Grady White has just posted actual pictures of the new Freedom 255 DC on its web site. Nice looking vessel.
Do you know if the Pursuit is an 8'6" beam or did they make it wider? To me, a 25-26' boat with a beam of 9" or a couple of inches wider is ideal but there don't seem to be many being made any more. That 6 or 8 inched in width over the 8'6" sure adds a lot of usable room.striped bass said:Tashmoo:
Well put. Wait and see is the best approach. Let's hope the new 300 hp works out. I am still waiting for Pursuit to post actual pics of its new DC and the engine options.
Happy Memorial Day to all!

I can't agree with you about there being no more room. The 255 cockpit is 60 sq ft where you and I have 49 sq ft. The beam is 8'5" where we have 8'. The centerline length is 24' 8" where we have 22' 2". Those all add up to more room.
