2021 Pathfinder Pathfinder 2700 Open

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Pathfinder squeezed big-boat thinking into a true 27-footer. The wide beam carries forward, giving you a stable, level platform even when the crew crowds the bow. The helm layout keeps everything within easy reach, with clean sightlines when you’re running on plane or easing into a tight slip. Raised forward and aft casting decks transition smoothly, so you’re not tripping over changes in elevation in the heat of a cast. High gunnels aft add peace of mind when the seas get lumpy, yet the boat still feels open and athletic. It’s that rare rig that feels equally at home poling along a shoreline or running hard between offshore waypoints.

This 27-foot Pathfinder shines where the waterways blend from skinny marshes and creeks into open ocean. The hull has enough deadrise and weight to shoulder through afternoon chop, yet still drafts shallow enough to work the bays, edges and nearshore structure that hold fish year-round. You can slide under bridges and into tight backwaters in the morning, then comfortably push out to reefs, wrecks and nearshore bait schools by midday. The open layout lets you chase fish 360 degrees around the boat, while the elevated decks and clean bow make sight-fishing along grass lines, jetties and sandbars far more effective.
