Dear New Boat Owner,
 

Welcome to the Pathfinder Family!

 

Thank you for choosing a Pathfinder boat to transport you to 

your angling dreams. We believe the Pathfinder 2300 HPS is the 
best all-purpose boat on the market, and we’re sure that you’ll be 
completely satisfied with the unmatched performance, quality and 
fishability of your new boat.
 

We value your input, not just at the time of the sale, but 

throughout the entire boat ownership period, and we’ve taken 
steps to allow you to share that information. Over the next year or 
so, you will receive at least two questionnaires to fill out and return.
 

Be sure to visit our website 

www.pathfinderboats.com

 to find 

information on company events like our Owner’s Tournaments and 
Corporate Calendar. You’ll find a wealth of information on our 
Forum, where you can ask questions, get answers and join other 
Pathfinder owners to discuss all applications of your boat. We’re 
proud to have you as a member of the Pathfinder family!
 

Tight lines and screaming drags!
D. Scott Deal
