At 25’8" length overall, the 2025 Pursuit Dual Console 246 is built to handle the protected bays to channel crossings to Catalina Island. Even so, it’s small and simple enough, with a single engine to be economical to run, maintain, and even tow on a dual-axle trailer for exploring a variety of waters on the bay, rivers and lakes.
With its dual-console layout, the DC 246 serves well for pure boat rides, fishing adventures, picnics, and tow sports. Twin bow lounges, comfortable helm and companion seats, an innovative aft-facing seat with pullout lounge to port, and folding seats for three at the transom allow for a highly versatile vessel.
The port console holds a head compartment/changing room with a choice of portable or mounted toilet, the latter with a holding tank. That door curves overhead to ease the process of backing into the space, though we found the headroom tight for tall people while sitting. The starboard (helm) console comes with big storage along with secure racks for rods and a table for the bow cockpit.
A sturdy transom door to starboard provides access to a broad stern platform wrapping around the engine. To port, the platform holds a storage compartment for lines. To starboard, it houses a telescopic boarding ladder for swimming and towing. The Yamaha’s digital electric steering and HelmMaster EX digital electric throttle and shift controls all run neatly through one conduit, making for compact rigging that keeps the whole transom platform clear for walking around.
Pursuit builds fishing boats, and the DC 246 is no exception. This boat would adapt to any fishing scenario for Southern California and more. Add the optional four rod-holders on the hardtop’s legs and four more on the top’s after edge to supplement the four in the gunwales. The hardtop and rod holders offer multiple rigging options for trolling, including streaming planer boards. The transom holds a 15-gallon, blue, insulated livewell to port and a 31-gallon insulated fishbox in the center.
