The Pursuit DC 365 is the flagship dual console in this set, combining open-bow family use with triple-outboard performance and enough cabin space for a couple or small family to overnight.
The Pursuit DC 365 makes the most sense when the buyer starts with the day on the water rather than the model number. It is the flagship dual console in this set, combining open-bow family use with triple-outboard performance and enough cabin space for a couple or small family to overnight, and its clearest audience is buyers who want one boat for fishing, protected cruising, sandbar days and occasional weekends aboard without moving into an Offshore cabin model. On paper, the DC 365 measures 37′ 11″ overall with a 12′ 0″ beam, weighs about 17,000 lb dry and carries 326 gal of fuel. The more important point is that Its cabin, full-beam sunroof, triple power and convertible cockpit make it the only dual console here that genuinely bridges day boating and short overnight cruising. There is a real compromise. The DC 365 can do far more than the smaller dual consoles, but the 12-foot beam, 17,000-pound dry weight, triple engines and generator-level systems make ownership much closer to a yacht than a trailerable day boat. The closest alternative is the DC 326 when the buyer wants a lighter twin-engine day boat with less cabin complexity. The OS 355 deserves attention when the buyer wants a cabin-forward offshore cruiser with more emphasis on overnight comfort. The S 358 becomes relevant when the buyer wants a center console with similar overall capability but more open fishing circulation.
The DC 365 is the Dual Console series at its most ambitious. It keeps an open bow and convertible fishing cockpit, then adds a forward berth, aft berth, 12 feet of beam and triple-engine power. That combination is useful for owners who want one boat to cover family day use and occasional weekends. It is less sensible for someone who only wants a large day boat, because the cabin and third engine carry costs whether they are used or not.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.
Pursuit lists the DC 365 at 20° of transom deadrise, with a 12′ 0″ beam and draft of 2′ 2″ with the engines up and 3′ 1″ with them down. The published dry weight is about 17,000 lb. Add 326 gal of fuel when full, freshwater where equipped, batteries, safety gear, fishing equipment, food and options. On this DC 365, look down the chines and strakes for repairs, inspect the keel and transom for impact marks, and pay attention to side-door openings and through-hulls. The DC 326 is the useful hull comparison because it offers a lighter twin-engine day boat with less cabin complexity.
Seventeen thousand pounds dry and 12 feet of beam give the 365 far more inertia than the smaller Dual Consoles. That can make the boat feel confident offshore, but it also changes low-speed behavior and docking. The sea trial should include a windy approach to a slip if possible. Bow thruster and joystick systems are valuable here because the boat has enough side area for wind to matter.
The reference power package for the DC 365 is triple Yamaha F350, with up to 1,050 hp.
Triple F350s are a major ownership decision. The third engine adds thrust and redundancy, but it also adds another gearcase, propeller, set of service parts and potential repair path. Check hours and service history across all three, not just the center engine. A well-maintained triple set should show consistent temperatures and rpm at cruise. One engine working noticeably harder than the others deserves diagnosis.
Published fuel capacity on the DC 365 is 326 gal. Ownership math changes once the DC 365 is loaded. The dry figure is about 17,000 lb, and a full 326 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 365.
For the DC 365, range should be estimated from the trips the family actually makes. Start with the 326 gal tank, record fuel flow at a comfortable cruise and include the slower running that happens around inlets, sandbars and fishing spots. A DC 365 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.
Performance on the DC 365 is best measured by comfort and control at the speeds the owner will actually use. If the DC 326 is also on the list because a lighter twin-engine day boat with less cabin complexity, run it in similar conditions.
Build the DC 365 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 Its cabin, full- beam sunroof, triple power and convertible cockpit make it the only dual console here that genuinely bridges day boating and short overnight cruising. If that advantage does not feel meaningful underway, compare the DC 326 before deciding.
The DC 365 deck should be tested with real gear aboard. Three features reveal the model’s priorities: Forward and aft cabin berths, Full-beam hardtop sunroof and Triple F350 outboards.
The 365’s bridge deck and full-beam sunroof are central to how the boat feels with a family aboard. Open the roof, close it, move through the port lounge and then convert the cockpit for fishing. The electric grill and entertainment area should not obstruct the working stern. On a boat this expensive, convenience should feel integrated rather than like a collection of unrelated premium features.
28-gallon livewell and fish box – The flagship retains enough fishing equipment to justify the dual-console utility claim.
The 365 can support a genuine weekend aboard rather than simply offering a place to get out of the weather.
The bridge can feel open when conditions are good and protected when wind or weather arrives.
Three engines deliver the power expected at this size and create a different service and fuel budget from the 326.
Passengers can stay close to the helm under the hardtop rather than being pushed into the bow or aft cockpit.
The bridge-deck food-prep station makes lunch or dinner aboard practical.
The aft cockpit can switch between social use and a more open fishing layout.
Electronics are only one part of the DC 365 systems story. The buyer should also operate Full-beam hardtop sunroof, Cockpit entertainment center with grill, 28-gallon livewell and fish box and any climate, generator or stabilization equipment installed on the exact boat.
A DC 365 can carry bow thruster, joystick, generator, climate control, refrigeration, powered sunroof and extensive electronics in addition to normal pumps and sanitation. That is a lot of equipment to inherit. Run the generator with air conditioning and refrigeration operating, then repeat the low-speed joystick test after the house loads have been on. The goal is to see the boat as a complete electrical and mechanical system.
Overnight capability on the DC 365 is described as weekend-capable cabin with a forward berth and separate aft berth. Freshwater capacity is 42 gal, with 22 gal for waste.
The forward and aft berths make the 365 genuinely different from the 326. A couple can spend a weekend aboard, and a small family has separate sleeping zones. Test the berths with bedding in place and look at where bags will go. If the cabin feels cramped for the intended party, an OS 355 may be the better overnight platform because its interior was designed around cruising rather than added to an open-bow layout.
Use the gallery to judge the parts of the DC 365 that dimensions alone cannot explain: sightlines, cockpit
The Pursuit DC 365 market should be read as a range rather than a single number. Compare hours, service dates and fault history across the entire triple Yamaha F350 package.
The DC 365 should be valued more like a small yacht than a big runabout. Triple engine records, generator hours, air-conditioning service, refrigerator condition, bow thruster, joystick and roof hardware all affect the first-year budget. A lower price can disappear quickly if several of those systems are due at once. Clean documentation is worth real money at this level.

The DC 326 is the first comparison when the buyer wants a lighter twin-engine day boat with less cabin complexity. Against the DC 365, those differences change more than performance; they change crew space, service burden and where the boat fits physically. Look at the OS 355 when the buyer wants a cabin-forward offshore cruiser with more emphasis on overnight comfort. The S 358 belongs on the list when the buyer wants a center console with similar overall capability but more open fishing circulation. The DC 365 should remain the choice only when its own case stays clear after those comparisons: Its cabin, full-beam sunroof, triple power and convertible cockpit make it the only dual console here that genuinely bridges day boating and short overnight cruising.
The size comparison with the DC 326 is worth putting on paper. The DC 365 is 37′ 11″ long with 12′ 0″ of beam, while the DC 326 is 34′ 6″ with a 10′ 10″ beam. Fuel capacity is 326 gal versus 300 gal. Those differences can affect dockage and operating cost just as much as they affect cockpit space.
Start a DC 365 purchase by confirming what the boat actually is. The DC 365 is affordable when the buyer can purchase it and still maintain the systems that made it desirable.
The deciding question is whether the owner wants the 365’s hybrid mission. If open-bow social space matters every weekend and overnight capability matters often enough to justify the cabin, the boat occupies a useful niche. If the bow is rarely used and the cabin is the priority, the OS 355 is more coherent. If nobody sleeps aboard, the DC 326 may deliver most of the day experience with less mechanical overhead.
The specifications on this guide describe the current or reference DC 365 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 triple Yamaha F350 package and every high-value option that influenced the price.
