What Is a Dusky 17 Open Fisherman?
This original DUSKY has been updated to a modified V hull boat to make her one of the driest and smoothest-riding 17-foot boats available. Best of all, she’s a Dusky hull, which means she’s built with the same strength and rugged integrity as all of our offshore boat and inshore boat models. Dusky 17 is equipped with the Dusky Drive; a unique fiberglass outboard bracket with an integrated swim/dive platform. The Dusky Drive improves maneuverability and stability of your boat while allowing a full transom for safety. She's an ideal boat for the first-time boater due to her quick response time and roominess. Her standard equipment boasts an insulated icebox seat with a reversible backrest. She's priced right and has an extensive options list to let you configure her any way you desire.
