New 30ft boat

[ERM]

Hi All,
I'm in the hunt for a new to me boat in the 30ft range. I'm very interested in the pursuit 3070 as an option, but I'm close to 6ft5 tall. Wondering if there is anyone in the Vancouver, Vancouver island, northern Washington that might have one I could step on and assess. The 3000 express is ok, just, but I'm worried the 3070 is shorter under the hardtop and in the cabin. The 3370 is definitely too short.
Thx

Have you checked out the 30’ Ocean sports?

We had one for 13 years. It was a great boat with a few caviets. I am just under 6'3" and it never felt crowded.

The 3370s from the early years has stringer grid issues. I wouldn't buy one if you Intend to use it heavily offshore. Otherwise it was a nice boat. The generator was also a PITA, I think we went through 3 of those.

We actually looked at a couple of them, slightly longer than 30. Cabin height was ok but the overhand over the deck is quite low. Head knocker for sure. The ones we looked at were stern drive, which would not be my first choice. They are a nice boat tho

Hi Mike, did you have a 3070 or a 3370? If the 3070 which cabin layout? v berth bead or the angled? I was able to get on a 3370 last week expecting it to be similar in height to the 3000 express but both the hard top bars and the inside of the living area were much shorter.

It was a 3370 2005 model year.

Ok, I know about the gen set issue and fuel tanks on the 3370, but never heard anywhere of stringer issues. I’ve been researching these for 2 years. Can you elaborate?
