QR Code Link to This Post
I've owned this boat since Sept 2021. It only had 33 original hours on the clock when purchased. Newer electronics (2023- Garmin gpsmap 743XSV, Garmin GMR18 HD radar, Simrad vhf radio, Fusion MS-BB100 bluetooth audio interface with 5 premium speakers includes 10" Infinity subwoofer and a 880w/3500w max marine amp, LED lighting; batteries, Fox Marine MEFI-1 Engine Gateway networked interface 2024). The sound is superb and is networked to the Garmin gps display unit.
The canvas and custom aluminum arch (2022) can be folded down. Custom snap-in carpets (2023). All cockpit seating and coaming bolsters re-upholstered (2025). Reupholstered items installed on 7/5/25. Recent outdrive service- shift cable, lubed u-joint, rear pivot pin and changed unit gear oil 7/5/25.
The boat does not come equipped with personal safety equipment, cleaning supplies, towing gear or fishing gear. There are some spare bits that will be included if desired. The boat does come with fenders, anchor/rode, fire extinguisher, dock lines.
The galvanized Load Rite trailer with surge brakes is included. Wheel bearings for all four wheels replaced 6/15/25. The tires are in excellent condition with low miles. The suspension parts and nuts/bolts are coated annually with an anti-corrosive lanolin oil (Fluid film).
The boat has been great for our typical local day-tripping. At approximately 5000lbs with fuel, it's relatively easy to trailer and launch. I towed it with a 6 cylinder Kia Sorento.
It would serve a small family or the solo fisherman well. There is a plumbed porta-potti within the cuddy with a deck pump-out fitting. The cuddy has cushions for napping or potential overnight. The port side back to back seating unfolds for lounging. For fishing there's a bait tank with circulating pump plus a molded/insulated ice box and fish catch storage astern. The cockpit is self bailing. There are two rod holders plus tow hook for recreational fun.
Pursuit is one of the better made boats. This Denali is no exception. It has a solid feel, and the bits are robust. You will not be disappointed. It's a great boat with lots of features for a pleasant experience on the water.
