2026 Pathfinder 2800 Hybrid

The 2026 Pathfinder 2800 Hybrid is a 28-foot center console built for both shallow-water and offshore fishing. It uses Pathfinder's VARIS construction method—a vacuum-assisted resin infusion system that creates a strong, lightweight hull with a double-stepped design. The boat draws just 17 inches, making it suitable for flats work, while its taller gunwales and proven offshore design handle heavy seas. The single-engine configuration accommodates up to 700 horsepower, and the 182-gallon fuel capacity delivers over 300 miles of range at cruise speed.

The layout prioritizes fishing functionality throughout. Twin livewell stations include a 40-gallon helm-mounted unit and a 23.75-gallon aft port setup. Storage runs to over 180 gallons of insulated fishbox capacity across a 65-gallon forward box and dual 57.5-gallon aft boxes with optional macerator pump-outs. Rod storage consists of four-bank port and starboard console racks, ten flush-mount gunnel holders, under-gunnel storage, and a dedicated in-deck castnet locker with integrated drainage.

The helm centers on an ergonomic console with an integrated forward seat and built-in cooler. A premium leaning post with bolster seating, flip-up armrests, and integrated footrest serves as command central, with a comprehensive tackle station and glovebox. The forward console includes a pump-out head with deck fitting. A heavy-duty raw-water washdown system keeps the self-bailing deck clear during work.

Hardware and trim include a stainless steel steering wheel, springline cleats, heavy-duty trim tabs, and a black rub rail with stainless steel insert. The boat comes with a trailer and is approximately 5,928 pounds without engines.
