Inside the NY Boat Show: Why Pursuit Boats Are Raising the Bar in 2026

This special NY Boat Show podcast series episode brings listeners straight onto the show floor for an in-depth conversation with two key figures behind one of the most respected boat brands in the industry. Captain Gaige sits down with Kurt Bohrer, Northeast Sales Manager for Pursuit Boats, and Brandon Weitz , a Pursuit brand ambassador who lives and breathes the lifestyle these boats are built for.

Recorded live from the New York Boat Show at the Jacob Javits Center, this episode is a must-listen for anyone walking the show—or planning their next boat purchase. Kurt Bohrer breaks down which Pursuit models are being showcased this year and why they stand out in an increasingly competitive market. From offshore-capable center consoles to versatile dual consoles and refined express models, listeners get a clear picture of how Pursuit continues to blend fishability, luxury, and real-world performance.

Captain Gaige dives deep into what buyers should actually be looking for when shopping for a new boat at a major show like this. Layout, ride quality, power options, storage, electronics packages, and long-term ownership considerations are all on the table. Brandon Weitz adds the ambassador perspective, sharing firsthand experience on the water and explaining what it’s like to run, fish, and entertain aboard a Pursuit in real conditions—not just under showroom lights.

The conversation also highlights why Pursuit is widely considered one of the top-of-the-line boats at this year’s show. Attention to detail, premium finishes, and thoughtful design choices set these boats apart, whether you’re a hardcore angler, a family boater, or someone looking for a platform that does it all. The guys discuss how Pursuit listens to customer feedback and evolves each model year to meet the needs of Northeast boaters and beyond.
