At 34.42 feet in length with a 9.5-foot beam, this center console delivers the combination of open-water capability and fishing-focused design that defines the category. Powered by twin Yamaha 350-horsepower four-stroke engines, the C 340 is equipped to handle extended offshore runs while maintaining the fuel efficiency and reliability that modern cruising demands. With only 490 hours on the engines, this 2008 model offers the advantage of a proven platform with minimal wear on its powerplants. The inclusion of a 2024 aluminum triple-axle trailer ensures convenient transport and storage, making this vessel an accessible option for serious anglers and weekend cruisers alike. The asking price of $164,990 positions this center console competitively within the market for late-2000s offshore fishing boats of this size and capability level. For buyers seeking a functional, well-equipped vessel ready for immediate deployment, the low engine hours and comprehensive electronics package represent meaningful value.
Design and Deck Layout
Pursuit's design philosophy for the C 340 draws from offshore racing boat engineering, particularly in the notched transom architecture that improves top-end speed and directional stability in choppy, rough-water conditions. This design choice reflects the builder's commitment to performance beyond sheltered waters, allowing the boat to maintain control and efficiency when offshore swells and wind-driven seas test the hull. The deck arrangement prioritizes open fishing access and safety. The absence of a raised bow rail—instead recessed under the gunwale cap—eliminates sightline obstruction while maintaining structural support. The deeply cushioned gunwale running from bow to stern provides comfortable bearing surface during long fishing days and adds ergonomic value to the working environment. This combination of open sightlines and padded surfaces creates an accessible, user-friendly fishing platform that doesn't sacrifice comfort for function. Four insulated storage boxes with a combined capacity of 744 quarts serve as the foundation for catch management and gear organization. Each box features gasket seals designed to maintain watertight integrity, essential for preserving ice and protecting sensitive equipment during offshore operations. This capacity allows anglers to manage extended trips without frequent returns to port, a critical feature for canyon fishing or deep-water pursuits.
Fishing Systems and Livewell Technology
The leaning post, a standard feature on the C 340, houses a 52-gallon circulating livewell developed in partnership with a leading oceanic research center. This partnership-designed system represents a meaningful upgrade in livewell technology, employing circulation principles that maintain water quality and oxygen levels more effectively than passive systems. For serious anglers targeting pelagic species or keeping live bait for extended periods, this system provides a functional advantage that extends fishing opportunity windows. Rod storage is distributed throughout the vessel to support active fishing scenarios. Gunnel-mounted rod holders provide convenient access to rigged tackle, while a rocket launcher configuration offers additional capacity for multiple rod-and-reel combinations. This multi-location storage approach reflects the fishing-focused design philosophy, ensuring that anglers can organize tackle by species, technique, or depth target without cluttering the working deck. Built-in tackle storage integrated into the helm area keeps essential gear, small tools, and rigging materials within arm's reach of the captain's station. This organization reduces operational friction during transitions between fishing presentations and allows quick adjustments to tackle configurations without searching the cabin.
Helm and Electronics
The 2008 C 340 is equipped with dual Garmin units—a configuration that provides redundancy for critical navigation and chart-plotting functions while allowing simultaneous display of different data sets. This dual-unit approach supports safer offshore operation by ensuring that chart data, GPS positioning, and waypoint management remain accessible even if one system experiences an interruption. For boats regularly operating beyond visual reference to land, this redundancy is a practical safety consideration. Integrated electronics include radar, autopilot, sonar, GPS, and chart-plotting capability. Radar enables safe navigation in low-visibility conditions and helps identify weather systems and other vessels at distance. The autopilot system reduces fatigue during long transits, particularly valuable when running offshore to distant fishing grounds. Sonar and GPS work in concert to locate structure, baitfish, and depth transitions that concentrate target species. The chart-plotter consolidates waypoints, routes, and bathymetric data into a unified navigation interface. This electronics suite reflects mid-to-late 2000s marine technology standards, when Garmin systems dominated the recreational and charter fishing market. While newer systems offer enhanced processing speed and integrated connectivity features, the core functionality—safe navigation, fish detection, and operational awareness—remains fully supported by this equipment configuration. The helm layout includes dedicated space for the color machines, autopilot, and radio systems, indicating a thoughtful approach to instrument clustering that keeps critical controls within the captain's reach and sightline.
Accommodations and Comfort Features
While the C 340 is fundamentally a fishing platform, the vessel includes a head in the console, addressing the practical needs of extended offshore trips. Cup holders throughout the deck and cabin support comfortable operation during long days on the water, a detail that reflects the builder's understanding of cruising comfort as a component of fishing success. The original configuration emphasizes open deck space, but the vessel supports several optional upgrades that expand its comfort and entertainment capability. An additional 35-gallon live baitwell option increases capacity for live bait management on extended trips or when targeting multiple species. Transom seating provides additional passenger accommodation without compromising the working fishing deck. An insulated coffin cooler box offers additional storage for provisions, ice, or catch. Bow seating forward creates a relaxation zone for non-fishing passengers or provides additional vantage point for spotting fish or wildlife. Hardtop configuration options allow buyers to customize weather protection and shade coverage according to regional climate and personal preference. A hardtop structure improves comfort during extended daylight hours and provides some protection during sudden weather transitions, though the open center console design inherently prioritizes ventilation and sightlines over enclosed cabin protection.
Power and Fuel Capacity
Twin Yamaha 350-horsepower four-stroke engines deliver the performance envelope expected from a 34-foot center console designed for offshore fishing. Four-stroke technology provides improved fuel efficiency compared to two-stroke alternatives, a meaningful consideration for boats regularly operating 30-50 miles offshore where fuel consumption directly impacts range and trip economics. The 375-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore range, particularly when cruising at moderate speeds that maximize fuel efficiency. For boats operating from Southwest Florida ports, a 375-gallon tank enables runs to deep-water canyons, offshore structure, and distant fishing grounds without requiring mid-trip refueling. The 30-gallon freshwater capacity supports basic galley operations and crew hygiene needs during extended trips. With 490 hours on the engines, the powerplants remain well within the service life of modern four-stroke marine engines, which typically operate reliably through 3,000-5,000 hours before major maintenance becomes necessary. This low-hour condition represents a practical advantage for buyers prioritizing mechanical reliability and reduced near-term service costs.
Vessel Category and Use Case
The 2008 Pursuit C 340 Center Console fits squarely within the offshore fishing boat category, a specialized segment designed for anglers pursuing pelagic species, deep-water structure, and extended trips beyond coastal waters. The notched transom, open deck layout, livewell system, rod storage, and electronics integration all reflect this single-purpose design philosophy. The vessel is equally suited to recreational cruising, with sufficient fuel capacity, freshwater systems, and comfort features to support weekend family trips. The cushioned gunwales, cup holders, and optional seating configurations acknowledge that modern fishing boats often serve dual roles—serious angling platforms during weekday charters or dedicated fishing trips, and comfortable family cruising vessels during weekend leisure time. The 2.5-foot draft supports operation in moderately shallow water, allowing access to near-shore structure, inlets, and coastal fishing grounds that deeper-draft vessels cannot efficiently reach. This draft also simplifies trailering and launching at ramps with limited water depth, expanding the geographic range of accessible fishing destinations.
Condition and Readiness
The seller's description—"Low Hour Boat No time to use"—indicates that this vessel has been preserved rather than heavily worked, a meaningful distinction in the used boat market. Low engine hours combined with a recent trailer suggest that the boat has been well-maintained and stored during periods of non-use, conditions that generally support mechanical longevity and reduce the likelihood of deferred maintenance issues. The phrase "Fully Loaded Ready for the Water" reflects the comprehensive equipment package, indicating that the buyer acquires a functional offshore fishing platform without requiring significant additional investment in navigation systems, fishing equipment,
