POWER REVIEW | PURSUIT DC 235 A Great Boat for Canada and Mom Approved Too! Story | Jill Snider and Andy Adams Coming from two different directions, Jill Snider and I met up at Crates Lake Country Boats in Orillia, Ontario to run and review a new Pursuit DC 235, a deep vee dual console boat that is an offshore inspired bow rider with strong fishing overtones and a wide range of family features. It's what I would call a handsome, classically styled boat that I suspect will still look fresh many years into the future. Jill had a different take on it. She said, "This boat has profound dockside appeal. It screams sexy. I was lured to it the moment I hit the dock." Jill has joined Canadian Yachting recently but she has a long boating background having run or worked in several marinas and she attended Georgian College for some of her training. She is a life-long boater and she also has a 7-year old son. Together with her husband and son, Jill spends as much time as possible aboard their Boston Whaler in Georgian Bay. The Pursuit has some of the same aesthetic as her 'Whaler. She had a feeling for the DC 235 right away. The size and power from the Yamaha F 300 delivers strong performance that can even handle wake surfing. The dual console design is great for Canada's seasonal boating. You can open it up in summer or weatherproof for wind and rain. Our test boat had the optional hard top and it offered great sun protection, an easy place to hang the canvas and it was on a big strong powder coated frame that was soft on the hands and gave a secured grip when you needed to www.canadianyachting.ca 43http://www.canadianyachting.ca
