Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Pursuit C 250 2008 vs Pursuit C 340 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Pursuit C 250 2008 vs Pursuit C 340 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Pursuit C 340 2007 measures 34,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Pursuit C 250 2008 at 27,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit C 250 2008 tips the scales at 471 lbs — 378 lbs more than the Pursuit C 340 2007 at 93 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 Pursuit C 340 2007 tops out at 500 hp. Engine specs for the Pursuit C 250 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Pursuit C 340 2007 carries 375 gallons versus 15 gallons in the Pursuit C 250 2008. 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 C 340 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Pursuit C 250 2008 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pursuit C 340 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Pursuit C 340 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Pursuit C 250 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
