Just got registered here, looks like it could be great site for all us Pursuit owners. Little background on me as posted over at THT back in 2009 when I upgraded to my Pursuit 2460.

OK, think I did pretty good. Thanks to everyone on THT for advice and information. I ended up with a 2003 Pursuit Denali 2460 with Volvo Penta DP. Boat was very professionally maintained and stored inside on a rack, no hull paint was one of my wants because I will keep it on a trailer in the barn. For towing the boat I also bought a new Hi-Tech aluminum tandem trailer with dual Kodiak surge brakes on both axles. Total price paid for boat and new trailer $25K!
Sold my old boat and found the Pursuit through Craigslist. Selling the old boat, 24 foot SeaRay cuddy only took two seeks. It was very clean and had a newer trailer under it. Took a couple months to find the right Pursuit in the price range I was will to pay. Folks, boat deals are out there if you look hard and far. My search for the perfect boat included all of Eastern USA. Traveled and looked at boats from MA to FL.
Old rig, “Scholar Ship” an 1988 SeaRay Sorrento with over 1100 hrs clocked on it, ran it hard but took a lot of time keeping it 100%. It served us well, she saw all the major lakes and rivers in the mid west, Outer Banks fishing, Florida Keys and even a trip to Bimini! Some times we just played in the water and camped other times we fished hard. Best catch was on Ocracoke with the family, sailfish that went gunnel to gunnel. Owned the SeaRay 10 years and sold it for 3K less than what I paid.
Now looking forward to enjoying the Pursuit a "real boat", all in all the process has been a lot of fun.
