bsh102 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I sold my 2006 22 TE Pathfinder back in 2009 and said I will get another Pathfinder someday. That day is today, just put deposit on a new 25' Hybrid. We don't have a completion date yet but should know something tomorrow. I have researched, water tested way too many bay boats to find the right boat for us and the 25 is the perfect boat for our usage. We went with the Yamaha 300 which was painful because I really wanted the 350/400 Verado. It came down to who was going to servcie the engine and hands down Fort Myers Marine is top notch and could not see anyone else servicing my boat, so Yamaha it is. I am going to get with Skip and hopefully he will send me build pictures when it starts its life. Now the really painful part, waiting but it will be well worth it.

We started out with simple but ended up with a custom color blue the wife really liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was between the 23 HPS and the 25. The wife wanted comfy seats so the 25 got the nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyshon Posted April 20, 2017 Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Atta boy Brad, knew you would be back. Received your order today, you are scheduled to start on 6/26 as a new model year 2018 model. We are building 2 of this model per week and every boat scheduled in front of you is retail sold. I am having one built, my boat sprays Sunday night! Look forward to working with you, please email me at slyshon@maverickboatgroup.com and I will add you to my build picture list. Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsh102 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Well after a month of waiting and adding, changing to get her just right the final order has been submitted. Getting closer to going into the mold, these weeks just seem to creep on by. Question for owners of the 25 hybrid ? I have an enclosure that I will have to raise or purchase new one to fit the new boat under, does someone know the height from ground to the highest point of the hard top. It maybe the rod holders ? Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyshon Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Are you storing on a trailer or lift? If a trailer, Ameritrail? Skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsh102 Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Yes on the factory Pathfinder trailer. Which I assume is an Amertrail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good choice, beautiful boat. Best of luck with it. Skip has had lots of practice with build pictures, I'm sure he will keep you posted - If they can get him back to the office now that his 25 Hybrid is in the water!

bsh102 Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 July 14th, can not get here fast enough !!!! A man can only do so much house/yard work before he loses his mind. I am going fishing with a buddy tomorrow, so that will help. I think my wife wants it here sooner than I do. She told me today that I needed to find a job so I am not around the house all weekend bothering her. It was kinda funny but I wish I would have recorded it too use against her when she says all you do is fish. Hopefully my next post will have pictures of a new custom colored hull being pulled from the mold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
