Pathfinder 2200 HPS Boat Review

http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/09/pathfinder-2200-live-baiting-bonanza/ For more boat reviews, visit www.boats.com. The 2200 TE has a pair of 4 0 gallon wells under the aft deck, plus a 15 gallon livewell up forward. Yowza, that's a lot more capacity than you'd usually hope for in a boat of this size—and it means you can haul dozens of pinfish, herring, shrimp, and/or whatever else you think those fish might be feeding on. If you are a live-baiting finaddict, you probably also spend a lot of time tossing a cast net. Or maybe two; one with small mesh for the white bait, and another with larger mesh for capturing pogies. No problem. The Pathfinder has two in-deck cast net stowage compartments. And there's dedicated stowage for rods and reels, this time in the form of locking rodboxes which complement the four flush-mounts, two horizontal racks under each gunwale, and the four vertical racks on either side of the console. In total, you can bring 26 rods aboard and have a place to put each and every one. Even tackle gets a special place, in the three-tray box that swings out from the front of the console. Room for improvement: the door swings closed too easily, and when accessing it in rough seas, I wish the hinges had some friction to slow the swing down. On the flip side, this arrangement does make it easy to remove the door and tackle trays completely, so you can access the inside of the console from up here.
