Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

Pursuits are nice I will admit but sure aren’t many around

I'm going to step in here as I'm currently looking for a Pursuit 255OS. I have looked at 2 very recently, both offered as the best boats ever, and both had transom damage where rhe engines mount. For sure, the one I looked at personally had impact damage on both sets of upper outboard mounting holes. It's crystal clear, I found it in the first 5 minutes I was there but of course, the folks on the other side of the deal were all shocked.

This aside, I wonder if the engines were pod mounted instead of transom, the impact damage to the transom would be diminished. For the boat I saw in person last Wednesday, there can be no doubt the transom is seriously compromised. Why the owner didn't call their insurance Co to fix this prior to asking way past top of market is crazy.

There's a second 255 OS on offer out of province, freshwater boat, and it shows similar, but less perhaps, issues:Screenshot_20240608_070849_Gallery.jpg

I'm 99% sure pursuit uses wood in their transom and rebuilding one would be a real pain in the butt due to the little amount of space given away to the euro style of transom.

If I could find a 255OS with a single I'd be all over it. 235 is just a tad small for what I'm after.

One knock against the 255OS with twins is it will be tight af to mouth a kicker. Need 13" of deck space for the mount and 21" out to out or about 11" for the kicker to pivot on centre. I'm not keen for trolling off mains mostly due to no prop guard and my highly erratic trolling patterns thanks to extra curricular activities while on the troll haha..

What’s even more sad is that the owners don’t know enough or care enough to even note the damage…. Yet ask for above top dollar classic covid pricing at its finest a ton of boats out there over priced pieces of dog crap!

To be fair … a lot of people are just clueless . They could honestly not know there is nothing wrong … they probably don’t know any other sounds either.
 
All trades and offers considered boys. 1.5 CAD will get you a small acerage with a nice house in Saanich, or 1.5 usd will get you a fish slayer.

If you don’t go 6 to midnight after checking out those photos, you need pills.

In this case, both 255s in fact, i think the broker should have confirmed the vessels are as offered...zero people will buy that boat with such obvious impact strike damage.
