2025 Pathfinder 2500 Hybrid

Step into the 2500 Hybrid and you’ll instantly feel the difference of the most spacious bay boat under 25 feet there is. No more feeling crowded or having to move people out of the way to get around. The unique layout also allows for more storage space than you’ll ever need and a 45 gallon insulated fishbox. Plus, with more freeboard height, a notched aft bulkhead, and added cockpit space aft, you can still comfortably fish from the security of the cockpit in big water conditions. And because the 2500 Hybrid is vacuum infused, there’s no 25 foot bay boat with a better strength to weight ratio. That’s why with all its features and capabilities it still only drafts a true 13.5 inches, runs upwards of 60 mph, and jumps on plane in water too shallow for some flats boats.

Pathfinder has labeled its new 25-footer as the 2500 Hybrid, with “Hybrid” meaning this fabulous new boat is equally at home whether you are chasing redfish or trout in the bay, stripers or tarpon in the pass, or false albacore or cobia in coastal offshore waters. And as a well-designed, ruggedly built, crossover fishing platform, it performs all of these angling tasks well. What did our test reveal?

This is Pathfinder’s first boat with resin-infused hull and deck, making it stiff and strong and in possession of the ideal resin-to-glass ratio. The 2500 Hybrid features a double-stepped hull that allows it to deliver a heart-thumping speed of nearly 60 mph. Yet, unlike many stepped hulls, this one showed no handling foibles.
