2020 Pursuit C 238 Center Console

Step aboard this C 238 and you’ll notice how Pursuit squeezed big-boat thinking into a trailerable center console. The deep, secure cockpit coaming and tall bow rails give you confidence when the chop picks up, while the inward-opening transom door makes boarding from the dock or water a breeze. The console hides a surprisingly roomy head compartment, turning long days with family into easy outings. At the bow, convertible lounge space shifts from forward casting deck to wraparound seating in seconds. A thoughtful mix of insulated fish boxes, a livewell, and loads of dry storage means you can change from serious fishing to sunset cruising without compromise.

In these waters, conditions can swing from glassy mornings to afternoon wind and boat traffic, and the C 238 is built to handle that variety. Its deep-V hull softens the ride when the breeze kicks up, yet the boat remains nimble enough to work tight channels, sandbars, and nearshore structure. Draft and size make it easy to trailer to different ramps or tuck into shallow coves. With plenty of shade from the hardtop and secure seating fore and aft, it’s as comfortable drifting sandbars as it is running outside for a quick offshore window, giving you a capable all-rounder for local adventures.
