Pursuit C 260

The Pursuit C 260 measures 25 feet, 10 inches long and features a well-appointed dash that has enough room for two multi-function displays. The driver can sit or stand depending on how the double-wide adjustable leaning post/seat arrangement is configured, and off the transom is a fold-down bench seat that clears out of the way for fishing space in the cockpit. Facing bench seats are built in the bow area, and a removable table inserts into the deck for dining. Built at the Pursuit facility in Fort Pierce, Florida, the C 260 offers yacht-caliber fit and finish. Hatches are finished inside and out, and interior highlights include bow storage to port and starboard, a thru-hull optional windlass system in the bow, a head and freshwater sink under the center pod, and a custom surfboard-styled, vacuum-infused hardtop.
A curved, recessed acrylic windshield built to accent the stylish lines throughout the interior and exterior appointments protects the helm, and there’s a built-in storage compartment in the hardtop within easy reach. The C 260 is offered with important standard features such as a 30-gallon livewell behind the helm seat, a 31-gallon insulated fish storage box and separate cooler in the transom. Maximum power is twin Yamaha 200-hp outboard engines, which push the boat to top speed of 52 mph. With a single Yamaha F350 outboard engine the boat runs to 51.7 mph.

Jupiter 26 FS

The Jupiter Marine 26FS (Forward Seating) excels as a small-boat platform for fishing and cruising. Built in Palmetto, Florida, the 26FS measures 26’5″ LOA and has an 8’8″ beam. A 35-gallon livewell is located in the transom and gives anglers more fishing room in the cockpit. The transom also features a walkthrough transom door, swim ladder and a freshwater sink for easy clean-up. The Jupiter 26FS has four insulated deck compartments, including a 102-gallon macerated fish box, storage boxes under each seat module, and one large compartment forward of the console. The center console includes standard features such as a large dash for today’s big-screen electronics, an electric head in the console, and a cooler under an upholstered seat with armrests forward of the console. The Jupiter 26FS is powered by Yamaha’s latest electronic four-stroke F200-horsepower engines that boost torque in low and mid-rpm ranges for quick hole shot and responsive acceleration. The twin F200 engine package pushes the Jupiter 26FS to approximately 52 mph at top speed. At cruise at 35 mph the boat achieves almost 2.5 miles per gallon and has a range at cruise of 369 miles with its standard 150-gallon fuel tank. (941) 729-5000; jupitermarine.com
