Manufacturer Description
The Pursuit 3800 Express is ruggedly built to tame the waters of the
world and to hunt for trophy gamefish. Offering a quick yet dry,
comfortable ride to the fishing grounds, this boat comes with a complete
array of standard features. The cockpit provides easy access to
expansive bait prep stations, tackle and rigging storage, an optional
bait freezer, large fish boxes, a sink with washdowns, and rod holders.
The bridge / deck configuration is designed to accommodate a large
captain's chair with a big lounge, an impressive command center
starboard, and the cabin entrance conveniently centered. Belowdecks, the
cabin has been appointed with conveniences and sleeping accommodations
usually reserved for pure cruising vessels. Amenities abound, such as an
efficient galley area, abundant storage, a standup separate stall
shower in the head, and stylish fabrics in the lower salon. A portside
combination berth / settee is also standard, and significant rod and
reel storage is also provided.
From the Power Boat Guide
One of largest express boats of her era, the Pursuit 3800 Express is a
big inboard express whose bold styling was the subject of much attention
when she was introduced in 2002. Heavily built on a modified-V hull
with a wide 14'2" beam and a solid fiberglass bottom, the cockpit
dimensions of the 3800 rival those of a larger boat. A comfortable
L-shaped settee is opposite the double helm seat, and the entire helm
deck can be raised at the push of a button for access to the engines.
The cockpit?which can easily handle a full-size fighting chair?is fitted
with a full array of fishing amenities including a bait-prep center,
50-gallon standup livewell, cockpit freezer, in-deck storage, rod
storage racks, and a foldaway transom seat. Belowdecks, the spacious
teak-trimmed interior of the 3800 Express sleeps six and includes a
convertible L-shaped dinette (with inlaid teak table), aft quarterberth
with flipup backrest, head with separate stall shower, and a queen berth
forward with privacy curtain. Note upright rod display locker just
inside the companionway. Among several engine options, 450hp Cummins (or
480hp Volvo) diesels cruise in the mid 20s (30+ top).
