Owner Experience Review

Owners and brokers position the 3400 ExpressfromPURSUIT BOATSas a dual‑mission boat—offshore fishing and family cruising. Typical use includes weekend leisure, tournament‑style fishing, and extended coastal trips, with comfortable overnighting for two to four. The model was introduced for the 1997 model year and ran roughly through 2004. Serious fishing setups—rod/rigging space and outriggers—are common, and one long‑term owner summed up reliability simply: "she has never failed us."

On the water, test notes report about 30 mph at a comfortable 2,400 rpm and a top in the mid‑30s mph. The boat jumps on plane in four to five seconds with minimal bow rise, and handling is described as decisive with immediate steering response. In a light chop the ride can feel busy, but owners generally echo good seakeeping for the class.

Onboard, the cockpit is repeatedly called spacious—about nine feet between coamings—leaving room for multiple anglers or family activity, while the cabin’s functional galley and berths support 2–4 for overnights; as one owner put it, "We look after her and she looks after us." Routine care centers on filters and anodes, and age‑related items do surface on this vintage: examples include replacing a shaft bellows and sourcing a damaged exhaust cowling ring after a dock "kiss." Many older boats show engine‑room upgrades or repowers, which is typical for the era.

Pros and Cons

Versatile mission profile for offshore fishing and family cruising, with serious fishing setups (rod/rigging space and outriggers) commonly fitted.

Spacious cockpit (about 9 feet between coamings) and a functional cabin with galley and sleeping for 2–4 support weekend trips.

Strong, responsive performance: ~30 mph at 2,400 rpm, planes in 4–5 seconds, and decisive handling with immediate steering.

Ride can feel busy in a light chop according to test observations.

As a 1997–2004 vintage, age‑related maintenance is expected, including routine filters/anodes and occasional parts sourcing (e.g., exhaust cowling ring, shaft bellows).

Many older examples have been repowered, indicating potential engine‑room upgrades to plan for over time.
