Our Thoughts

The 2023 Pursuit S 428 Sport represents a thoughtfully engineered dual-purpose platform that bridges serious offshore fishing capability with premium family cruising comfort. Moored in Harwich, MA, this 42-foot center console delivers the versatility and build quality Pursuit is known for, backed by a comprehensive five-year hull and structural warranty that reflects confidence in the construction.

Build & Hull Design

Pursuit's construction philosophy is evident throughout this S 428. The hull features fresh white gelcoat over a laminated composite structure using vinyl ester resin and engineered fabrics, with a five-ply resin-infused composite transom system and patented transom reinforcement grid. Below the waterline, bronze thru-hull fittings and a bronze garboard drain provide corrosion resistance, while stainless steel clad composite fittings above the seven-degree heel line ensure durability in the splash zone. The molded hull side incorporates frameless tempered glass windows, and the integrated transom platform extensions outboard of the engines facilitate easy boarding and water access. Zipwake Series S interceptors with fully automatic pitch and roll control help manage running attitude and fuel efficiency across sea states.

Propulsion & Performance

Power comes from Yamaha outboard engines—the specific horsepower configuration is typical for this model class, delivering the blend of speed and fuel efficiency expected from modern four-stroke outboard propulsion. The engines are equipped with Yamaha electronic engine flush hose connections for convenient freshwater flushing. A substantial 547-gallon fuel capacity supports extended offshore range, while the 70-gallon fresh water system covers extended cruising or fishing trips. A 5.4 HP (4.0kW) bow thruster with dedicated Group 31 AGM battery provides precision station-keeping and docking assistance, controlled via joystick from the helm.

Helm & Navigation

The helm station centers on a molded fiberglass aft-tilting design with a stainless steel steering wheel and Yamaha electric steering with programmable friction control. The standout electronics package includes a Garmin 8622 xsv multifunction display paired with a Garmin Fantom open array radar, creating a premium glass cockpit setup ideal for offshore navigation and fish finding. Sirius XM weather integration keeps you informed on extended passages. A Ritchie Navigator compass provides traditional backup, and overhead Yamaha Command Link Plus displays (which delete with the Garmin system) manage engine monitoring and systems integration. The helm features custom blue LED accents, a Zipwake trim system control panel, and dedicated cup holders with stainless steel hardware. A fold-down footrest and safety lanyard support comfortable, secure operation in rough conditions.

Seakeeping & Stabilization

A Seakeeper 6 gyro stabilizer with factory-certified installation and four-year Recreation Gold warranty significantly reduces roll and enhances comfort during extended offshore passages. This system is particularly valuable for family cruising and fishing scenarios where sea state comfort directly impacts enjoyment and safety. The gyro stabilizer's integration into the aft mechanical space is complete, and factory support is included through the warranty period.

Cockpit Layout & Fishing Features

The cockpit is extensively engineered for both entertaining and fishing. Forward seating includes a molded bow section with insulated storage below, electric-actuating hinged backrests, a fiberglass bow table with removable base, and a bow sunpad chaise for two with adjustable backrests and drink holders. A removable jump seat provides flexible seating configuration. The aft cockpit features

2023 Pursuit S 428 Sport – Premium Offshore Fishing and Family Cruising Yacht
Overview
The 2023 Pursuit S 428 Sport represents a mature expression of the builder's philosophy: a 42-foot center console designed to excel equally as a serious offshore fishing platform and a comfortable family cruising vessel. Located in Harwich, Massachusetts, this particular example—named "Moore Time"—arrives equipped with an extensive roster of factory options and premium upgrades that reflect owner priorities toward both capability and comfort. At 13 feet of beam and 3.75 feet of draft, the S 428 Sport occupies a compelling middle ground in the modern sportfish market, offering genuine offshore range and sea-keeping ability without sacrificing the shallow-water access and fuel efficiency that appeal to varied boating lifestyles. Pursuit's engineering philosophy emphasizes structural integrity and long-term durability. The S 428 Sport hull employs a five-ply resin-infused composite construction with vinyl ester resin and engineered fabrics, supported by a patented transom reinforcement grid and molded fiberglass structural grid system. This approach distributes loads efficiently and integrates bilge water management directly into the hull architecture. Bronze through-hull fittings below the waterline, stainless steel cladding above the seven-degree heel line, and a bronze garboard drain reflect marine-grade material selection throughout. The factory offers a five-year hull and deck structural warranty, a five-year blister-free warranty, and a two-year limited warranty as standard, providing documented confidence in the build quality.
Layout and Deck Design
The S 428 Sport's deck plan prioritizes both fishing access and social functionality. Forward, a molded bow seating arrangement accommodates a sunpad chaise for two with adjustable backrests, armrests, and drink holders, flanked by forward-facing seating for two additional passengers. Electric-actuating hinged forward-facing backrests on the port and starboard bow seats allow clear passage forward, while a removable jump seat offers flexible configuration. Fiberglass bow tables with removable bases and designated storage provide casual dining or tackle staging, and a dedicated bow floor access hatch opens to a gear locker beneath deck. The cockpit itself represents a fully integrated living and working space. A molded forward bow seating area includes insulated storage below, and the entire aft section features a power-sliding mezzanine seat with armrests and dedicated storage, paired with a secondary row of forward-facing bridge seats that slide fore and aft electrically. A custom molded cockpit table with dedicated storage, a folding transom seat with patent-pending flipping backrest, and a molded entertainment center with Corian accents create defined zones for dining, entertainment, and tackle staging. The entertainment center includes a molded sink with hot/cold mixing faucet, an electric cockpit grill, a top-load refrigerator/freezer with digitally controlled thermostat, cutting board, dedicated storage drawers, and a 120-volt outlet with GFI protection. Stainless steel hardware defines the deck. Ten-inch pop-up cleats (two stern, four spring, two bow) facilitate secure docking, while molded recessed hatches with gaskets and stainless steel latches provide weather-tight access to compartments. A flush-mounted integral anchor locker houses a vertical anchor windlass with helm and remote switches, a stainless steel anchor roller with eight-inch mooring cleat, a 35-pound plow-style anchor, and 320 feet of rode (five-eighths-inch eight-plait line including 20 feet of G4 chain). Fresh and raw water quick-connect fittings in the anchor locker support engine and livewell operations. A self-draining cockpit with molded water management and stainless steel drainage grates prevents pooling in rough conditions, while 316L stainless steel grab rails running bow to midship and transom grab rails port and starboard provide secure handholds throughout the working deck. The hardtop is a full-beam molded fiberglass structure with powder-coated supports, integrated ladder rungs for rooftop access, and dedicated locations for radar antenna, outriggers, and additional rod storage. A custom windshield system features optically clear laminated glass with electrically actuated vents port and starboard, tempered side glass with powder-coated frames and grab rails, and a pantograph windshield wiper with fresh water washer. Six tri-color LED navigation lights, two aft-facing spreader lights, and one forward-facing spreader light provide comprehensive illumination, while an external AM/FM antenna with electrically actuated mount and an integrated stereo speaker system (four total) support entertainment throughout the vessel. Two side boarding doors—one inward opening on the port side, one electrically actuated outward opening on the starboard side—each equipped with swim/dive ladder receivers, facilitate safe water entry and exit. An electrically actuated boarding platform on the starboard side adds convenience for swimmers and divers. Ten LED cockpit courtesy lights with a waterproof switch and ten LED mid-level cockpit accent lights with full-spectrum control round out the deck's functional and aesthetic lighting.
Helm and Electronics
The helm station integrates steering, propulsion control, and electronic displays into a unified command center. A molded fiberglass aft-tilting helm with instrumentation visor and fold-out fiberglass footrest/platform provides ergonomic positioning, while a 316L stainless steel steering wheel with control knob and non-slip grip connects to Yamaha electric steering with programmable steering friction. Joystick control for the bow thruster simplifies docking and close-quarters maneuvering, and a Ritchie Navigator compass provides traditional backup navigation reference. This example arrives equipped with a premium Garmin electronics package, including a Garmin 8622 xsv multifunction display, a Garmin Fantom open-array radar, a Garmin rear-facing camera, and Sirius XM weather integration. These systems provide real-time navigation, weather routing, target identification, and integrated autopilot control. A FLIR M332 night-vision thermal imaging system enhances situational awareness during low-light operations and supports nighttime navigation and fish-finding. The Garmin suite deletes the standard Yamaha CL7 display overhead, consolidating information on a single integrated screen. The Yamaha Command Link Plus system manages engine operations, fuel consumption, trim and tilt functions, and system diagnostics. A 12-volt switch panel with illuminated rocker switches and backlit function labels organizes electrical circuits, while a Zipwake trim system control panel provides real-time pitch and roll management. Two extra-deep helm drink holders, two regular drink holders, one 12-volt outlet, and a dual USB charger keep the operator comfortable and connected. A top-load glovebox houses a JL Audio USB port and wireless phone charger, while a custom grab rail and under-gunwale fire extinguisher complete the helm safety and convenience package.
Fishing Features
The S 428 Sport is engineered as a serious offshore fishing platform. Twelve stainless steel rod holders—four in the gunwale, four in the transom, and four in the bow—accommodate a full suite of tackle. Transom livewells (36 gallons each, port and starboard) feature recirculating systems, insulation, fiberglass lids with acrylic windows, and Oceana Blue lighted interiors. A cockpit tackle center on each side stores four Plano trays and includes a dedicated tackle drawer. Three insulated fish boxes totaling 134 gallons provide refrigerated storage. The transom box (68 gallons) incorporates a refrigerator/freezer with digitally controlled thermostat and overboard drain. Two cockpit floor boxes (42 gallons and 24 gallons) employ insulated diaphragm pumps with overboard discharge, maintaining water circulation and temperature control for bait and catch. Additional rod storage includes a lockable under-port-gunwale locker for three rods with custom embroidered reel pad, under-bow-gunwale lockers for two rods port and starboard with custom embroidered reel pads, under-hardtop storage for two rods port and starboard, and a lockable in-cabin locker for four rods. The boat is pre-wired for downrigger installation with aluminum reinforcement plates and wiring at the aft gunwale port and starboard. The factory options list includes 18-foot outriggers, six hardtop rod holders, and a starboard in-deck refrigerated fish box, allowing customization to match specific fishing targets and methods.
