New Pursuit Owner.

Hello From Vancouver, B.C. Canada.
We recently purchased a 2008 Pursuit 285 OS, with Twin 4 Stroke Yamaha 250 Hp, from Sanibel Island, Florida. Then had it shipped, all the way out to the West Coast of Canada.
Our boat is called BIG FISH 1, after the movie Bjg Fish, by Tim Burton. It tells the story of the relationship, between a Father and his Son.
" There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they are faster or stronger than the other fish, they're just touched by something extra. "
Big Fish was my wife's favorite movie and it was her idea to name the boat Big Fish, in memory of my Father.
We dedicated our boat and named it in honor of my late Father, who passed away last year. Our relationship in a lot of ways, was like the one in the movie Big Fish. This was the last movie that we watched together.
The Pursuit Boat's are very rare to find on the West Coast, however they are an excellent Boat for the typical Pacific Coast weather.
We choose to Register my Boat with Transport Canada, in which case you receive a Certificate of Registration, from the Canadian Government . This allows you to officially fly the Canadian National Flag. Your boat and name gets automatically registered with the Canadian Coast Guard. You do not have to have the typical license numbers displayed on your boat. You just have to have displayed on the stern,
" PORT OF VANCOUVER, B.C. " Your name gets registered with Transport Canada. It costs $250 CDN. and is entirely voluntary. However it is compulsory for all commercial boats. This is an alternative to getting a boat license.
I have been a member of The Royal Vancouver Yacht Club for 10 years and my boat is moored at The RVYC Coal Harbour, Vancouver, B.C. Which is Downtown Vancouver and adjacent to Stanley Park.
We purchased the boat for fishing and cruising, with our family, therefore the Pursuit 285 OS, is the perfect boat.
Salmon Fishing on the West Coast is a great passion of ours.
We look forward to being a part of the proud Pursuit Boat Owners.

Welcome to the site. I own a 3000 offshore and salmon fish avidly on the great lakes. We had successful season this year. Salmon fishing is a family affair on our boat with my wife and two young daughters. Welcome. I would be interested in hearing how you have rigged your boat.
