The Tiara 3100's from the '80's were sometimes outfitted with extra fishing equipment and referred to as Tiara Pursuits. The only difference between a Tiara and a Tiara Pursuit was a couple fishing options and a couple brand badges. Towards the end of the '80's/beginning of the '90's S2 decided to try to differentiate the brands a little more and started making a few dedicated Pursuit models (1990 Pursuit 3250 Express may have been the first). They redesigned the Tiara 3100 in '92 and then a year later they decided to keep making the old version and call it the Pursuit 3100. They changed a few things including the portlights as you mentioned, but it was the same boat. So a '93+ Pursuit 3100 was essentially a pre '92 Tiara 3100. Then for a year in 1994 they decided to call the Pursuit 3250 Express the Tiara 3300 Offshore but only made it for a year. Point in mentioning that is that S2 was pretty confused about how to handle the Pursuit vs Tiara branding throughout the '90's and went back and forth and did things that didn't really make sense.

They didn't really get it straight until about 2006 when they finally decided all Pursuits would be outboards and would be made in Florida and all Tiaras would be inboards and would be made in Michigan (up until that point nearly all inboard Pursuits were still made in MI). But then, of course, recently they started making some outboard Tiaras which again blurred the lines between the brands and that is likely what led them to sell off Pursuit.

I didn't get into the 'Continental' name at all. The Continental name was used in various ways over the years (more branding confusion). I know that the 2700 was made as an Open and a Continental with the Continental being a cruising oriented boat with a midcabin and the Open being a more standard fish/cruise mix that Tiara is known for. I thought they used the Continental name w/the 3100 for the Flybridge version for a year or two but that doesn't line up w/the picture you posted which looks like a 3100 Open. So I'm confused on that one.
