The 2017 Pursuit C-260 Center Console is a versatile, high-performance boat designed for anglers and boating enthusiasts who demand both comfort and functionality. Known for its sleek lines and premium build quality, the C-260 combines sportfishing capabilities with day-cruiser amenities. Here's a detailed description of its key features:
Hull & Design
- The Pursuit C-260 features a deep-V hull that provides excellent stability and a smooth, dry ride even in choppy waters. With a length of 26 feet and a beam of around 8.75 feet, this boat is an ideal size for both offshore and inshore adventures.
- Its center console layout maximizes space for anglers, offering an open, easy-to-navigate deck while still maintaining ample seating and storage options.
- The boat’s clean, modern lines and premium finish provide an upscale aesthetic, with a stylish color palette available in various options.
Engines
- Powered by twin Yamaha 150 HP outboards, the C-260 offers impressive speed and fuel efficiency, easily reaching cruising speeds and capable of handling various sea conditions.
- These Yamaha engines are known for their reliability and low-maintenance performance, making them perfect for long-range trips and heavy-duty use.
- The twin-engine setup also provides redundancy, ensuring peace of mind during offshore excursions.
Electronics and Navigation
- SIMRAD Electronics are at the helm, featuring two large, multifunction display that provide detailed charts, sonar, and radar data. The system is user-friendly and allows for quick access to important navigational and fish-finding data.
- The SIMRAD radar system helps navigate in low-visibility conditions, detecting obstacles and potential hazards up to several miles out, ensuring safety during night runs or in foggy conditions.
- A SIONYX Digital Night Vision system has been added, allowing the captain to see clearly in complete darkness. This is ideal for early departures, late-night fishing trips and returning to port after sundown.
Communication & Safety
- An ICOM VHF radio (and backup handheld) is onboard for reliable communication, ensuring you can reach coast guard or other vessels in case of emergency. The VHF radio is essential for safety, particularly during offshore trips.
- The boat is outfitted with an EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon), which is a crucial safety feature in case of an emergency. The EPIRB transmits a distress signal to satellites, enabling rescue teams to locate you quickly.
Fishing Features
- Marsh Tacky Outriggers are included, making this boat particularly well-equipped for trolling. These high-quality outriggers allow you to spread multiple lines while trolling, greatly increasing the chances of catching fish.
- The center console design features a variety of storage options for tackle, rods, and other fishing gear, as well as a spacious fish box for storage of your catch.
- A Live well and other fishing accessories are available, ensuring you're ready for a successful day on the water.
Comfort & Amenities
- While primarily a fishing boat, the C-260 also offers plenty of comfort features, such as cushioned seating at the bow and aft, with removable backrests.
- Large, insulated fish boxes double as storage for beverages and food, while the forward lounge seating and dual helm seats provide comfort for cruising.
- The head compartment is spacious enough for added convenience during longer trips, with a marine-grade toilet and sink.
