knotafrayed Posted November 18, 2021 Report Share Posted November 18, 2021 Well after 18 yrs with my current Pathfinder 2200v, my wife and I decided to pull the trigger on a new boat. So in mid May we ordered a new 2500 hybrid and she was delivered late last week to Ft Myers. I went up yesterday to check it out for the first time after it got rigged and it looks absolutely amazing. An incredible job by MBG with fit and finish. You might spend a little more up front for these boats but you’ll understand why when you get to see the finished product. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamaskeet Posted November 19, 2021 Report Share Posted November 19, 2021 I also upgraded from a 2200V to a 2500 this year. The 2500 is impressive. My boat has no tee top and runs square from 3500 rpm to 5700 rpm. I’m impressed on how shallow it will run and float. The boat has unbelievable amount of storage. Good luck with your new boat.

Wanaflatsfish Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Congrats.....just a point I noticed.. It looks like the trailer needs adjustment ? From the picture, it appears that the trim tabs are sitting on top of the bunk??? If so, you could have an issue if you forget to bring them up before loading?

smilemaker Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Today's extended transom are a nightmare for trailers as it is impossible to support under the motor so the middle bunks have to support more weight. The biggest mistake is shifting the boat on the trailer to get tongue weight right. Ideal set up is to put the boat on the trailer in its ideal spot and then move the axels to get proper tongue weight. More work but when done properly the first time you are set for the long haul.(pun intended) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Trail Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 The way a number is spray painted on it and it doesn't fit right it is probably just a yard trailer for the marina and the owner didn't buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 You have a point there. These stepped hulls need a fitted trailer or the edges of the steps carry the whole weight of the boat. Not good to take on the road at all . MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsh102 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Yes that is a shop trailer. FTMM only sells AmeraTrail trailers with their PF boats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron in Atlanta Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Beautiful boat, love the color. Enjoy your time out on the water with her. I took this in your neck of the woods in the lagoon behind Tiger Tail Beach. A rare albino reddish egret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
