Owner Experience Review

Owners and reviewers position the C238fromPURSUIT BOATSas a serious 24' center-console that splits time between nearshore/offshore sportfishing and family day cruising. The fishing credentials are real—23‑gallon livewell, in‑gunnel rod storage, and hardtop rocket launchers—yet the walk‑in console/head, forward lounge seating, and hardtop shade make it practical for weekend leisure. Several note the durable, fishable cockpit also suits small‑scale day‑charter or guide‑style use.

On the water, sea trials describe the boat “blasting right through” wakes and chop without rattles or harsh banging, delivering a smooth, relatively dry ride helped by a flaring bow and 21° deep‑V. Typical published performance with a single Yamaha F‑250 shows an easy cruise around 26 mph at roughly 3,500 rpm, with top speeds approaching the high‑40s mph depending on rigging.

Comfort and finish are repeatedly praised: the forward‑opening door makes the walk‑in console/head brighter and easier to access than many 24‑footers; tall‑backed helm seats with bolsters and swing‑away bow backrests support all‑day use; and fit‑and‑finish is noted as comparable to more expensive boats. Storage is generous and systems are tidy, with accessible cooler space and clean bilge areas, and service access is straightforward thanks to the forward‑opening console and a quick‑release panel behind the helm for electronics. Routine outboard maintenance follows standard Yamaha intervals, and one owner report highlights a minor quirk—residual water remaining in the forward drain under the front seat that doesn’t fully evacuate despite documentation indicating it should drain aft.

Pros and Cons

Serious fishing setup with 23‑gal livewell, in‑gunnel rod storage, and hardtop rocket launchers for nearshore/offshore use.

Smooth, relatively dry ride in chop from a flaring bow and 21° deep‑V, with sea‑trial reports of composure through wakes.

Family‑friendly layout with a walk‑in, forward‑opening head, comfortable helm/bow seating, and generous storage.

Owner‑reported residual water in the forward drain under the front seat that does not fully evacuate.

Reported performance varies by rigging, so not every boat will see high‑40s‑mph top speeds.

Requires adherence to standard Yamaha F‑250/F‑300 outboard service intervals for oil, gear lube, and impeller checks.
