If the goal is nimble handling, economical operation and outstanding performance in a large fishing and cruising boat, the Pursuit 3000 Express can fit the bill. Ruggedly built, with a modern hull design and a proper length-to-beam ratio, this boat delivers a smooth, dry ride, and great rough-weather performance. Like all Pursuits, a top priority in the design of the 3000 Express is fishability, but a great deal of emphasis has been placed on cruising comfort. There's a large double berth forward and the dinette converts to a 6-foot, 6-inch berth. Optional teak and holly solid-wood flooring, air conditioning, and a selection of fabrics, all contribute to luxury and livability. Optional Clarion and Magnavox audio and video systems add to the luxuries below. Up top, the 3000 Express has a wide-open cockpit with aft seating, making her suitable for entertaining as well as fishing. An oversized windshield provides protection from the elements and clear vision for navigation. And there's a long list of standard fishing features. Powered by twin gas or turbo-diesel engines, the 3000 Express is fully capable of fishing the far reaches of the Gulf Stream and cruising to distant ports.
