2017 Pathfinder 2300 HPS

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the wide bow deck and clean cockpit layout keep anglers out of each other’s way when the bite turns on. The 2300 HPS carries its beam forward, giving you a surprisingly stable platform when you’re working multiple lines or poling shallow edges. Storage is generous, with room to tuck away cast nets, safety gear, and tackle so the decks stay uncluttered. The helm has a comfortable, almost “big boat” feel, with clear sightlines when you’re running in a chop. Underway, the stepped hull design helps soften the ride and stay dry, even when quartering into windblown waves.

This 2300 HPS shines where you’re constantly shifting between skinny water and open bay. The hull’s shallow draft lets you slide across oyster bars and grass flats to chase redfish or trout at first light, then hop out to deeper channels and nearshore structure when the tide drops. It’s compact enough for tucked-away ramps and dry storage facilities, yet still has the length and freeboard to handle afternoon sea breezes and boat traffic. Quick hole shot, efficient cruise, and easy maneuvering around docks make it a practical choice for everyday use in this diverse, tide-driven fishery.
