Persuit DC 325 Yacht Review
Posted 2015/05/07 at 22:00 in Yacht Reviews
For those boaters in pursuit of happiness, the Pursuit DC 325 is the yacht for you. It is versatile, tough, and fun. Not to mention, it can do almost anything you want! In recent times, the emphasis has been on center consoles which make people easily forget that there are other options available that still give you the sense of being one with your environment. One of these options is the bowrider design that is used with the DC 325. This type protects you more than the typical center consoles do, and does not lose the sporty feel. The bow of this vessel is open and inviting, allowing for ultimate fun.
Accommodations
With the open bow, the DC 325 allows crews even though she is a smaller boat. There are two lounges that face forward that seem to be the best seats in the house. Moving backward, there are two console houses and a berth to port. Usually, berths on a boat of this size are too small and end up as storage rooms, but on this vessel that is not the case. It is unusually comfortable and allows enough room. Fishing rods can also be kept along the wall here for those that aren’t just out on the water to sunbathe.
Across from the helm is another seat that faces forward and is a great place to take cover from harsh weather conditions. Behind that is a seat that faces the engines and is the ideal spot for taking beautiful sunset pictures that also depict the wake you are leaving behind and the engines you are using to do it. The helm itself has typical views for an open boat, and behind it you will find a grill that is perfect for cooking up all of those fish you will be catching. There are extra rod holders, insole tackle boxes, and a storage box.
This yacht is very able and very aesthetically pleasing.

Performance
If weather becomes an issue, you are able to completely close off the bow area of the vessel. The boat will skip effortlessly across the chop and you will be nice and dry. The DC 325 is equipped with two 300 horsepower Yamaha outboards, and turns confidently and securely.
