Pursuit’s new DC 266 replaces the DC 265 as the fifth model in the company’s dual-console lineup, which stretches from a 235 to a 365.

This family-friendly fishing boat features a fiberglass hardtop, tempered-glass windshield and vacuum-infused fiberglass frame. The open bow offers full wraparound seating and a stowable sun pad. A head and sink below the port console and a freshwater washdown in the cockpit provide easy cleanup after a saltwater swim, as well as changing space.

Fishing features include vertical and horizontal rod storage, a 20-gallon recirculating insulated livewell, a 31-gallon insulated transom fish box, a tackle drawer and storage under the companion seat, and aluminum reinforcement plates and wiring for downrigger installation.
