THE ICONIC FLAGSHIP OF THE PURSUIT CENTRE-CONSOLE SPORT BOAT SERIES
The size, power and amenities built into the brand new S 428, deem it the epitome of a legend—with the ability to fish, cruise and entertain in unrivaled style and comfort. The iconic bow features removable tables with designated storage, bow sun pad chaise for two people, with adjustable backrests, armrests, and drink holders.
Remarkably, not only is the S 428 the largest boat Pursuit has ever built, it’s also the most powerful and the most spacious. Quad Yamaha 425 XTO engines work in perfect unison, becoming the driving force behind your adventures. Controlled with a Yamaha® Helm Masterex™ it has full maneuverability steering system control, and a single joystick operation with autopilot. The boat is wired with an 8-battery system, a 60-cycle 7.5 kW Cummins Onan diesel generator and the hull is fitted with a Zipwake Trim Control System, Series S interceptors with fully automatic pitch and roll control and, for easy docking, a bow thruster.
With the largest aft cockpit in its class, you can haul in your record-breaking catch through either of its hull-side doors. This grand footprint has an abundance of rod holders, three fish boxes, ample tackle storage and bait prep areas, plus extra-large fridge and freezer boxes. The cockpit tackle centre has storage with trays and drawers. There is rod storage under the gunwales, under the hardtop, in the cabin, and above the hardtop radar, antenna and outrigger mountings.
There’s even an industry-first second row of powered, convertible seats under the oversized hardtop. The Pursuit cockpit boasts a JL Audio custom-tuned entertainment system, and all equipment can be easily accessed by a helm machinery access hatch. There is LED lighting throughout. The helm has a molded fibreglass aft-tilting helm with instrumentation visor, electronics mounting surface, and fold-out fibreglass footrest. The stainless steering wheel has a control knob and non-slip grip on a Yamaha electric steering control with programmable steering friction, Yamaha® Command Link Plus display with optional Garmin electronics. In the rain, there is a single windshield wiper with washer control.
When it’s time to entertain, your crew will have plenty of social zones to choose from, whether it’s the multi-function forward lounge seating or the plush aft-facing seat. There isn’t anyone who won’t be begging to tag along for the day.
A spacious and tastefully designed interior has plenty of light and great views, thanks to the innovative cabin and the high- tech molded hull which features frameless tempered glass hull-side windows. The cabin boasts a dinette that converts to a double bed, and it has a skylight. There are warm and inviting solid wood veneers on the interior cabinetry, and there is plenty of well thought out storage. On either a cold or hot day the reverse cycle heat or air conditioning, and a microwave for heating food, will make you comfortable. There is also a separate head with vacuum flush and a shower with hot/cold mixing valve and shower wand.
Ideal for Queensland waters, the hull draft with motors up is a mere 0.86 m and with motors down just 1.14 m. The Pursuit S 428’s overall length is 13.33 m, with an impressive beam of 3.96 m and a dead rise of 22°. Under the floor there is a 2,071 L fuel tank to take you way offshore, and you can carry 265 L of fresh water. There is also a 90 L diesel generator tank. For added safety each vessel is fitted standard with two 5500 LPH bilge pumps with electric switches. The S 428 has a self-draining cockpit with molded water management and 316L stainless steel drainage grates.
The S 428 is covered by a Pursuit® Protection Plan, 5-year hull and deck structural warranty, 5-year blister free warranty, and a 2-year limited warranty.
The hardest part? Trying to decide what to do first. The S 428 sport boat is brimming with amenities so you and your family really can do it all. Whether that’s swimming up to the electro-hydraulic hull-side beach platform, fishing from the generous cockpit, or getting ready to grill in the well-appointed entertainment centre, every detail was designed to go beyond your wildest expectations. Powerful, sleek and grand, this is the stuff of legends.
