What Is a Dusky 278 Cuddy Side Steering?
We've combined our heavy-duty DUSKY hull with the conventional cuddy cabin which offers lots of protection from the weather and the sun. The Dusky 278CSS combines the benefits of a forward cuddy cabin boat with side steering controls for maximized useable deck space. Dusky 278 CSS 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. Outfit her to your liking with a wide variety of equipment from our extensive options list. Designed for the serious offshore fisherman who wants to enjoy the confidence afforded by this sturdy DUSKY hull.
