Pathfinder 2300 V

[TG_190]

Thanks for the suggestion for Concept boats, too many things working against them for my given situation. They seem well made, but not right for me.

Well, I've read all that Pascoe has to say about cored hulls, and such. What he says in the several articles I read makes sense to me.

Traydor, or should I say Traitor, (just kidding) I have heard that vacum bagging is a good technique, but you still do wind up having balsa below the water line (which pascoe drives home as a no-no). What are the best materials for stringers, as a lot of boat companies are advertising the high-tech "foam filled stringers". Is balsa used in the hull for chines/strakes as well?

The dealer I spoke with (Waretown,NJ) told me that the design was based on the SC23. I like the lines of the boat, and the story on the pathfinder site is compelling, but somewhat "deceiving" in that they neglect to mention the coring, yet go into gory details regarding the vacum bagging thing.

I guess it says a lot that you reccomend this boat to a bud.

Unfortunately, Pathfinder is not gonna be at the AC show.

What other boats would you consider??????
I am gonna be at the AC show, and want to give a good look at what deserves my time:

Triton,
Hydra-sports,
Sailfish,
Cape Horn,
Sea Craft,
SeaVee(?),
Yellowfin (?),
Contender (?),
Grady,
BW,
Dusky,
Robalo,
Regulator (?$$$),
etc.
