Pursuit S 268 Value: A Market Report (2026)
An independent market report. We don’t sell boats or listings. Last reviewed June 2026. (We don’t own an S 268, so the owner feedback below is sourced from boating forums and published reviews, and attributed.)
What’s a Pursuit S 268 worth? As of June 2026, used S 268s are listed (asking) from about $155,000 (Sport trim) up to about $277,000 new, averaging around $185,000 to $190,000. A typical 2020 to 2022 boat asks $170,000 to $200,000. Pursuit is a premium-built brand, so these tend to sell roughly 6 to 9 percent under asking. Selling figures here are honest estimates, not recorded sales.
The Pursuit S 268 is a premium 26 foot sport center console, known for exceptional fit and finish and a versatile fish-or-family layout. Here’s the pricing across years and what owners actually say.
What it’s listed for (current market)
Compiled from current listings across the major sites (boats.com and Boat Trader). The S 268 is a relatively newer model, so used inventory skews recent. Asking runs from about $155,000 (S 268 Sport trim) to about $277,000 (new, fully optioned), averaging near $185,000 to $190,000.
Value by model year
Anchored on the observed low (about $155K, Sport trim), average (about $189K), and new high (about $277K). Bands without a direct sample are interpolated and marked (est.):
| Model year | Typical asking | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| New (2025 to 2026) | $230,000 to $277,000 | observed high |
| 2022 to 2024 | $190,000 to $230,000 | (est.) |
| 2019 to 2021 | $155,000 to $200,000 | observed (Sport trim at low end) |
The takeaway: the S 268 holds value well and there isn’t a huge gap between a clean used boat and a new one, which tells you demand for a well-built Pursuit stays firm. Trim level (standard vs Sport) explains a lot of the spread.
What it likely sells for
Pursuit is a premium brand, so the S 268 typically sells roughly 6 to 9 percent under asking. A 2021 asking about $190K likely trades around $174K to $179K. These are estimates, not recorded sales. Actual sold prices aren’t public.
How it holds value
Strongly for the segment. Pursuit’s build quality and reputation keep used demand steady, close behind Grady-White and Boston Whaler.
What owners and reviewers say
Sourced from owner discussion on The Hull Truth and reviews (Boating, Center Console Life), weighted by recurring themes.
What owners praise (often): standout quality, fit, and finish that “exceeded expectations”; remarkably engineered construction with high-end materials; a genuinely versatile fish-or-cruise layout; and good spray management, with hard chines and lift strakes shepherding water away in a sea trial.
Common notes and gripes (some): the ride draws mixed reviews. Most love it, but some owners who have run other offshore boats note a Pursuit “can come down pretty hard” in a steep chop, so a sea trial in real conditions is worth it.
Overall sentiment is strongly positive, especially on build quality and finish.
Also consider
Grady-White Canyon 271 or Fisherman 257, Robalo R272, Boston Whaler 250 Outrage, Sailfish 272, and the Pursuit S 288 if you want a step up.
