Matching a modified vee Pursuit C 180 2013 against a deep vee Pursuit SC 365i 2013 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 SC 365i 2013 measures 41,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 23,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Pursuit C 180 2013 at 17,8 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit C 180 2013 tips the scales at 2 275 lbs — 500 lbs more than the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 at 1 775 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 700 hp, the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 has a 550-hp advantage over the Pursuit C 180 2013's 150-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 2013 carries 47 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Pursuit SC 365i 2013. 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 SC 365i 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Pursuit C 180 2013 caps at 5. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 could be the deciding factor.
