Research Pursuit Boats OS 285 2008

~For fishing or leisure cruising, everything’s here!
When you’re chasing the big one or watching a pod of jumping dolphins, we know you need to walk around the boat with ease. Comfortable side decks and a grab rail along the hardtop make that easy and safe. All the essentials for your fishing trips are within reach, including the “Pursuit Plus” transom with raw water washdown, an insulated fishbox, circulating livewell and plenty of reinforced plates for downrigger installation.

We’ve indulged you below deck with a v-berth cabin that sleeps three adults or two adults and two children, a stand-up head with sink and shower, with useful storage shelves and compartments. The stylishly designed galley includes a curved Corian® counter with sink, single burner electric stove, microwave, and stainless steel refrigerator. We’ve included a music system with four speakers and you can choose to add a flat screen television and DVD player. For those extended overnight stays, optional air conditioning with reverse cycle heat ensures your comfort.

If you’ve been looking for a boat that gives you the best of fishing and cruising, the OS 285 is the one. You’ll never want the vacation to end!
