Pursuit 285 Offshore (DMI033)
Pursuit Offshore 285
PursuitBoats.co.uk, a Division of Drake Marine International Ltd, is pleased to announce the launch of the Pursuit range of offshore cruisers, sports and centre console boats in the UK and Ireland.
Based in Florida, Pursuit is manufacturer of high quality boats with an enviable reputation for seakeeping and performance.
The Pursuit Offshore Range consists of six models from 23 to 37ft.
The 285 is one of the latest boats in the range. Available from ฃ99,450 with twin Yamaha 250s, she's fast, superbly finished and well equipped, equally at home coast hopping or heading for France or the Channel Islands for the weekend, her twin Yamaha 250s give around 45 knots and a very economical cruising speed at around 30 knots.
With Marine Diesel set to cost more than Petrol on the water from November, Outboard power will increasingly be seen as the sensible choice for this kind of boat. Outboards offer the busy owner "turnkey" boating and costs to install and service twin outboards are a fraction of what one would pay for Diesel outdrives.
Add huge weight saving and far superior space utilisation and the case for outboard power is made. Pursuit are a well established company with their roots dating back to the mid-1950s, always remaining in the ownership of the same family.
Rigorous Quality control and attention to detail at the factory enables us to offer the class-leading Pursuitฎ Protection Plan which includes :
5-year hull/deck structural warranty,
5-year blister-free warranty,
2-year limited warranty
The public launch takes place at the Southampton Show but Offshore models are already in stock. Brochures for the entire range are available now and you can preview the boats by appointment at Salterns Marina in Poole.
