In my opinion, it is the best all-around boat to guide out of inshore. It is the boat that I choose to guide out of and to film most of the Sportsman’s Adventures episodes. Today, I still run a 23’ Pathfinder HPS with that same Yamaha 250 SHO. When a boat floats on 10 inches of water with no water in the live well and does 60+ mph with 3 guys and equipment, it does not take long to run from the popular destinations of Florida Keys into the backcountry of the Everglades. In 2012, I got my first 23’ Pathfinder HPS with a Yamaha 250 SHO and it changed backcountry fishing in the Florida Keys, as we know it today. I cannot think of a better way to launch a new brand than with a championship. In two days, we caught 5 bonefish and 60 redfish, of which 48 of the redfish were caught on fly which is the highest score ever in the Redbone. And to be truthful, the all-time Redbone record is held by what was the first 17’ Pathfinder Tunnel. I was there in the beginning when the Pathfinder Boat Company was started. “I started with Hewes Boats in 1987 and to my great fortune, Scott Deal purchased that brand from Bob Hewes in the early 1990s.
