Pathfinders are a beautiful bay boat
They definitely are. They are also priced well
Clay : I am average guy I enjoy it so much when u go over the basics in detail ...
Just take your time with boat and gear it is very important and full of knowledge ....thank u Clay.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the support on the channel.
Great walkthrough Clay! Love the pathfinder! Congrats to you and Stephanie on the news of your new daughter on the way!! I have a ten your old daughter and she is such a daddy’s girl. She loves watching RUclips videos on fishing with me and is a big fan of you guys and the Gale Force Twins.
Thank you! That's awesome to hear. Glad she enjoys fishing videos along side of you. I hope that my daughter enjoys it as much as I do. Thanks for the support on the channel.
really is the swiss army knife of boats in this size. Pathfinder pretty knocked it out of the park with this model.
They did a fabulous job. Appreciate you watching the video!
So great to see you and Stephanie at Nautical Flea Market. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you three.
It was a pleasure meeting you! We appreciate all the support. Looking forward to the future.
God bless!
We love that pathfinder!
Great talking to you guys at the nautical market! 🤙
It was an absolute pleasure! We appreciate it 😊
Great walkthrough and you really did a good job with rigging and choosing your electronics and it’s not over done and has the right amount of everything.
Thanks so much! We appreciate it. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel as always.
The new Yamaha full maneuverability, the steering, the binnacles, the throttle response and how it keeps the engine speed where you have it is all amazing. I had the Merc joystick system before, granted it was gen 1, but I have been so impressed with these Yamaha 300s
It’s incredible to think where technology has taken them. It sure makes boating more enjoyable.
Beautiful boat ! Had some interest a couple years back for a pathfinder bayboat but read many clients saying they had issues on hull delamination so went elsewhere !
We have had a great experience with ours. Appreciate you watching.
Thanks for the info on your boat. When I get to Florida this summer I will be in the market for one and all this info really helps out.
Glad it was helpful! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
You would be hard pressed to find a review by someone who has the real life experience that Clay has, I appreciate his thoroughness and detail!
Thanks so much! We appreciate the great feedback!
Jeez can’t believe some people don’t like a good boat review 😳 u my friend are awesome 👏 keep the good stuff coming!🤗🏄🏽♂️⛺️😁
Thanks so much my friend! I appreciate the support 🙌
I looked at the 2400 Open, very cool boat. Living on the NC coast, I like the inshore fishing but also like trolling, shark fishing and slow trolling live bait for freshwater striper when I go inland. The open area for trolling with downriggers and pulling planer boards beats trolling off of my 24' bay boat (with rear casting deck) all day. Depending on the market, thinking about replacing my bay boat next year, leaning hard toward the 2400 Open. The only con's I see with this boat is lockable rod storage when traveling. I go to Marathon Fl a couple times a year and up to Smith Mtn lake VA. Very nice to store 10 rods in lockable compartment overnight instead of unloading the boat every day. I do wonder about the ride, hope to find a dealer with a demo to go on a sea trial this year. On video, they don't look as smooth in a chop as some other bay boats. My Sportsman 247 is much lighter with a 15 degree deadrise, exceptional ride in rough water and very dry.
We really enjoy the boat. I can agree with the rod storage, it would be nice to have that feature on the boat. We had it on our 2300 and loved it. It makes traveling easier. Contact your local pathfinder dealer for a sea trial. Thanks so much for the support on the channel!
I recently met Clay, after having seen some videos uploaded on TikTok, I recognized him. He is very very genuine and I’d take his input knowing he’s a professional.
I appreciate the kind words! Thanks so much for all the support.
Great video. Would like to see a video on how you use the forward facing sonar in saltwater. I’m familiar with it n freshwater but curious to see how you use it.
Thanks Bruce! We will definitely have updates on how to use it as we become more familiar with it. It's still very new to us. I appreciate you following along on our channel.
Living the dream.....😀😀😀
Thanks so much for following along on our adventures.
A boat opens up a whole new adventure you can’t have with a car . No matter what size they are fun and can be great for family outings !
Do your homework and be smart with your purchase !
Nice presentation & boat ! ❤
Well said! Couldn't agree more. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the thorough walk through. I learned things about the boat I didn't know. I previously owned a Sportsman 247 Bay Boat, which I liked, but see a lot of things I like better on the Pathfinder
Thanks for the support! Glad you enjoyed the walkthrough.
You rock this Walkthrough. the pathfinders sales team couldn't have done any better than this, this is because these boats are part of your life, you have spent so much time on them. I will defintely get one or two of these the slightest chance I got.
Thanks so much for the encouragement! We appreciate your support as always.
Wow, that is an awesome boat and probably the best walk though I've ever seen!
Thanks so much Jamie! I appreciate the kind words.
Been looking at the Sea Hunt BX 25 FS lately with those super wide Carolina flared front ends and tempered glass around the center console. Ultra tempting lol. Maybe once they drop below $50k.
I hear you there. Thanks for watching!
Absolutely loved the review. If I had the means, I’d love to second the personal opinion! Thank you for what you do.
Thank you for watching! We appreciate your support towards the channel.
Clay, Will you do an in-depth review on your new Garmin trolling motor and how it works with your Garmin screens? A lot of us in the Midwest debate between Lowrance and Minnkota. I think Garmin might be the best of them all.
Great suggestion! We want to become a little more familiar with it before doing an overview. Thanks for following along on our channel!
Awesome testimony
Bro you give us so much information i love it bro ❤
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
Just got our 39st wrapped
Make It Happen may see us in Florida this year.
Congrats! Looking forward to seeing you in FL. Thanks for following along on our channel.
Very nice boat for sure. I was looking at getting the retractable straps for my boat. I have a concern that the saltwater will quickly corrode them thus making them unusable (even while washing them with salt-away). Have you had any issues and what brand do you use?
Ameratrail uses boat buckle, as a second review I’m sure he likes his but he and I have them in the stainless version and I’ve never had an issue with saltwater messing them up just hose down properly
^ correct, we have an Ameratrail. WE have not experienced any issues but we do hose them down properly afters salt exposure. We appreciate you following along on our channel.
Nice boats, for sure! I have a 2021 Blazer Bay 2440 for sale in Cutler Bay. 2 power poles and a trolling motor added. Excellent boat for the Keys and Biscayne Bay. Handles well offshore, too!
Thanks so much! Best of luck with the sale of your boat. Thanks for following along on our channel.
This is my dream set up. Fishing out of Ft Pierce, FL. This 24' checks all my boxes and then some.
Thanks so much! It really is a great setup.
Stellar review Clay and spot on about nothing being perfect. Excellence however is achievable with the right research and knowledge when purchasing the right boat for your needs. If memory serves me correctly, Pathfinder has been making boats for a quarter of a century. In that time I have been completely impressed with their design evolution and craftsmanship. You have chosen your excellence well in this amazing boat Clay. This video should be a perfect guide by a real pro’ for anyone considering purchasing a fishing-diving-playing machine with chops!
Thanks so much! They’ve done an incredible job with their designs. They really take the time to perfect their boats. They listen to suggestions and take action. We appreciate all your support as always.
Nice boat and video, enjoy and have a good time🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
Thanks so much!
Wow. The mahi from tower clip is AWESOME
Thanks so much! Appreciate the support on the channel!
Awesome beautiful ship mate,
Nice to see your video,
Thank you for the video, it's very useful,,,,
Glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks.
Just bought some cool shirts from you all. Sad I didn’t see you at Miami boat show!💯🙏
Thanks so much for the support on the channel & merch. We were there Thursday-Saturday. Sorry we missed you, hopefully we will see you soon.
@@LifeByTheBow oh man! My kids and I were like “I know there here!” We came Sunday. But I’m sure we’ll cross paths. You guys rock. 💪
next boat grady white!
Great boat, not sure if we are headed that direction.
This is a motivational video. Motivates me to tighten up so I can afford this boat. Video is top tier professionalism.
Thanks so much! Glad it could help inspire you.
Clay, you are one hell of a salesman. But, please stay with your calling. I love your videos. Plus, I can hardly wait to see your little girl.
Thanks so much for the support. We had a lot of request from fans regarding the walkthrough on this boat after we have spent a year running it. Not to worry, we have more adventures on the way.
Great review, and info. You’re a pro! 👍🏽
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much.
Thanks for the extensive walk-thru. I'm looking forward to getting one these soon. Need to get the home on the water and then the boat. I do have one question, do you know how high the tower is off the water? Looking for how tall a bridge needs to be in order to fit under it. :). Some neighborhoods require transit under a fixed bridge and I wasn't sure if the height was 11ft or lower. Thanks and keep the great content coming. Love the series and congrats on your first child, beside the pupper of course. 😀
Congrats to you! Not exactly sure what the height is but it clears all the bridges on expressways etc. As far as navigating under bridges, your local realtor will be familiar with clearance of bridges.
If you’re looking in the Keys and need someone to represent you, reach out to Stephanie. She’s very familiar with clearance etc.
thanks for all the support!
Thanks. I was referring to the height while on the water. From what I can tell from the information from Pathfinder is that it's about 10.5'. So you'd need to have a bridge higher than that in order to fit under it depending on how loaded you were of course and whether you were at the normal waterline. If you are at the normal waterline floating, then the 10.5' is a rough clearance height you would need. Yeah we can't wait to get there and get the boat and do some fishing.
@@LifeByTheBow
Just got my first ‘Avail’ hoodie and face mask. Great stuff! Love the content Clay + Steph. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! Glad you like it!
Signing for my new (to me) sportsman today, so it’s now my favorite boat, but damn!!! This vessel is an absolute beauty!
I might say the only thing missing from this boat is that “dekkit” flooring.
Congratulations on the new boat! Thanks so much we really enjoy it.
Awesome boat!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it.
Nice boat...good review
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
I love the boat , best one I've had . And being "an OLDER GUY " 😅 It does make a difference . Great Sales and marketing video . Your a lucky guy.
Congrats on your boat! Thanks for following along.
Clay, do you have a VHF on the boat, if not what are you using for communication out on the water?
We don’t have one installed but we have a handheld we carry with us.
Thanks so much for the support on the channel!
This is the first time I’ve watched one of his videos all the way through, because I really don’t care for catch and cook videos, I thought this was great 💯👍
Thanks so much! I appreciate you following along!
DO A VIDEO ON HOW TO NAVIGATE BAHAMIAN WATER!!! Some friends and I want to make a trip to the Bahamas and it would be cool to have a tutorial on how to avoid sand bars, reefs, etc. I'm a lake guy so the ocean navigating is completely out of my element. Maybe how to use GPS to assist and then how to read terrain and buoys....that would be awesome because you guys are clearly experts at it. Love the channel and I think I'm having a mid life crisis watching your videos lol I gotta get out of Missouri/Lake of the Ozarks.
Thanks so much for following along. We appreciate the suggestion. We have shown in a few of our videos how we navigate through uncharted territory. Sometimes the GPS doesn’t pick up everything so it’s important to keep your eyes open as the sandbars in the Bahamas shift due to shifting sands. Thanks again for the support!
Another awesome video mate
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for following along.
Is there any way you can do a full review of the Garmin trolling motor? Do you have it integrated to the MFD? How is the interface. I have a 2600 and want to upgrade my TM. Would really love a full review
Thanks so much for the suggestion. We are still getting the hang of the trolling motor. It’s still very new to us. When we feel more confident doing a review, we will. Thanks for watching!
Great videos! Congrats on the upcoming daughter! What are your thoughts on the 2400 vs the 2700 Pathfinder?
Thanks so much! We like them both a lot.. We have considered the 2700 just to get the extra space now that we are adding to the family.
Great show at duck key.
Thanks so much for watching!
Love the boat we just got a 42 freemen.I like y'all's contender to
Thanks so much! Congratulations on your new boat!
@@LifeByTheBow thanks can I send y'all some pictures on instagram
Can you do a video operating the Garmin trolling motor with Livescope?
Great suggestion. We are still figuring it out. Once we understand all the features, we’d be happy to do so.
How did you get excellent drone shots going top speed?
We didn’t hit top speed on the boat however drones are pretty fast.
Nice boat 🛥️. I want one ☝🏼.
Thanks so much! Best wishes
Now they come out with saltwater garmin trolling motor after I installed a separate mount for live scope pole lol. Does that garmin trolling motor self launch like min kota you had?
I feel your pain lol. I does not have a self launch like the minnkota. Thanks for following along on our channel.
Hello Clay, What kind of silicone spray did you use on the bunks? Thanks Mike
I think it’s PB blaster
Thanks Clay. Best wishes for the baby!
I was on my jetski I saw you but I was nervous to go up to u when u were going through the markers in Tavernier creek
You shouldn’t have. Thanks so much for the support!
i love your video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
What do you use for an emergency box??
We have a Epirb, satellite phone, inflatable raft, nonperishable food, handheld VHF, and lifejackets. I'm sure I forgot something but its always better to be over prepared than under. I appreciate your support on the channel.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!
I believe 9 feet exceeds the width of what you can legally trailer if I am not mistaken
Florida Law;
Total length: 65 feet (excludes safety devices approved by the state); trailer length: 40 feet (excludes safety devices approved by the state); width: 102 inches (excludes mirrors and safety devices); height: 13 feet 6 inches.
How do you like the pathfinder.
We really enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to see some Kraken and Livescope footage!
Thanks so much!
11: 11 I see Minn Kota then all of a sudden poof! No, its a Garmin!
Using older footage. Thanks for watching!
It was just a commercial for Pathfinder. You could have discussed features and benefits without the nonstop plugs for pathfinder.
We are sorry you feel this way. We were just going through a thorough review.
Thanks for watching!
It’s a review of the pathfinder boat. Some people 🤷♂️
clay can you make a vid about throwing a case net?
Clay throws the net in past videos. We have not done a how to throw a cast net but there are a lot of tutorials online on how to throw it. We appreciate you following along on our channel :)
Are the bigger models just as capable inshore?
We have heard they are but haven’t tested them out for ourselves.
Not to discredit you, just check out shallow sport x3 beautiful boat 24 ft bay boat, can run in 5-6 inches on plane and can go offshore with the trihull
Yeah but it pretty much has zero gunnel height and that’s one thing that he’s mentioned that he likes a lot about his boat.
Thanks so much for the suggestion. We do enjoy the high gunnels especially with the baby coming.
Thanks for following along on our channel! 😊
@@LifeByTheBow in that case, the 32 x3 shallow sport might be the better option, much higher gunnels and that double motor set up instead of one. But of course, much pricier
can not say Pathfinder is best boat without first using other boats.
We love our pathfinder. Thanks for watching!
Too bad the price ain’t as perfect as the boat. Lol
Thanks for watching! It's a fantastic boat.
Every once in a while I see a used center console on sale online for a decent price
Really nice boats , but they only offer Yamaha power . Much prefer Suzuki .
ONLY $230,000!!!
You can find something on the second hand market for less.
After the next hurricane, you can probably find one in a Fort Myers Wal Mart parking lot for free
Did he say “little girls?” As in 2 babies? 🤔
We just have one on the way. WE appreciate you following along on our channel.
If you get children soon, why don't you buy boat where you have kitchen, toilet and rooms... You have to think about your family comforts also not only you fishing comforts
We agree! you'll see something new coming to the channel in a few months. Thanks so much for following along on our adventures.
I have three young boys and the 24 open is so perfect for them due to the higher gunnels, head in the console, shade and all around reliability of the boat and motor.
I used to love to watch your videos and kinda looked past the heavy push on the sales pitch in every video for the apparel but the pathfinder boat video was to far for me. You get the boat for free or a heavy discount from pathfinder and I understand they want you to drum up sales for them but I thought the boat tour video went to far. Stay with what got you here.
Sorry, I’m just giving my honest opinion.
I wish you both the best still!😁
Hey there appreciate the kind words in addition to the feedback! We buy and sell our boats every year and If you go through our video library, boat walk throughs are something we’ve always done on an annual basis from the start of our channel. We get a lot of questions based on our boats, equipment and how we use it. Therefore there’s a lot of people that appreciate all the hard work that went into this video to produce 30 minutes of concrete information to answer all viewers questions. Another thing to note, Pathfinder has only been a partner for about a year. With that being said everything you’ve seen here in this video is genuine. Ultimately I’ve always been a huge Pathfinder fan and everything I’ve said here I tell my closest friends and family.
I’m very sorry you didn’t enjoy this video, but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy what’s to come in the future. We work our hardest to deliver the best content that we can. Thank you so much for your continued support!
Get a life dude. He’s doing a very informative review for the pathfinder. If you don’t want to watch it then don’t. Yet, you watched it and came here to bitch about it.
Why do y’all insert pics into the video that not even the same boat. Example 12:40 you show an image of a Minn Kota and you are running a Garmin.. Just dose not make since…. Why do that. That is not professional….
It is the same boat just different trolling motors. we have both & we used old footage. We use a Garmin now
I love your videos, BUT I don't watch your videos to get a guided tour of your boat, or try to sold a boat! I'm very sorry but I love to see you guys do catch clean and cooks, and go to beautiful Sandy tropical beaches! No offense but if I want to buy a boat I will go to a boat show! Well I at least hope you got a bonus from the contender people! I am really sorry but I have to give you a thumbs 👎 for this video, really 30 min. Of a boat run down??? I have watched you guys for a long time and this is the first time I have given you a thumbs down 👎. Please stick to your normal fantastic videos. SORRY. 😮😢
If you get a $120,000 boat for half the price I’m sure you’ll do a 30 minute video on it to make them happy. Also, people like boat reviews from professionals like him.
Go away nobody cares what you think especially them…

I’m in the market and your insight is appreciated.
Just because they dropped a video doesn't mean you have to watch it. If the title doesn't serve your needs, move on. What a moronic comment and mentality.
I will be in the keys for a couple weeks in July. Love to say hi 👋 to y’all.
I hope you enjoy your vacation! We will be out & about during the summer months. I’m sure you will run into us.
@@LifeByTheBow charters in the area you recommend?
that yamedog sounds like its gonna blow any second! GO Mercury! Mercs sound so good compared! and yes they get you back, and are super econ too! american made like the truck!
We enjoy Mercury’s & yahamas. They’re both great motors. We appreciate the support on the channel!
Jeez can’t believe some people don’t like a good boat review 😳 u my friend are awesome 👏 keep the good stuff coming!🤗🏄🏽♂️⛺️😁
Thanks so much my friend! I appreciate the support 🙌
