Pursuit Boats: Buyer’s Guide, Models and Current Inventory
Pursuit builds premium center-console and dual-console boats for owners who want offshore capability without giving up the comfort that keeps the whole family aboard. The buying decision usually comes down to two questions: how far offshore the boat really goes, and whether a cabin and enclosed head are required.

Why buyers choose Pursuit Boats — and the tradeoffs
Offshore-oriented construction
Hulls and structures are built around sustained offshore running rather than protected-water day use. Tradeoff: that capability comes with weight, which affects lift and towing planning.
Fishability without stripping out comfort
Livewells, rod stowage and cockpit working room coexist with real seating and shade. Tradeoff: no boat optimises both — dedicated tournament layouts give up seating this range keeps.
Cabin models that extend the day
OS models add an enclosed head and berth, which changes who is willing to come along. Tradeoff: cabin volume raises cost, weight and air draft.
Helm protection and shade as standard thinking
Hardtops and enclosure options are integral to the designs rather than aftermarket afterthoughts. Tradeoff: hardtop height drives air draft — measure before committing to a lift or covered slip.
Outboard-only propulsion
Service access, repower paths and diagnostics are straightforward across the range. Tradeoff: twin and triple outboard packages concentrate weight aft, which matters for lift bunk placement and trailer balance.

Ownership planning: lift, slip and clearance
Weight is the planning constraint on this range. Published approximate dry weights exclude fuel, water, gear and the crew — add those before comparing against a lift rating or a tow vehicle capacity. Air draft is measured at the hardtop on these models and is often the binding constraint for covered slips and fixed bridges. Larger OS models carry generators and air conditioning, which add service items and shore-power requirements. Confirm service access to outboards, batteries, pumps and the generator on the specific hull you are considering — access varies more between models than buyers expect.
| Model | Published base figure | Fuel | Water | Gear + crew | Estimated loaded |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pursuit OS 325 | 13,740 lbsApprox. dry weight (manufacturer) | 2,250 lbs | Not published | 1,000 lbs | ~16,990 lbs |
| Pursuit OS 355 | 17,470 lbsApprox. dry weight (manufacturer) | 2,910 lbs | Not published | 1,000 lbs | ~21,380 lbs |
| Pursuit OS 405 | 25,292 lbsApprox. dry weight (manufacturer) | 3,615 lbs | Not published | 1,000 lbs | ~29,907 lbs |
| Pursuit OS 445 | 30,718 lbsApprox. dry weight (manufacturer) | 4,500 lbs | Not published | 1,000 lbs | ~36,218 lbs |
Assumptions: fuel at 7.5 lbs/gal, fresh water at 8.34 lbs/gal, and a 1,000 lb gear, canvas, electronics and crew allowance. Where a capacity is not published we leave it out rather than guess. Confirm every figure against the build sheet and your lift rating before you buy.
Construction and systems
Confirm hull construction, stringer system, fuel-tank construction and electrical standard against the build sheet for the exact hull and model year. Generator, air-conditioning, seakeeper and electronics fitment vary widely between individual boats in this range.
What to inspect on a used Pursuit Boats
Ask for full outboard service records and hour readings for every engine, not a single representative figure. On cabin models, test the generator, air conditioning, head system and fresh-water system under load. Inspect hardtop hardware, welds and mounting points, and confirm all electronics are the year and generation represented. This is an inspection checklist, not a claim of any known defect.

Experts on Pursuit Boats
No named expert relationship has been approved for Pursuit Boats yet. We publish an expert’s name only when there is a documented basis for it — hands-on experience with the boats, transactions handled, or reviewed contributions to this guide. Until then, this guide is editorial research by the Premium Yacht Marketplace team.
Market perspective
Pursuit holds value comparatively well in Florida, and pricing separation between similar boats is usually driven by engine hours, remaining engine coverage and electronics package rather than by model year alone. We discuss closed-market context privately rather than publishing individual transaction data.
Pursuit Boats buyer questions
Should I buy an S model or an OS model?
Choose an S model if the boat is primarily a family day boat that also fishes well. Choose an OS model if you need an enclosed head, a berth, or the fuel capacity to run further offshore regularly.
Do I actually need a cabin?
A cabin earns its cost when it changes who comes aboard — young children, longer runs, or overnight stays. If your use is day trips within a few hours of the inlet, the weight and cost may not pay for themselves.
How do I plan for towing or a lift?
Start from approximate dry weight, then add fuel at roughly 7.5 pounds per gallon, water at roughly 8 pounds per gallon, plus gear and passengers. Twin and triple outboard packages put significant weight aft, which affects both lift bunk placement and trailer tongue weight.
What limits my range?
Fuel capacity, sea state and cruise setting together — not fuel capacity alone. Treat any published range figure as a manufacturer-reported estimate under stated conditions until a documented test with a matching configuration is available.
How important is service access?
Very. Ask to see access to batteries, pumps, steering, the generator and the back of the helm before you buy. Poor access turns routine maintenance into labour hours.
