The Pursuit DC 326 is the point where Pursuit’s dual-console concept starts to feel like a small express boat above deck, with a 10-foot-10-inch beam, 300 gallons of fuel and large wraparound social zones.
Buyers tend to notice the finish and layout first on a Pursuit DC 326, but the better place to begin is mission. This boat is the point where Pursuit’s dual-console concept starts to feel like a small express boat above deck, with a 10-foot-10-inch beam, 300 gallons of fuel and large wraparound social zones. It works best for owners who carry bigger crews and want serious protection, refrigeration, entertaining space and fishing capability without committing to a full overnight cruiser. At 34′ 6″ overall and 10′ 10″ of beam, with about 12,900 lb of dry weight, the DC 326 has enough physical presence to demand a realistic storage and service plan. It carries 300 gal of fuel and accepts up to 700 hp. More important than the raw numbers is the reason they are packaged this way: A wide bridge deck, side boarding door, wraparound lounge and enclosed head make the 326 far more than a stretched runabout, while twin 350s keep the propulsion package simpler than the 365’s triples. The 326 earns its room with beam and weight. That helps comfort and storage, but it also changes towability, slip selection and the effort required to move the boat around tight marinas. Use the DC 306 as the first check when the buyer wants a narrower, lighter twin-engine boat with a smaller dockage footprint. The DC 365 belongs in the conversation when the buyer wants the overnight-capable flagship with triple power and a real cabin. Consider the S 328 when the buyer wants a center console that uses similar length for more fishing circulation.
The DC 326 marks a shift in scale. Ten feet ten inches of beam, 300 gallons of fuel and a broad port bridge lounge make the boat feel more like a small open yacht than a stretched bowrider. That extra width is the reason to buy it: people can stay under the hardtop, move around the cockpit and still leave room for fishing. The same width is also the reason to confirm slip and lift constraints before falling in love with the layout.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
The running surface on the DC 326 finishes at 20° of transom deadrise. Beam is 10′ 10″, while published draft ranges from 2′ 0″ engines-up to 2′ 11″ engines-down. At about 12,900 lb dry, this hull should not be evaluated as though that figure represents the boat in the water. The 300 gal fuel tank, freshwater, passengers and equipment all add load. The nearest comparison is the DC 306. Put the two boats in the same conditions if possible, because a narrower, lighter twin-engine boat with a smaller dockage footprint may matter more than a small difference in asking price.
The 20-degree transom and 12,900-pound dry weight give the 326 a different kind of ride from the narrower 306. It should feel planted, but the broader hull also presents more surface to wind at low speed. During the sea trial, move from open water directly into a real docking exercise. The owner needs to like both parts of the boat’s personality, not just the offshore run.
With twin Yamaha F350 and a maximum of 700 hp, the DC 326 has an engine package chosen for a substantial offshore hull.
Twin F350s keep the engine count at two while supplying 700 total horsepower. That is an appealing compromise on a boat this wide because the service plan remains simpler than the DC 365’s triples. Verify that the 350s are matched in hours and maintenance and that steering or joystick functions are crisp. With 300 gallons of fuel and a large crew aboard, a healthy pair should still feel comfortable rather than strained.
The DC 326 carries 300 gal of fuel. Ownership math changes once the DC 326 is loaded. The dry figure is about 12,900 lb, and a full 300 gal fuel load adds substantial mass before freshwater, people and gear. That wet condition is the one a lift, haul-out yard or transport plan needs to support. Buyers moving up from a smaller boat should confirm those limits before assuming their current infrastructure will carry the DC 326.
For the DC 326, range should be estimated from the trips the family actually makes. Start with the 300 gal tank, record fuel flow at a comfortable cruise and include the slower running that happens around inlets, sandbars and fishing spots. A DC 326 family day often mixes cruising, no-wake running, fishing and short repositioning rather than one steady out-and-back cruise. Planning from the exact boat’s display gives the buyer a better answer than applying one published consumption number to the whole day.
The DC 326 needs to prove two things underway: that the hull is comfortable in the owner’s water and that the driver can manage it without unnecessary effort. Test both. If the buyer is also considering the DC 306 for a narrower, lighter twin-engine boat with a smaller dockage footprint, compare visibility, noise and low-speed control as carefully as speed.
Build the DC 326 sea trial around the way a dual-console crew actually rides. Put passengers behind the windshield and in the bow, then run the 20° hull at the cruise speed the family will use most. Watch how much tab is needed as people move around and whether spray reaches the protected seating. The model should make its case through A wide bridge deck, side boarding door, wraparound lounge and enclosed head make the 326 far more than a stretched runabout, while twin 350s keep the propulsion package simpler than the 365’s triples. If that advantage does not feel meaningful underway, compare the DC 306 before deciding.
Use the DC 326 deck the way the owner will use it on Saturday, not the way it is staged for photography. The details that distinguish this model include Port wraparound bridge lounge, Starboard hull-side boarding door and Rotating helm seat. Each should feel deliberate.
The port wraparound lounge is a defining 326 feature because it gives passengers a true social area behind the windshield. Rotate the helm chair and test the boat at anchor to see whether the bridge deck actually works as one conversation space. Then clear the aft cockpit and inspect the livewell, tackle storage and side door. The 326 only makes sense if it can serve both halves of its brief without one constantly getting in the other’s way.
The port side can carry several passengers facing forward or aft, giving the bridge deck a genuinely social layout.
Dock access and water entry are easier on a boat this wide when people do not need to climb over gunwales.
The captain's seat can participate in the social area once the boat is at rest.
The head is built as a true compartment rather than a console afterthought.
Sink, cutting surface and storage support full-day use without requiring a cabin galley.
The fishing systems remain integrated even though the boat leans heavily toward family comfort.
Buyers can add climate control to the bridge area, which materially changes hot-weather comfort.
The cockpit can gain shade without permanent canvas blocking the fishing area.
The DC 326 systems check should focus on the equipment that makes this particular model valuable: Port wraparound bridge lounge, Enclosed head with vacuum-flush system, Recirculating livewell and tackle storage and Available one-touch retractable sunshade. Begin with the electrical foundation.
Available air conditioning, generator equipment and retractable shade can move the 326 into a higher systems tier quickly. Those options are worthwhile in hot climates, but they should be inspected like yacht equipment. Run the generator under real load, extend and retract the shade more than once, and confirm air-conditioning output after the cockpit has warmed. A rarely used option can be the one most likely to have been neglected.
The DC 326 should be planned as a day boat, not bought with the expectation that an occasional sheltered space will turn it into a cruiser. Its storage problem is still substantial: 34′ 6″ overall, 10′ 10″ of beam and about 12,900 lb dry before fuel or gear. Account for the outboard engines behind the transom, boarding room, hardtop height and the wet weight created by 300 gal of fuel.
Despite its size, the 326 remains primarily a day boat. That can be a benefit. Owners gain the wide social deck and big-boat feel without devoting interior volume to berths they may never use. The trade is that a couple planning regular weekends aboard will outgrow the day-only arrangement quickly. For that buyer, the DC 365 or OS 355 should be compared before the 326’s spacious deck becomes the only criterion.
Use the gallery to judge the parts of the DC 326 that dimensions alone cannot explain: sightlines, cockpit
On a DC 326, a functioning joystick, current electronics package, healthy refrigeration or documented gyro service can justify real money. Engine records carry extra weight because the boat uses twin Yamaha F350.
On a 326, systems condition can move value as much as engine hours. A boat with fresh electronics, a serviced generator and a healthy shade or climate package may justify more money than a lower-priced example that needs several five-figure systems addressed at once. The survey should identify which expensive options are genuinely current and which are only present on the equipment list.

The DC 306 is the first comparison when the buyer wants a narrower, lighter twin-engine boat with a smaller dockage footprint. Against the DC 326, those differences change more than performance; they change crew space, service burden and where the boat fits physically. Look at the DC 365 when the buyer wants the overnight-capable flagship with triple power and a real cabin. The S 328 belongs on the list when the buyer wants a center console that uses similar length for more fishing circulation. The DC 326 should remain the choice only when its own case stays clear after those comparisons: A wide bridge deck, side boarding door, wraparound lounge and enclosed head make the 326 far more than a stretched runabout, while twin 350s keep the propulsion package simpler than the 365’s triples.
The size comparison with the DC 306 is worth putting on paper. The DC 326 is 34′ 6″ long with 10′ 10″ of beam, while the DC 306 is 31′ 11″ with a 9′ 11″ beam. Fuel capacity is 300 gal versus 224 gal. Those differences can affect dockage and operating cost just as much as they affect cockpit space.
Start a DC 326 purchase by confirming what the boat actually is. The DC 326 is affordable when the buyer can purchase it and still maintain the systems that made it desirable.
The DC 326 works best for an owner who wants width and day comfort more than cabin volume. Confirm that the 10-foot-10-inch beam fits the marina and that the family really uses the bridge lounge. If both answers are yes, the boat can avoid the extra engine and overnight systems of the 365 while still feeling substantial. If the crew expects to sleep aboard, the model decision is already pointing upward.
The specifications on this guide describe the current or reference DC 326 configuration used for comparison. Pursuit equipment can change by model year, and engines or options may differ on an individual boat. Before closing, verify the hull identification, the installed twin Yamaha F350 package and every high-value option that influenced the price.
Once the DC 326 has passed the fit, condition and sea-trial tests, the buyer can evaluate financing for the actual boat.
