Owner's Note: This boat was built by Pursuit in its Fort Pierce, Florida factory. At that time, Pursuit was a division of Tiara Yachts, and still owned by the founding Slikkers family. Leon Slikkers, who retired from Tiara Yachts in 2021 at age 93, founded Tiara Yachts, and before that both Slickcraft and S2 Yachts. He is a legend in the boatbuilding industry. In 2018, Tiara sold the Pursuit name to Malibu Boats. Current Pursuits are no longer made by a company controlled by the Slikkers family.

Leon Slikkers, Chairman of Pursuit Boats, wrote me a letter in February, 2011 asking me to comment on the performance of the boat, motors and dealer experience. I have a copy of that letter in my files with all the original owners manuals and other literature supplied with the boat from the factory.

I am the original owner. I purchased the boat in 2010 from a Pursuit dealer located inland in North Carolina (Roxboro). The dealer ordered the boat for its new boat inventory from the Pursuit factory, but was unable to sell the boat until I bought it. The boat was stored by the dealer in a warehouse prior to my purchase with zero hours on the motors. Upon my purchase, I imported the boat into Canada for seasonal (freshwater) use at my

summer cabin on Georgian Bay.

In 2013 I purchased a winter vacation home in SW Florida and a few years later later decided to move the boat from Ontario to Florida. I use that Florida property only during January to March, and during that period the boat is kept on a lift and has received little use (note the low hours). During the offseason (9.5-10 months per year) the boat is stored on its trailer in an inland covered RV storage facility.

In the 17 years since the boat was built, for 6 of those years the boat was never launched (2006-2010, 2016 (due to other commitments) and 2021 (pandemic). During these periods of storage the boat was either in a warehouse or in a covered dry storage facility. In the 11 seasons the boat was launched, it has never been used for more than 3 months of each of those years, then stored in the off-season in a covered dry storage facility. When in the water boat has been in fresh water or stored on a lift and not left overnight in water. 

Hull never bottom painted.

Outboards fully maintained per Yamaha factory recommended service procedures – annual oil and filter changes using Yamaha 4 stroke oil (10W30 grade) and Yamaha oil filters, gearcase lube drained and replaced annually, typically after only 10 hours of use or less. Thermostats and water pump impellers changed bi-annually. Complete service records maintained, zero issues with either outboard since new.
