly understand! 8. No carpet! Is it more slippery...yes, very slightly...not a problem. Carpet sucks! It holds dirt and water and is a pain to clean! It rots decks(even fiberglass) grows mold, catches hooks, transports AIS, ect...pros don't even come close to out weighing cons! 9. light boat and trailer. At 22' it trailers insanely better than my 20' Ranger! 20% BETTER FUEL ECONOMY! Aluminum Trailer.
I could go on and on but you get the idea! I love my Pathfinder! There are certainly other companies that make boats that match my list and an extremely large used market. They are generally called "bay boats" and we'll be seeing more and more of them around! P.S. Pathfinders are priced well below Ranger and even Lund! My boat retails in the mid-fourties! | |
