Research 2010 - Dusky Boats - Dusky 18 R

A new level of performance is now at your command with the advanced design of the Dusky 18R flats hull. Unsurpassed rough-water handling thanks to a razor-sharp entry. Superior weight reductions let you power your vessel with less horsepower than conventional flats boats while still realizing amazing performance numbers. Less motor equals less weight and less fuel expenditure. That means lower running costs for you. Her wide stance makes her amazingly stable at rest and her chine line keeps everyone dry when on the go.

Built around an all-composite structure, the Dusky 18R is a sub-1000 pound hull with one of the most spacious and customizable deck layouts available today. Her totally flush non-skid deck allows for 180 degrees of unobstructed fishing. Set your vessel up the way you want to. Customize the 18R to suit your fishing requirements; from more storage to multiple bait tank configurations to poling platforms, etc.

You bought a flats boat, so why do the payments feel like you purchased another house? Forget astronomical pricing from dealerships, Dusky 18R is a complete shallow water fishing solution at a real-world price. Why spend twice or even three times as much for another boat that won't do the job half as well? Dusky 18R is the new equation in flats fishing.
