They are nice but not much cheaper than a skeeter or ranger.....all boats are very expensive these days like eveything else. My vote would be the 24 triton,that is one smooth riding boat in rough seas.

I have a Cobia, built by the same company as Pathfinder. I like it, but it is heavy and has a lot of storage. The more storage you have, the more junk you will collect.
My next boat will be lighter and less storage.
I'd prefer something with a big front and rear deck without the bench seat. I rode in a Majak with comfortable racing seats. Them things were nice.

There is a 22' for sale on here now 22'tritonfished it a few times and handles everythingbig lake has to offer

meaux fishing 02-08-2013 11:00 PM

If you want to ride in a 24lts let me know and I'll take you for a spin. IMO best inshore/light offshore boat out there. The 22 is also a solid choice and the one that is for sale on here has been well taken care of.

ckinchen 02-08-2013 11:17 PM

Like I said I think you will love the Triton, well built solid boats. I have to disagree with Meaux but it is all a matter of personal preference. I bought a second Pure Bay 2400 because I felt it was the most well rounded 24+ foot boat under 65K on the market (24 feet 10 inches). It also is 8 to 10K less than a new triton. I have a 300 yam 4 stroke on mine and it has seen 64mph and is as smooth at 64 as it is at 34 which was an issue for my Haynie. The boat comes standard with trim tabs and Lake Area can make you a smoking deal on one if you are intrested. It can also be customized, mine is grey with a black bottom and has racing seats like a Haynie. 3.8MPG at a cruise speed of 44mph.

I can vouch for the 22 triton for sale on the site, the owner took very good care of it and it has very low hours. He had it garage stored since the day he bought it.

Difference is, you actually get the boat you paid for instead of a name

I agree your boat made my top 2 also but i was buying used and I found the right deal on the triton. Btw I have a 250 Suzuki and have seen 53

Nothing wrong with that, it was a coin flip, you have an awsome boat. That Suz is a great motor, no telling how many hours you will get out of it.

Fishmaster19 02-09-2013 01:41 AM

A 24 triton LTS with a Suzuki 250/300 is my dream boat!!!!

I had a suz 300 on my first blue wave, great motor and good on fuel for a 300. For that Trition I would put the 300 and it shouldn't cost you a fortune, they are priced right....that would be a very nice setup.

I wish I had a 300 on my 24 triton lts pro . Top speed with boat loaded and 250 yammy 4stroke on mine is 50-51

Agreed, nobody ever wished for a smaller motor. That trition is stud where you fish offshore.

SGib 02-09-2013 10:16 AM

Chicken how about a couple pics of that purebay.

BaseballFisherman 02-09-2013 01:15 PM

Triton 240 LTS is a solid all around choice for fishing bays and for entertaining the wife and kids. Solid built, great riding boat. I just bought a BlackJack and couldn't be happier with my choice. It's fast (250 SHO), has an incredibly dry ride (drier than the Bay Champ I had before), can eat a chop in the bay, comfortably goes to the nearshore rigs and beaches, and has tons of room for a "22 foot" class boat. It easily fishes like a 24. If you get that Triton 240 LTS, put a 300 on it.

Em591991 02-09-2013 01:37 PM

Yeah I think that's where I wanna be. Waiting on this guy to call me back from lake area

ckinchen 02-09-2013 02:04 PM

Also if you are looking at a new trition since lake area does not carry them, Lmc in houston (site sponsor) is the number one trition dealer in Texas. Ask for David or Jill and tell them Casey from saltycajun sent you.

Good luck with your purchase. Be sure to post up some pics of the new boat when you get it. Welcome to the site by the way.

Em591991 02-09-2013 09:40 PM

Yeah Kyle did get in touch with me. But we haven't talked about inventory. Wife and I heading to ocean spring ms next week to check out what they have. I'll try the Texas spot too. Big boat show here in baton rouge next weekend too. Gonna bring the fam. Thank you all for all your insight. I defonietlye needed light shed on this purchase.

Em591991 02-09-2013 09:44 PM

Also fishinpox took me out on his triton. Real awkward. First thing he did was take his shirt off. I was like "dude, we're not even at the launch yet" weird. Nice boat though.

If you happen to look towards shearwater or nautic star and want to paint it black, Jerry's in sulphur is also a site sponsor and they have some very nice inventory right now. If you have not seen a shearwater up close they are beautiful. They do also sell yamaha motors.

Fish Whisperer 02-10-2013 08:51 PM

Zukes are unbelievable when they are running, but good luck getting parts in a reasonable time frame if something goes wrong. I believe LMC quit selling them because they were having issues with warranty work.

Dink 02-10-2013 09:24 PM

Ill say it again.....Cape Bay

And get a Merc......

Dink 02-10-2013 09:26 PM

Get a Haynie and park it mext to your house.....the termites will go for it and you'll save a lot on house repairs

RigRatNoMeaux 02-10-2013 09:53 PM

Check this boat out. Cant Beat it!! Ask the people on here who have fished out of it, they will not disagree.

This actually happened to a guy I know down in Corpus. It was an older model. I'm not kidding.

bjhooper82 02-10-2013 10:43 PM

Em591991, you should check out the 24' seafox that rigratnomeaux has listed in the classifieds. I've fished out of this boat many times and I can tell you first hand that it is an extremely dry and smooth riding boat. I've been offshore in it a few time also with 4 men and we all had plenty of room to sling trout. There's plenty of storage and it has a huge console with a porta potty that is great for women and kids. Give it a look

Foot 02-11-2013 09:19 AM

Em591991,
I run a Sea Fox 240XT with a Yamaha 250 four stroke. It has a good and dry ride. With me and four customers it will run 50 MPH (GPS) in good conditions, 52.5 MPH with 3 people with full fuel and loaded to fish. Has porta potty in console, jump seats in the back and plenty of storage. I will be in Bay St. Louis the 16th - 18th if you want to take a ride (if that's the weekend you are going to be on the Gulf Coast). The wind is supposed to be blowing so you could get a good test ride if you are interested. There is a dealer in Gulfport and Ocean Springs also. The boat isn't for sale. Just offering a test ride.
