2019 Pathfinder 2600 HpsSold

Step aboard and the first thing you’ll feel is how much fishing room this 26-footer gives you without feeling bulky or crowded. The wide casting decks, clean bow layout, and unobstructed cockpit let a crew move and cast freely when the bite turns on. The helm is thoughtfully arranged with plenty of space for additional electronics or custom touches. Underfoot, the nonskid and secure toe rail help when seas get choppy. Multiple livewells and insulated fish boxes are laid out so you’re not climbing over gear all day, and the high-performance hull pops up on plane quickly even when fully loaded. It’s a serious tournament platform that still feels easy to handle solo.

For the shallow bays, winding channels, and nearshore structure that define this region, the 2600 HPS hits a sweet spot. Its stepped hull is designed to run efficiently across open, wind-blown water yet still draft skinny enough to work shorelines, shell, and flats. The length and beam add stability when you’re drifting reefs or anchored on a tide rip, while the elevated decks give great sight lines for stalking fish in clear water. When weather allows, this model comfortably stretches out to nearshore rigs and bottom spots, then slides right back into the bay for a smooth ride home.
