charlie johnson Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 [image]http://www.mbcforum.com/fbbuploads/1308067890-New_2400_resized.jpg[/image] We premiered the new 2400 at our 2012 Dealer Meeting last week. To you "never can have enough bait" guys, don't worry, we are keeping the 2400 TE. More pics to come. Some of the highlights: - 3" more freeboard - integrated aft deck seats with storage underneath ( ala 2200 TRS) - walk around gunwales and under gunwale rod storage ( ala the 2300 HPS) - forward intermediate deck/step to casting deck with insulated bucket for dry storage or can be used as fish box - elevated console with toe kick, fibergl*** foot pod and glove box, and forward access door with tackle trays - Larger lid and openings for rod lockers - bow and rear livewells standard ( 2nd aft well optional) - bigger anchor locker - wet test with f300: 62 mph with 80 gallons of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poleposition Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 The forward intermediate step deck is super. I much prefer this deck layout to the HPS which is very crowded up front and a pretty high first step. This one should be a good seller for you guys. Another thing I see that I like and seems somewhat unique to this boat is most of the "useable" fishing deck looks to be preserved for the bow of the deck and not wasted in the stern. I see several Bay Boats that (in my opinion) use too much space to create a larger rear deck; a space rarely fished when in shore (everybody on the bow fishing the point with the PP holding in the back).

KS Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 nice, guys down here have been building in "forward intermediate deck steps" since you popped the first 24 footer. They build them removable out of foam and splatter paint with a large drain directly onto the floor. Holds ice well, and easy to clean. those gunnels are a winner for sure.

slapshot Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 OMG, boat porn!! That is gorgeous. I like the front deck layout too. I'd like to have a step instead of going straight from the deck up to the fishing deck. The extra freeboard will help on those offshore runs. Now the mind crusher-----how much??

firstdue Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I love it, you keep making the best even better! My only complaint with my 24TE is the console and leaning post need to be moved forward a tad, it makes working behind the leaning post tight for setting out lines or getting into the cooler or live wells. It is a hands down fish raising machine with cl***ic sexy lines!!!!!! Keep the pics coming. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rckeat Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Really really nice. You guys are getting these boats refined just perfectly. I am curious about the intermediate step? What's under it? Looks like storage of some kind. My only comment is that if you added a cooler seat in front of the console, it looks like it might get a bot busy up there. But I still like it. The under gunnel rod storage, killer storage elsewhere, slightly higher freeboard, etc. This would perfect for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imsnookyrd Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Great boat. Makes me want to unretire find a job and get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Justin Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 great looking boat, and i am happy to see you guys incorporating under gunnel rod holders. this is the only thing not perfect about my pf22. Poleposition... I am one of those oddballs that would like more room for the rear deck, lol. (one of my biggest complaints with my friends hells bay marquesa, there is just no room back there). Gives my fly casters a bit more room, and with the ipilot, they can now always keep the fly line over the water, instead of casting over the boat.

Scott Deal Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 We're still waiting for the bulk of photos from last week's post dealer meeting photo shoot. When we get them in, we'll have a lot to post. I fished the boat one evening in Stuart as part of the shoot. There's a lot to like on this boat, that's for sure. Many substanitive changes that for many will mean quite a lot. We can't wait for the world to see her ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanaflatsfish Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Scott.... I think, or would like to know.... Can it be ordered without the seats in the rear? Personally, I'd see no use for them, of course, the family fisherman might.. DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackShirt Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Wow...Nice improvements! Look forward to seeing the rest of the pictures from the photo shoot.
