1986 Dusky 256 Center Console

This 1986 Dusky 256 Center Console is a fiberglass-hulled boat built for serious offshore work. At nearly 26 feet long with an 11-foot beam, it features the hand-laid construction Dusky is known for—thick glass and solid seakeeping characteristics that have made the brand a choice for anglers and coastal operators.

Power comes from twin Crusader 5.7-liter gasoline engines totaling 690 horsepower. The engines were installed in 2004 with only 228 hours recorded. The boat sits on a center console layout with an open cockpit, high gunnels, and a custom bimini top mounted on an aluminum arch with integrated antenna and radar mounts.

The boat has received several upgrades over the years. Recent work includes new engine box insulation, a custom fuel distribution manifold, an electric engine hatch lift, and an electric windlass. Navigation and entertainment systems have been updated with new Garmin GPS and a Fusion stereo. Seating throughout has been customized, including a new helm seat and custom bright work.
