CaptDavis Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 Looks like a beast. Hatch access is great, and the storage is non stop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmanjj Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 I’m sure it will be a big seller for MBG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPizzle Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I am really glad this boat came out. With 4 kids, I am going to be a looking for a larger hybrid in the next few years due to space needs over my 22v. I was looking at other brands as the other models, even the 26 trs, although larger, still only had the same seating configuration that I can already do with our current boat. I am really interested to see what options they come up with as far as transom with the jump seats / storage? And also with the leaning post / live well and storage. If they do an option without the leaning post livewell, I wonder if there could an optional 2nd livewell / release well elsewhere. Also wonder if there was any thought to have the forward fish box step split like on the 2500. Really only one cooler option in front of the console except for bringing a cooler. With the two long side floor fish boxes, seems the front could be a little smaller and have the second compartment which could be the 2nd cooler option.

D-linesider Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I would be a buyer if it could be rigged with twins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPizzle Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Depending on speed and fuel burn, the single is what actually appeals to me. I have been looking at other options in the 26-28 range, and most of them appear to "need" twins. In reality, if I am buying a boat with twins for the ability for long offshore runs, then i probably don't need a bay boat but more of a true center console. For the 80% of my use, a single is perfect and really cuts down on maintenance cost plus opens up more transom space for access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloch776 Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Looks like it was designed very well and they crushed it on the lay out. Happy the factory listened and added an option for extra capacity. If they would get rid of the xto and go with a 400 verado or twins I think it would be a much better match up. Interested to see the numbers on it as I know it was faster than 60. Also interested in the price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me, I would prefer twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereject Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I also agree. I would trade up my 2500 tomorrow if you could hang twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuddyBottomBluz Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 Judging by the configuration of the stern, twins does not appear to be an option. Unless their is a Pathfinder bracket in the works similar to what Dusky does??? I've heard where alotta people are given up twins and going back to single outboards, to each his own though.

Tall Tails Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 I too feel the boat will need more HP than the 425 provides. With a light load I'm sure it is adequate. Put 4 people in there with 2 in those rear jump seats and its going to take some time to get on plane. Twins, even 225's provide so much more propeller "bite" than a single. I think I'll be sticking with my 2500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thereject Posted May 19, 2020 Report Share Posted May 19, 2020 It’s hard to tell how much room is really there with that monster hanging there. Could be enough room for a bobs dual plate but I’m not sure. Merc 225 twins would be a killer combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but I don’t think you’re getting twins on that transom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPizzle Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 Skip I am sure with this being a new model the options, pricing, and even design are probably still evolving. When do you think roughly the specs and information will make it to your website. You all did such a great job reeling us in last week for the Facebook live that I keep checking all social media regularly for any new updates.

BluefinMan Posted May 22, 2020 Report Share Posted May 22, 2020 I have a 2006 pathfinder offshore and I love it I’ve got everything from bone fish down south to 900Lb blue fin up north. And I really do like the looks of this new one only I wish it had was a little more open front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawg Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Are the fish boxes in the aft deck insulated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPizzle Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 Just following up with available options on this boat. Is there any thought for an alternate cap with bow seating that a lot of the other 26-28 hybrid boats seem to have? Asking for the wife. Have you all done one with a second station yet. Been keeping an eye here and social media hoping someone had ordered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
