Let's see your boat!

My brother has the 1925. Great boats, he talks about the next size up, hard top he could have bought new before prices went crazy, but his fuel bill is nothing and it's paid off. Great arch on yours!

same here....so good on fuel, paid off, owes me nothing it's just time to move on...
the arch is from Fish on Sports , solid build , reasonably priced at the time, guy down there was great, not sure what they're worth now but if like everything else they've gone up....
 
This year we had a case of 10 foot-itus and upgraded from my beloved DE166 that I had owned for 15 years and modded to the point of perfection.

She’s a 2008 Pursuit 255OS that started life as a freshwater boat out of Lake Michigan. Came with an aluminum I beam trailer with EOH disc brakes, Raymarine electronics and 470 hours on the twin 150’s. Previous owner maintained her with an open chequebook, and it was in mint condition. Not even a scratch on the original windows, and the canvas is still tight as a drum. First thing I did was replace both balancers to the latest version and have new cushions made for the cuddy. I have to say I’m really impressed with the build quality and the ride on this thing.
The ergonomics, and visibility, and the flush deck from helm to cockpit make it a breeze to fish solo if you have to. Had a great first season with her in Nootka, the Sunshine Coast, and locally around Vancouver.
Next seasons plan is to get her out for tuna in Bamfield.

One of my fishing friends has the same boat. I have been very impressed with its quality and capability in challenging conditions.

Congrats man. What size tender you running up there? How do you find getting it up and down?
 
That thing’s 8 feet. Fits perfectly between the spotlight and the rocket launcher. I can get it up & down no problem. It does cover the anchor/running light though. Might have to relocate that.
