Matching a modified vee Pursuit C 180 2012 against a deep vee Pursuit OS 375 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Pursuit OS 375 2010 measures 39,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 21,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Pursuit C 180 2012 at 17,8 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit OS 375 2010 tips the scales at 18 985 lbs — 16 721 lbs less than the Pursuit C 180 2012 at 2 264 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 050 hp, the Pursuit OS 375 2010 has a 935-hp advantage over the Pursuit C 180 2012's 115-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Pursuit C 180 2012 carries 47 gallons versus 37 gallons in the Pursuit OS 375 2010. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Pursuit OS 375 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Pursuit C 180 2012 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pursuit OS 375 2010 could be the deciding factor.
