Research Pursuit Boats - OS 285

~The sleek appearance of the OS 285 is enough to get your heart racing; but there’s a lot more to this boat than simply good looks. The large unobstructed cockpit features a molded-in stern seat with a spacious insulated storage compartment in the seat base. Across from the stern bench are port and starboard aft facing seats for watching lines or for joining in on the conversation. These seat bases conceal a cooler and a 32-gallon livewell for immediate access when and where you need them.

For convenient water access, there’s a transom door and ladder to port. On the opposite side, there’s a conveniently located rigging station and sink so that you’re there where the action is. For additional seating, the helm and companion pedestal seats swivel and can face aft to make the party complete.

Despite the large cockpit, the cabin interior is spacious and inviting with a single adult berth (or two kids) amidships, a galley with sink, microwave, single-burner stove and cabinetry to port, and an enclosed stand-up head compartment opposite it. The forward dinette converts to comfortable sleeping arrangements for two adults after full day on the water.

Play, eat, sleep, and then do it all again the very next day aboard the functional and beautiful OS 285.
