RCW Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 I checked my email yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised to have an email from Skip with the first pictures of her out of the mold. Below are the major details and still tweaking a few things. This is my first build and the anticipation is killing me. Going over next Friday for the factory tour. Kingston grey hull sides White bottom 2 tone console face panel and footrest White Yamaha 2nd station with taller platform White rub rail White power coating on all pipe work Console hull color matched 2 tone grey/white cushions 2-10ft power pole blades white Rod Rack on helm seat Underwater lights Simrad nss12 evo3 in console Simrad nss7 evo 3 in upper station Sonic Hub 2 6 JL speakers JL amp Sirius weather/radio module Bimini for front decK I can't say enough good things about the Knopp family and Family Boating Center. This is my 5th boat and 3rd Pathfinder from them and they are first class people. Thanks for the pictures Skip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEM Posted August 8, 2017 Report Share Posted August 8, 2017 I see PF has gone to an aluminum tank. I wonder if Skip could chime in here and explain why. Do they have a longer useful life than plastic (as in my 2007 2200V)? Are they more impervious to any problems with ethanol? I am just curious.

bw1199 Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Did you get to pick it up? I saw Family Boating posted a couple pics on fb. Curious to hear what prop they gave you and your performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCW Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 No not yet. They still have quite a bit of rigging to do, but I am hoping by the end of next week it is ready. I will keep you posted. Which prop are you running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will keep you posted. Which prop are you running? I had a 19p mercury enertia. Greg said his mercury guru said I need an 18p but it wasn't delivered when I picked my boat up, then it had the wrong hub so they had to order that and I finally picked it up this morning. However based on my numbers with the 19p I think it will be better than the 18 and I think 20p may be the best prop. I haven't had ideal prop testing conditions with the 19p but it runs about 57 @ 6200 rpm and 28-30 mph its at 3800-3900 rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCW Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 From what I have read online the OFX19 seems to be the best with the F300 but I haven't seen one tested with a full tower yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What rigging are you having done by the dealer as opposed to having done at the factory? I saw the factory does power poles and I've seen them install gps and transducers. Just wondering what you chose to do at the dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCW Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 The dealer is doing the Simrad units, trolling motor, speakers, amp, VHF, and various other things I had added. The factory only does Garmin electronics if I am not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
