1987 Tiara Pursuit

Stock # 182816
1987 Tiara Pursuit P2600 26' Classic Offshore Cuddy Cabin. Inboard 454 MerCruiser 7.4L Big Block 330HP Gasoline Engine with 15 Hours. Exceptionally Preserved, Ultra-Low Hours.

This 1987 Tiara Pursuit P2600 stands in a category of its own-a true time-capsule vessel that was never commissioned until 2025, having spent its entire life stored indoors in a heated barn. With just 15 total hours on the drivetrain, this is effectively one of the lowest-hour examples of a classic Tiara hull on the market today.

Built during Tiara's era of over-engineered construction, the P2600 is widely respected for its deep-V offshore hull, heavy layup, and exceptional ride quality on big water-making it a proven performer on bodies like Lake Erie.
