q0rban Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi there, newbie to the forum. I'm hoping to be a Pathfinder owner soon. I am under contract on a repowered 2001 2200v, and was wondering what specific things to look for on this year of hull. I did see some posts about water collecting on the fuel tank on some years of the 22. Anything else specific to these years or this model? Thank you in advance!

raymo Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have the same boat...my first boat and I love it, does everything I wanna do. The only issue I had on mine were the deck drain tubes...they are corregated plastic that got very brittle over time. PITA to replace, but you should take a peek at yours if you get water in the bilge that you cant explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q0rban Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Thanks @raymo! I will check that out. Do you still have your original gas tank in yours? I haven't seen many threads around on replacing the tank in these, which makes me think that either not many people have done it, or that they were so scarred by the experience that they didn't want any reminders of it floating around on the internet.

fishmanjj Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 i had a 2001 year model 2400V for 11 years...over 2500 hours on her when I sold ( started with OFX66- 200 HP and put a F250 on her in 2008 ) anyway....original everything below deck and had no issues with wiring or fuel tank. I then bought a 2009 year model 2200XL in 2012 and it still has original fuel tank with no issues so far.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailer - what year? when was it last rebuilt? 4.) Engine- have a good marine mechanic do a full check over - what year is the repower. Might cost you $300 or so $, but, will save you a few thousand in the future - even a marine survey is no guarantee - but, at least it can be something you have as a reference. They will check everything and then give you a $$ amount what the remedy will cost to fix. Good luck... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q0rban Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks! Definitely getting it surveyed. It's more expensive than $250, though: $20 a foot. But hey, caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymo Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 no issues with the fuel tank on my boat. I did have some wiring issues (poor grounds, etc) but that was the previous owner not doing a few small things under the console correctly. I rewired the boat myself just for piece of mind and I like lots of toys (stereo, ipilot, powerpole, etc) I bet I have 1500+ hours on the carbed VMAX and it runs like a top!

q0rban Posted March 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Survey showed the boat needed a full rewire and re-plumbing. While I'm not scared off by a project, I've got too many of those right now, so I walked away. Thanks for all the replies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
