No resolution! Spoke to Pursuit,they don’t seem to want to resolve it, they just keep asking me ridiculous questions, ie, are the switches and breakers on Seriously !

I had the opportunity to tour the Pursuit boat plant. Very clean, and did you know these are all hand built? I expected to see some robotics in the plant but there really wasn't any.

They have multiple building with boats shifting through the assembly plant. Watching the top and bottom complete in different areas then meeting together with a crane was pretty amazing to see.

They build some very beautiful boats.

Pursuit makes an incredible boat and stands behind their work. My wife and I had a couple small warranty items that needed attention with our 2019 Pursuit. No questions - all has been handled. Amazing boat and a great support team. We are proud to have our Pursuit and hope you are able to enjoy one too!!!

Purchased a 2019 328 after boat show. I was impressed with the fit and finish. The ride was great. A little disappointed with top speed wish they had a 425 option Factory assistance was great. Might purchase the new model a bit bigger all around.

Purchased a new OS325 early 2021, and have used it for 2 Ohio summers, roughly 100 hours total. I have sailed and power boated close to 50 years. We have owned many makes and models including Intrepid, SeaRay, Four Winns, Wellcraft, Beneteau, Carver, Starcraft, Boston Whaler, Fountain, Catalina , Prindle, Nacra and more. Each boat had unique strength's and weaknesses. It's evident to me the Pursuit's build standard is the highest quality amongst the list above. I place high regard on the quality of items which are out of eye's view. The inside of the bilge, underside of hatch's, fabric's, material, stitching, zipper size, fit and finish all play roles in the assessment of build quality. Weaknesses often degrade the boating experience.

Pursuit's wiring harnesses are top rate. Most manufacturers stack wires on top of each other. Brands like Intrepid, Grady White and SeaRay do a nice job of terminating, and mounting their wiring, but only Pursuit builds a 100% contained, weatherproof and sealed connector harness. They provide detailed schematics for their boats wiring, showing identification on each wire, connector & component and provide full printed schematics inside the owners packet. Pursuit's helm pod fully leans forward permitting easy and unobstructed access to switches and associated wiring. On the initial delivery of the boat, I did discover several very minor over sights. Things like a hinge screw stripped, or a snap broken, but all in all, the boats quality is 99.9% perfect. It's fit, finish, design, construction quality and dealer support are exceptional. Truly a rarity these days.

A new boat is only as good as the selling/servicing factory supported dealership. I purchased my boat from Southshore Marine in Huron Ohio. They provided professional quality service which I have only experienced in the high end automotive marketplace and Intrepid S.E in Florida.

The only warranty claim was the companionway door cracked in half during my first season. Pursuit provided a prompt warranty replacement and Southshore Marine did a quick install.

I like that Pursuit uses a diesel generator (less explosive) but I am concerned of long term ownership of a Fischer Panda generator. The generator is very compact and runs at a high RPM. It is difficult to access for routine inspections and online reviews of Fischer Panda generators are marginal.

The second concern is that the helm area on the Pursuit OS series is 98% enclosed. The two small overhead hatches and windshield vent allow little natural air movement. While the windshield and hardtop are beautiful, and built to an exceptional quality, the lack of fresh air requires the generator and air conditioning be run the majority of the time. I miss the wind in my face experience. However, I do like the ability for protection from the elements with the enclosure.

All in all, I would have to say my Pursuit is an exceptionally well designed and quality built boat. There is no question in my mind that Pursuit sits at the top of a very short list. I hope this review helps you in some way and apologize for run on sentences and poor grammar. It was apparent to my grade school teachers that I did not sit at the top of my class.

If your buying a Pursuit Boat with a Fischer Panda generator, think twice. All the great features on my 385os are only as good as the 300 hour generator on my boat. I have never dealt with a company that refuses to back its equipment until Fischer Panda. The excuses and pass the buck attitude from this company are amazing. This company is more focused on sales than customer satisfaction. Read the reviews. I will be more than happy to explain my experiences with this company to anyone. Way to much terrible experiences to convey on this format. This is only my second google review ever. The first was on Fischer Panda themselves. Chris wasdin

I really Love this boat that I recently purchased (DC266) however the person that decided to put four different keys for the four locks should get a good swift kick in the nuts. This one is a nightmare both for the factory stuff and Now the dealer has done a great job of correcting most issues however what still makes me go with a five star rating is the effort that my dealer (Carolina Coastal in Charleston) and Pursuit has gone to iron out some of my issues on this vessel. They did send a longer anchor line and chain when we fused about the one provided and re keyed the locks. We are looking forward to many years of use out of this remarkably fun boat. We selected this make and model after looking at everything out there regardless of price. Another thing is the auto pilot option at dealer level, while being quite expensive this was the best thing going as we can take a boat fifty miles offshore and back without having to steer the boat. Think about this one!
