I have a Cobia, which is the same hull as the Pathfinder, comes out of the same mold, but thicker fiberglass and higher sides.
I have rode in a 24 Pathfinder out of Leeville also.
The Haynie rides just as good or better in rough water. I was very surprised cause it is so light. The best thing about the Haynie is that you can customize how you want the topsides to look. Factory boats you cannot.

Live to fish you would be surprised what this boat does in chop.... I ate 3ft chop side ways at 55 mph clipping... I will take you on in any seas for fun

[live to fish]

The race is on.....for fun of course.

["W"]

Haynie is built with some wood but the wood I coated many times over..... This hull will out last my life..... Blackjack is a cap and has a life time guarantee.... I love the black jack also

[LaAngler]

I would take a 24 haynie HO over any boat on the market except yellowfin.

Blackjack no better ride 10mph slower

I don't know when. I don't know where Hebert's or the last weir is. I live in Cut Off. But if I ever head to that side of the state I will let you know. You do the same if you ever come this way.

Well we do both work offshore, so maybe we can hook up our here. hahaha

My dad has a 1972 Ranger that he bought brand new (yeah you heard me...a '72!) that has seen more water than all of us put together!!! & he still uses it & it has plenty of wood in it!

That wood talk is a myth.... My boat hull will out live me for sure so I really don't care what its like in a 100 years

[flounder_smacker]

the wood is really no problem unless its used in the transom. almost all boats mg's that say no wood still use wood for the consoles and other non structural parts of the boat. as long as the stringers and transom are glass it should be good to go.

that boat is light for having any kind of wood in it. Ive always heard that a 3 blade has a better top end than a 4 blade. If this is true,hate to see what it would do then. I have a 22' pathy with 200 hpdi. When it was new I had gotten 63 gps out of it, with only me in the boat,15 gal. of gas and a lifejacket.lol since then I added lots of goodies and gear to it. Now, more in the 54-56 range. 63 is terrifically fast for all the stuff you got in that boat. That rocks.

4 blade will give it a better hole shot & better handling, 3 blade will give it better top end & not as good hole shot, but with a light boat like W's a 3 blade may still have a pretty good hole shot with top end speed.
