PURE. APPRECIATION.

A Pitbull with Good Looks

02/08/2024

Originally thought to name my new S 248 “Pitbull” after taking delivery of it on a 3 hour trip down the Inter-Coastal. The boat handles just about anything, including slop and tsunami wakes. It is a perfect displacement. It gets up and planes nicely and stays there too. Also, I don’t buy much anything that does not turn heads or pleases with the details close up. My wife did not buy into Pitbull; so we named it Magic. It excites us every time we see it and go out.

TERRY N.

Great ride and low operating costs

02/12/2024

My new S248 replaced my 2021 C238. The S248 offers everything I wanted on my C238, i.e. more storage, better features and latest Yamaha engine design with DES. Overall, a great looking boat with excellent performance while offering low operating costs. My wife and our dogs really enjoy the layout of the seating areas as well. Looking forward to upgrading someday to our next Pursuit with twin engines.

One year into 248 ownership

Excellent quality; great ride and tracking in all conditions; great looks for a boat in this size range. Good value. (I rarely give anything five stars; that means it is perfect to me, and nothing really is, right?)

Excellent S248

02/02/2024

Feature filled more than any other boat in its class. I spent over 3 months researching this segment and the S248 was the clear winner from fit and finish, to the standard inclusions.

Great boat top notch quality!

08/05/2024

We looked around for a boat for a few months. Looked at many manufactures and each time we brought up to another manufacture that we were looking at Pursuit and how they compared we were always met with “well you can’t really compare with pursuit, they are a top tier boat with amazing quality”. That alone made us want to stretch for a pursuit, buy once, cry once! We bought a 2023 S248 and we absolutely love it! Brad and the whole dealership team were awesome also! Thank you Pursuit!
