Could someone advice me about the dusky 25.6 center console. It is a great boat?

dusky's are good boats, main problems are floor and transom rot, they are heavy boats so don't expect alot of speed.

What year boat are you talking about. The Dusky since 1999 maybe longer, has no wood.Very happy with my Dusky 25.6 open fisherman center console with a 2003 Evinrude Ficht 225h.p. does 39knots with 2 people and a full tank of gas,100gal. I use this boat for chartering. it's a dry boat, easy to maintain. Only draw back for me is the transom is 7' wide. My next dusky will be 8'6" Boat weighs 3800lbs.motor about 500lbs.If you are looking at this boat to buy be carefull of the 1999-2000 225hp evinrudes,they are junk. That's another storyCheck out www.dusky.com Also click on I boats fishing forum page 6 fishing boats under 30 k

Dusky still uses wood in the transom and stringers, unless you choose to have them made with composite materials. I think it's something like $1,000 extra. The floors have been non wood core since 1995? or so.

Have had my Dusky in a 5' chop,"wouldn't recomand doing that" With a high transom approximately 25" is great in a following sea.And it is hard to find a 26' new boat for $33,000 with a 225hp motorthe draw back is that the plastic hatch and storage covers are not the best.It's a fishing boat ! ! !
