Kestrel Take
A premium dual-console that blends serious offshore capability with family comfort — Pursuit builds a beautifully finished, versatile boat with the fishability of a center console and the protection/seating of a dual console. A big investment, so verify twin-outboard hours and health, salt-use corrosion, electronics, and consider a survey.
