She's BEAUTIFUL, BODACIOUS and MESMERIZING!!!!,......and the boat is friggin' spectacular too!!! Congratulations you guys, and WOW what a cool design!!! A bit Bay boat, a bit Offshore, a bit trip maker and cruiser and ALL FISHING!!! I cannot wait to see what kind of adventures and shenanigans you guys get up to now that you have a boat that can do almost everything, and I suspect do it well!! I'm honestly so happy for you Clay & Stephanie, and I imagine that Zack must have a pretty big smile across his face too. So what are you going to name her? I know equipment like this amazing boat aren't cheap, and I'm not going to ask, I'm just going to say Merry Christmas to everyone involved with Life By The Bow and AVAIL GEAR!! Will there be a Christmas episode, and if I may ask, can you show the outfitting, the servicing and break in as you shake down the new boat? I don't know of too many channels that show all that stuff. Take care and Congratulations again!!! - Dave

I’ve been looking at a Whaler, Dorado, Gause Built & Caymas for half a year. I watched this episode and bought the Pathfinder 2400 Open. I’m glad I chanced upon your channel. I feel comfortable I made the right choice. Thank you..!!! UPDate: Design can't be beat. So many things have gone wrong and the dealer I purchased boat from I the first time in 60 years of boating the worst dealership when it comest to warranty work and a lot has gone wrong. One other suggestion is don't suggest 8' power poles because they will not hold the boat in 4' + when we need to use them for fishing spoils and especially casting for bait fish. doesn't handle well near offshore waters 20' to 65'. emergancy anchor even covered in rubber and tennis balls poked hole in bow. were selling it. Took a huge hit on it but live and learn even at my retirement age.

There’s a few companies doing the hybrid/ open bay boat style. East cape is coming out with a 25 open available for order now I believe. Young boats is a small custom boat builder and I’ve seen people option their 24 gulf shores with an open layout. I love the hybrid category of boats and open floor plan. We’re buying a young 27 hybrid. Similar to your pathfinder buts it’s a little bigger has twins and drafts 16 inches. But it’ll still rock dual power poles, Minn Kota a tower. And JACKPLATES.

This is the last trip in it to say the least. Just not for me. I’m in absolute love with that open 2400. W/tower. And will be quickly back in the pathfinder family. I just want to see one in person first. Having worked in the boat industry for many many years and an avid fisherman, I’m very impressed with this floor plan.
