Pursuit 26: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Pursuit DC266 is a versatile dual console bow rider designed to seamlessly transition between fishing and family recreational activities. Its spacious layout makes it an excellent platform for entertaining, capable of turning short outings into extended adventures on the water.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
The cockpit of the DC266 is notably open and spacious, providing ample room for fishing activities. It is equipped with bolsters surrounding the seating areas, a large insulated fish box integrated into the transom, a live well, and multiple rod holders both in the cap rails and horizontally positioned forward. The boat includes a raw water washdown system and tackle storage conveniently located beneath the observer seat. For social gatherings, the transom seat and side seat can be lowered to accommodate a table, and the captain's chair swivels to join the group. Flip-down beverage holders are thoughtfully placed in the corners, and the table has dedicated storage within the helm console alongside a waste basket and door-mounted hangers. Forward on the starboard side, a sink connected to a 20-gallon water tank serves as a refreshment area, with space underneath for a 25-quart carry-on cooler. Seating continues on the port side with a side bolster, grab handle, and footrest, while the bow features traditional lounge seating with padded bolsters, grab handles, and storage compartments beneath. Charging ports are integrated into the bow area, and armrests flip down for ease of use. Additional tables can be installed in the bow area. The port console houses a head compartment with a sink offering running water and an electric flush toilet. The boat is equipped with strata glass surrounding the cockpit, allowing closure of the front windshield, a lower air dam, and the entire aft area for protection against cooler or inclement weather. Storage is abundant throughout, including lined and self-draining compartments under the bow seats, a large index storage compartment beneath the port side seating, and additional storage under the aft-facing port side seat.
Helm and Operational Features
The helm station is thoughtfully laid out with a compass aligned directly above the steering wheel on the dash. A 12-inch multifunction display is positioned to the right, complemented by Yamaha engine displays on the left. The helm also features a JL Audio stereo system, trim tab controls with LED indicators, a prominently colored red horn button, and a remote windlass control at the bow. Engine controls are located on the right side of the helm, with the steering wheel mounted on a tilt base for ergonomic adjustment. Ignition switches are also situated on the right. Adjacent to the helm is a VHF radio with a remote speaker installed on the starboard bulwarks. The helm seat offers fore and aft adjustment, swiveling capability, flip armrests, and a flip-up bolster. Beneath the starboard refreshment center, battery switches and the main breaker panel are housed. Access to the mechanical room is provided via a hatch in the cockpit deck, revealing batteries and double-clamped through-hulls. The propulsion system consists of twin 200-horsepower Yamaha four-stroke outboards with hydraulic power steering, turning 18M 14-and-a-quarter inch propellers. The fully forward concealed anchor is managed through the stem with a Lumar windlass and remote control.
Performance Evaluation
Powered by twin 200-horsepower Yamaha outboards, the DC266 achieved a top speed of 49.8 miles per hour at 5,900 RPM, utilizing 18M 14-and-a-quarter inch propellers. The boat reached planing speed in approximately four seconds, accelerating through 20 miles per hour in 5.5 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 8.7 seconds. The most economical cruise speed was recorded at 25.7 miles per hour with an engine speed of 3,500 RPM, consuming 11 gallons of fuel per hour. This translates to a fuel efficiency of 2.3 miles per gallon and an estimated range of 292 statute miles, maintaining a 10% fuel reserve from the total 139-gallon capacity. The DC266 demonstrates nimble handling characteristics, with the ability to remain on plane at speeds as low as 11.2 miles per hour. Trim tabs allow for precise adjustment of running attitude, with sensitivity to weight distribution requiring gentle, incremental corrections to maintain balance.
Conclusion
The Pursuit DC266 offers a comfortable and spacious environment suitable for both fishing and family entertainment. Its well-appointed features, ample storage, and thoughtful design elements contribute to an enjoyable boating experience. Performance-wise, the boat delivers strong acceleration, efficient cruising, and responsive handling, making it a capable and versatile vessel for a variety of on-water activities.
