2022 Pathfinder 2400 TRS

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide beam and clever layout give this 24-footer the feel of a bigger boat. The forward lounge seating with removable cushions turns the casting deck into a chill spot for family and guests, while the aft jump seats fold away to open up a broad fishing platform when it’s time to get serious. Plenty of insulated storage keeps gear stowed and decks uncluttered, and the finished bilge and wiring runs show the kind of attention to detail you want in a serious bay boat. The helm ergonomics, wheel-to-throttle placement, and clear sightlines make long days at the wheel surprisingly relaxed.

Shallow flats, winding channels, and open swells all show up in the same day here, and this hull is built for exactly that mix. The draft lets you work tight, skinny water for tailing fish, yet the pronounced bow flare and deadrise transition soak up midday chop when the breeze kicks up. Quick hole shot and responsive trim mean you can jump from spot to spot between tides, while the generous livewell capacity and fishboxes support full-crew outings. Add in family-friendly seating and shade, and it easily pivots from dawn patrol on the banks to sandbar afternoons and sunset cruises, all without feeling like a compromise.
