Both the Pursuit OS 345 2012 and the Pursuit OS 375 2008 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department - Pursuit OS 345 2012 at 36,3 ft versus Pursuit OS 375 2008 at 39,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit OS 345 2012 tips the scales at 15 950 lbs - 950 lbs more than the Pursuit OS 375 2008 at 15 000 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling - 700 hp for the Pursuit OS 345 2012 and 700 hp for the Pursuit OS 375 2008. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Pursuit OS 375 2008 carries 370 gallons versus 340 gallons in the Pursuit OS 345 2012. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 11 passengers - a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
