I have no experience with it but what are you looking for in a boat? Fishing mostly or a mix of fishing and cruising with the family? To me, a Grady 232 would have more fishing dance floor than that boat.Hi all,
In my constant search for the next boat, the Pursuit 255 OS checks many of my boxes. Currently have a Trophy 2002 WA, which I love, but am always looking to upgrade.
Any firsthand experiences with the pursuit 255 OS out there?
Thanks!
Howard

flat back with a pod and they are a dream, euro transom sux.
sorry for my lack of knowledge, but what is a euro transom?
it’s the intergraded swim grid that also includes the motor well. In some boats it eats up a lot of space that is included in the overall length of a boat. Some are more useable than others. Some people like them and some not so much...lol
Ya not sure where you came up with this. Theres a reason manufacturers switched from brackets to "euro" or built in style transoms, they ride better, are more stable and have more use than a bracket. Being able to walk back on the swim grid right by the motors is very practical and useful. Yes it is included in the length but it is usable space verses a pod which has one use which is to hang the motors.flat back with a pod and they are a dream, euro transom sux.
First of all I like the Pursuits and several models were on my short list of boats to buy when I was in the market. Everyone will have their likes about boats and dislikes. My previous boat had a euro transom and for me was a big waste of space for my use of the boat. I agree that a boat with a bracket is only for hanging the motors on is accurate however a properly podded boat that is an extension of the hull and swim grid is not the same thing. A 25’ now becomes closer to 28’ in ride and you gain storage on the grid. Each to their own but a 25’ euro style boat is close to 3’ less space than a properly podded 25’ boat. The pursuits have the best fit and finish overall imo. But in my case I wanted a 25’ boat and would need to get a 28’ in most name brands. Brackets are a totally different argument.....lolYa not sure where you came up with this.
