Research Pursuit Boats LS 345 2008

~It’s not surprising that the LS 345 Drummond Runner was honored as Boating Magazine’s 2007 Boat of the Year. The classic lines and rich wood detailing combine with the incredibly quiet four-stroke Yamaha® outboards for the ultimate in style and excitement.

~Designed for speed — without sacrificing style.
Whether your destination includes family fun, entertaining, fishing or just plain relaxation, this boat has the goods. Powered with the new twin four-stroke V8 Yamaha® outboards, this offshore powerhouse can deliver 700 horsepower to the water, the LS 345 has the ability to deliver speeds of more than 40 knots. Our pursuit of perfection ensures you’ll find uncompromising luxury on deck and below, with a gourmet galley, teak and holly flooring and cleverly designed storage, including a cedar-lined hanging locker. Feel at home in the v-berth cabin, outfitted with a flat-screen LCD television, component stereo system featuring CD/DVD/AM/FM entertainment choices, plus the option to take Sirius Satellite Radio® along for the ride. Rest assured we haven’t overlooked the details for the avid fisherman either, with four stainless steel rod holders in the gunwale and insulated in-floor fish boxes complete with macerator, pump-out and overboard drain.

We know discriminating boaters will appreciate the LS 345’s indulgent amenities whether island hopping close to home or enjoying the extended journeys made possible by the 350-mile-plus cruising range. It’s enviable style and unparalleled craftsmanship — simply nothing less than what you’d expect from a boat of the year.
