The Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console is a do-it-all kind of boat with a solid sense of style. Centre console designs have been developed for the southern blue water sport fishing enthusiasts (and this boat would raise fish with the best of them) but the Pursuit S 268 Sport centre console offers far more utility and enjoyment than just fishing.
Ron and Pat Reder started out in October 1984 across the road from where they are right now on the Bayfield River in Bayfield ON. The store front was about 10 x 20 and the rest of that side of the building was a stock room, wood finishing room, then behind that was more back stock and the lunchroom. Expanding every few years for the store front, then moving over to this new building five years ago, this year with Adam, Shelley, and Holly are carrying on the business.

Yes, achieving a Guinness Book record is pretty impressive; not surprisingly, there is a designation for the world’s oldest water-skier. For a few months in 2021, that title belonged to then 92-year-old Ontarian, who set the record on Bella Lake near Huntsville, ON. Three months later, an American, Tibor Kupferstein (then 93!), eclipsed that record in Delray Beach, Florida. This past August 2023, Fox News reported that Ejnar Dyrr is a 94-year-old from Utah attempted to set the record but for seated waterskiing.

Not surprisingly, things going awry at the launch ramp are featured regularly.
While almost every other boat segment saw sales declines in 2023, the National Marine Manufacturers Association in the U.S. reported a 15% year-over-year sales increase for personal watercraft (PWCs). PWCs are easily trailerable, small enough to store in your garage and yet able to cover long distances, carry passengers, tow for tubing and wake sports, go camping, go fishing, or just be a thrill!
