Default Blazer Bay 2400

Does anyone own one of these boats? How does it ride in rough water? How is the quality of construction and components etc etc...? Any info would be great.

Can't speak on the ride quality but I understand they are built very well.

Never owned one but fished out of one a good bit in Venice. Well built & good ride. Sweet boat!

Triton would be my first choice, but the financial situation puts the BB 2400 at the top of the list. Also it just seems like less hassle with a boat that is laid out so simply. I kinda like the whole nothing fancy idea, just get in and FISH!

By the way...I am talking about the rolled edge boat not the lined hull boats.

I have the 2220 profesional. It is the lined boat.I really like the boat runs and handles great. I can get 62 with a 250 HPDI. Only problem is that the front is light. Only way it runs good in rough water is with the trim tabs down. But I would trade running trim tabs in rough water for the speed the boat has.

Fished out of one in Grand Isle and it was a very dry boat and rode great. I also like the basic design.

Looking at a brand new one? If you are looking at a lined boat i would go with a path finder even if its a few years old. I have not heard anything about blazer bay but I have heard and have fished out of a pathfinder and have nothing but great things to say about it. If you talk your self into maybe looking at a rolled edge boat the Trans XLR8 and the Hayine HO would be a good choice.

I dont know weather i will look into a new or used...depends on the boat and the price...I do like the pathfinders and the haynies a lot but I also like the deeper front v and the deadrise of the BB 2400...and similarly the Key West 246 Bay Reef.

Pathfinder is a really nice boat! And have heard they have excelent customer service. If interested in the 2400 contact Capt Bink Grimes at (979) 241 1705

Hayine is very nice too. And are made local. If you want to know hands on information contact Kevin Cochran at (361) 688-3714


Trans is also very nice if you want a rolled edge and donny and frank will hook you up. Their customer service is the best in the business. The 2208 XLR8 will hit the mid 70s with a 300 vmax and deliver a smooth ride. If you want to know more about the 2208 contact Capt Troy Keen at (979) 429 3300

I have a 2420 Pro, excellent riding boat, very dry and smooth in choppy water. I would recommend this boat to anyone. No wood is correct. Excellent storage, rod boxes and live well. This is a liner boat, on a similar hull design as the 2400...I did look and ride in a few boat before my purchase, the Pathfinder is a good boat, however Blazer bay was far more superior in design, more stainless steel rod holders and all composite hull. Excellent customer service.... The Reel Deal
