I have to say, that is a fantastic looking boat. I don't know why they aren't more popular down here. Even the bracket looks cool with its lines, which is rare for a 20 footer.

You mean, WAY WAY UP there, dontcha??
Dusky's seem to make there way west, but not North.

My Dog's name is Dusky. I was gonna buy one.
Here sisters name is Mako. I was gonna buy one.

The boat ended up being a MayCraft.....sold 100 yards south of the Dusky Factory on Bryan rd, at that time.

10 years of happy ownership. Now sold to a guy in St. Mary's Ga.

any performance numbers yet?
i'm also wondering if anyone else noticed how low the engine seems to sit in the water? the water line seems alot closer to the cowling than normal.
you're gonna love that E-TEC, by the way!

I thought exactly the same thing. Something doesnt look right the way that engine sits at its lowest setting. Could be an adjustment thats off or it may just supposed to be that way on that boat. Regardless .... its a beaut! Congrats.

Thats just because its trimmed down it its lowest position or negetive trim. The area where the boat is in the water is very small and not much room to run the boat out, I'm guessing that once on plane there wasn't enough romm to trim it out.

I love the Dusky threads, I live down that canal and visit Dusky often. In most cases I have seen the THTers boat before they did. And yes, that boat looks very nice in person.
