2024 Pathfinder Pathfinder 2700 Open

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how clean and thoughtfully laid out the deck is—everything has a place, and nothing’s in the way when it’s time to move fast. The helm seating and forward lounge space make it easy to switch from hardcore fishing to a relaxed sunset cruise without feeling like you’re on a stripped-out tournament rig. High freeboard and deep walkways keep crew feeling secure when the seas stand up, and the finished bilges and compartment interiors speak to the level of care in the build. It’s a boat that feels bigger than 27 feet, but still nimble enough to spin on a dime around a school of bait.

This 27-foot open platform shines in waters where you may start the morning poling along oyster bars and end the afternoon running to an offshore wreck. The hull’s draft and stepped running surface let you float over the skinny stuff yet still maintain efficient cruise speeds in open chop. Abundant livewell capacity and rod storage suit anglers who work multiple spots in a day, while the elevated casting decks and wide beam give inshore crews room to spread out. When it’s time to run home against a stiff breeze, the solid, resin-infused build and sharp entry keep the crew dry and confident.
