Dusky 278: Take a Video Tour

What we’ve got here is a Dusky 278 center console with a pair of Evinrude’s latest motors: the 135 HOs.

Now I don’t care how power-hungry you are, that is plenty of juice for anybody!

Is this a fanciest boat in the world? No. You’ll find some plastic. But when you’re talking about a 27 foot boat with a pair of Evinrude 135 HOs that lists at less than $60,000 base boat? That’s a bargain.
