Ahoy All -
Was considering a 2021 326 DC. Has genny and cabin / cockpit AC.
I have a 3 month old. We live in NY, so he will be 11 months or so when we would really start using it next year.
Any other members have a young kid with this boat? Is cabin suitable for naps, for the kid and wife?
Any feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Considering Pursuit 326 DC with a 1 year old.. seeking advice please!!
I am not familiar with that specific boat, but the ones I looked up didn't look like they had a cabin. They looked like an open bow with a cover. Obviously, I don't have any specific recommendations about the boat, but I do have 7 kids that have all grown up on our boats.
Here my thoughts.
1. You want a boat that is going to allow mom and child to be as comfy as possible. For me that was a full cabin with a bed, a place to easily sit and eat, and a toilet. The more comfortable momma is the more she wants to boat. This may mean that you give up a little on the fishing side (or whatever) to get a little more family style boat. Find a boat that works for everyone...which it seems you are trying to do.
2. Boating with kids means you sometimes have to change plans as your focus shifts to them. Just be willing to change itinerary to make it the best trip possible...even if that means less fishing for the day.
3. Find the most comfortable life jacket you can find for them and keep them in it. If they wear it from the beginning they just get use to it. We actually put it on them before they go through the gate at the marina. It just becomes normal to them.
4. There is no better hobby/life style for families than boating. I now have my 4 older kids looking at buying their own boats and continuing their own journey.
Good luck
