Pursuit C280 Center Console

Boat Overview

The Pursuit 280 Center Console is one of the best Pursuit models of this era and really a versatile boat for fishing, family cruising and swimming at the sandbar. This particular boat has been heavily upgraded with bow AND stern thrusters with joystick control and is even more versatile than other center consoles as it is equipped with a full canvas "cocoon" that allows you to camp on the boat overnight!

Lil White is a single owner boat and has always been captain maintained and always stored in indoor dry-stack storage and maintained by a Mercury outboard dealer. Highlights include:

• Bow and Stern thrusters with Yacht Controller Joystick system


• Twin Mercury 300hp Verados with only 450 hours


• Full canvas "cocoon" for overnighting

Lil White is in indoor dry-stack storage in Rhode Island and can be viewed by advance appointment.

Design and Layout

The C280 combines the ultimate in fishability with creature comforts not typically found in hard core fishing machines. Start with helm and companion flip-up bolster-style seating for comfortable operation while sitting or standing. And check out the expansive helm area for mounting multiple large screens for fish finding accuracy. Aft of the helm in the seat base is a 52-gallon lighted, recirculating livewell just opposite of the transom mounted rigging station with removable tackle drawers, cutting surface and molded tool holders. Passengers will appreciate the comfortable and convenient folding stern seat that quickly folds flush to the transom when the fishing begins. The two 29-gallon in-deck fishboxes with macerators are insulated to make your ice last longer so your catch stays fresher. There’s an additional 45-gallon insulated fishbox in the transom. The head compartment within the console features room for storage and contains a manual head with holding tank, pumpout and macerator. The forward console seat base houses a 140-quart cooler and features a plush three-inch thick seat cushion. The molded-in split bow seating affords additional seating as well as unobstructed bow access for anchoring, docking or cast netting.
