Pursuit DC 286: Versatile Dual Console

This refined dual console is equally ready to run offshore and chase fish, or throttle down for relaxed cruising and entertaining.

With its 30-foot overall length and 9-foot, 6-inch beam, the Pursuit DC 286 feels like a bigger boat, from its 21-degree deadrise hull that delivers a predictable ride across a variety of sea conditions to its flexible cockpit and plentiful, versatile seating fore and aft. Anglers will appreciate the 36-gallon transom fish box/cooler, large livewell, and generous rod storage. Among the creature comforts are dual forward-facing bow seats with flip-down armrests, aft-facing flip-down seats, and an oversized, yacht-like head compartment. Standard twin Yamaha 300-hp outboards deliver a 30-mph cruising speed, topping out around 55.
