Hobo Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Hey Fellows and Friends! The son of one of my best life-time friends has asked me to help him get set up with a good previously owned Pathfinder... Either a 22 or 24 foot model, it doesn't really make any difference between the two... We are looking for a rig manufactured between 2002 and 2015 (not interested in the 1999 thru 2001 models) .. A four stroke motor is preferred but certainly wouldn't be a deal-breaker... A rig with an engine needing to be replaced will also be favorably considered... A suitable trailer is certainly a preferred desirable option... Send me a PM, text message, email, or phone call with what you might have that meets these preferences... (send me a PM and I'll forward you my cell phone number) Thank you!! email address: hobo27@comcast.net ---------------<" }(((((*>< HOBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forward compartment opening from the front instead of the top makes a lot of difference. The for side hatches with the cushions instead of fiberglass tops would also be a deterrent. They just don’t hold up and they hard to replace. Few other small things but that’s the just of it. Other than the cap the hull is the same though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin-addict Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 Gunnels not as wide. 02 up much more user friendly layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobo Posted March 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 Miss Jazzy and fin-addict both hit the "nail on the head" with their responses regarding the questions identifying a few undesirable features with the pre-2002 22' Pathfinders... Several huge mods were made beginning with the 2002 models.. It was very difficult to install rod holders in the gunnels of the earlier models because of the narrow width of the gunnels, they were widened... The front casting deck storage compartment access hatch being relocated from a "front-opener" to a 'top-opener" was probably the biggest and most noticeable difference... Making the two forward-side hatch covers solid fiberglass instead of a being a fixed, padded cushion-top lid was also a huge improvement... The aft cockpit floor was also raised slightly and the rear cockpit drains were improved and relocated... We found my friend a 2003 22' Pathfinder from the St. Augustine area with very low hours on a 200 HPDI Yamaha... I also had a great offering from another gentleman from Louisiana... His offering was also an original owner, like new, 2003 22' PF & 200 hpdi with 405 hours... I was mighty tempted to buy that one for myself as a back-up. Very reasonable price also... I do want to thank those that responded to this post seeking a good 22 Pathfinder as well as referrals.... This is a great forum!!! Thanks MBC!! ----------<" ){{{{*>< Hobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASB Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I may be listing my 2004 22 TE with a 2020 Suzuki df175.very soon. It has a good dual axle trailer with newer torsion axle and hubs. Just bought a 2007 24TE but need to rig it out before I put it to use and sell my 22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennF Posted March 23, 2023 Report Share Posted March 23, 2023 Boats that old with low hours means a lot of time spent sitting. That’s not ideal. You might consider having it surveyed to check fuel tank, fittings, pumps, steering system and lubrication history of the outboard, etc…. You could be saving a few $ on the front end but paying more $ on the back end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
