Thanks guys; I definitely love my Pursuit.

My experience with Boat Outfitters themselves has been positive. I was dealing with Stave Shaw and he was more than helpful. All parts of the cabinet are CNC machined so precision is there.

Unfortunately, I seem to have terrible luck with UPS and when the cabinet showed up it was damaged. Boat outfitters had it very well packaged but it looked as if it was thrown many times. Boat Outfitters was quick to remedy the issue and gave me the choice to send it back for them to fix or send me the parts to fix it myself. I chose to fix it myself.

Can't wait to get to Lady O

 Removed the factory Ice Maker from my Pursuit 3000 Express and had Boat Outfitters build me a tackle storage cabinet. I could have built one but I wanted it to look like it belonged there.

On the Lam

Q1- I can think of a weekend in particular last summer when we were marking fish down 130'-150' and nothing was going so we started lowering rigs and started pulling kings with our riggers 150-170 feet on the counter ( at 170' on rigger Fish Hawk was showing about 20' difference using 15# sharks) 107mm divers were quiet so we put on 124mm divers pulling big boards and meet rigs and we started pulling fish on them out 350' on a #1 setting

Q2- As we all know when fleas get real bad nothing is immune; When this happens we try to bring them in at set intervals such as every 20 minutes.

Grayden Outdoors put out a dive chart and in the test they used 30# power-pro and the fish hawk TD - very helpful in our program

I'm not trying to persuade what any one uses. I was just stating we catch hundreds of fish each season with this method. My personal experiences have led me to using Power-Pro over wire.

Awesome!

Exactly what Tim said. It maybe easier to use (a little, a braid bird nest is impossible to fix), but who cares if it can't catch fish

You can say you prefer wire over braid all day long but you can't say it doesn't catch fish. I don't mean at some given point in the season either; we use it all season pulling spoons, boards, and meat rigs and catch hundreds of fish each year with it. I even won $20,000 once---- fish caught on diver being pulled by 30# braid.

Congratulations, the birth of your children is truly a sacred moment in time.

We run Traxstech triples and love them

We run Okuma Blue Diamond rods across the whole spread and they look really nice. We run Saltist 40 wides for leadcore, short copper, and dipsy rods; they have been flawless. 

We switched to power-pro #30 about five years ago instead of wire and it works great for us. Just use a polymer not to the swivel and make sure the braid is spooled tight on the reel.

I bought a 2001 pursuit 3000 express last year and absolutely love it. She is in my heated barn if you want to check out the floor plan some time.

Have had very good success with P-Line Shinsei; Vanish, Ha the only thing to vanish was fish and lures.

Thought i would post a pic of this buck. It is my best bow deer to date. He green scored in the 140's.

good luck, hope you find some Kings!

My team can't wait!

Awesome story. Glad a local person won it! Congrats.

Took my family out for their first trip on our new to us Pursuit 3000 express. We stayed the night at the marina and hit the water at 5:30. Fished riggers with spoons and boards with sticks. I have never had a good autopilot before and it was very handy taking the family out. Before I could get the full spread out my 6 year old son was fighting a small king which hit a black and purple stick bait. As the morning went on the kings kept on coming; various moonshines did the damage off the riggers. By the time my wife and four year old daughter woke up my three older kids had landed four nice Kings the largest about 12 pounds. When the sun finely got of behind the clouds we started to pick up some steel head; most were small throw backs but we did get three real nice ones, the largest about 7 pounds. All and all we had a great day of fishing, we were done by 10:30 and had landed around twenty fish, equal split between kings and bows.

They are a very useful tool when deciding to head to the lake.

Definitely well said!

Sold

Thank you to LOU for providing this classified section for us sportsmen to use; I bought the boat from this site and now have sold it from this site.

Want to move her new price $18,000.00

Pete,

        This is a terrible story! unfortunately I see many boats around here that meet this similar fate. Your comment about red oak was interesting to me, as I am a Forester/Timber Harvester in the Finger Lakes region. Do you actually harvest or are you a consulting forester; or both, which is rare? If you need to find a ride for lake O this year I have a very nice 26' Penn Yan for sale fully rigged. -William

My team can't wait!  Thanks for all the work you folks put in to putting on an excellent tournament.

PD Buoy, Thanks we have enjoyed her but have out grown and look forward to our new ride.

bump

2001 pursuit 3000 express we will have her at Arnie's mid may. Winning the LOC was awesome, can't wait to put some fish on the deck of the new ride.
