New 23 HPS

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Just thought I would share some pics of the new boat. Nothing too crazy or different from other builds.

I currently have a 2013 Pathfinder 2300 HPS.

Updating to a 2016 Pathfinder 2300 HPS. Main difference is I'm going with 250 SHO motor on the new boat vs the F300 on my current boat. Couple reasons. (1) price (2) more torque and punch for jumping up in the shallows (3) 20" shaft. Only thing i'm going to miss is the electronic shifting & larger amp alternator for charging while running.

Here's my build list:

Yamaha 250 SHO with Command Link Gauges

Guide Green two tone exterior

Guide Green two tone console

White rub rail with stainless insert

White powder coat package

Twin 10' White Power-Pole blades

Recirculating pump

Port Release well

Advanced bubbler aeration system

Trim Tabs

Ameratrail trailer with aluminum wheels

Lowrance HDS 12 Touch

MinnKota 112 iPilot

MinnKota 4 bank on-board charger

JL Audio M880's (4) with MHD600/4 bluetooth (no head unit)

Looking forward to picking her up next week! :)

Josh B.

Dominion - ha ha, not making that drive for pictures! Skip or someone on staff will send you pictures if you request them. Which is nice to have... they know you're anxious to get it and the pictures help calm the nerves!!!!

Thanks guys, I'll make sure to add some pictures and performance numbers when I get around to running her.

I picked up on Monday 11/23, now to get some rigging done (electronics, etc.) and then start the break in process this weekend.

this is a great boat!! I love the 23HPS, however not so enamored with my Yamaha 250SHO.. I will buy something other than Yamelt next time

What don't you like about the SHO?

Buttapollock - No #'s yet, I spent all weekend rigging and never even get her wet! Too much family events going on, I couldn't get more than a couple hours each day to work on it. #'s coming soon though!!!!!

Good looking install on the Lowrance unit!

Are you going to install a VHF radio? If so,

where?

I'm not planning to install a VHF, I use a handheld unit when needed. If I did ever install one it would be inside the console out of sight.

Same with stereo, I'm installing stereo with just bluetooth module so there is nothing mounted on the console. Everything is controlled remotely on the phone.

Thanks guys.

Yes, the tackle-webs are pretty nice. I actually ordered some already. I won't use them on every hatch, but I like them for holding my keys, chap-stick, and other small pieces that I don't want to get buried under all the other stuff in the leaning post, etc.
