Dead Reckoning is a handsome and well maintained Duffy 26 complete with an economical low hour Yanmar diesel, and lots of recent upgrades. This head turning downeast cruiser is a perfect day boat or weekender. Her hull and deck were molded by Atlantic Boat Company in Brooklin, ME and her smart interior was finished by Zimmerman Marine in Cardinal, VA (known as Mobjack 26). The Duffy 26 is well known for being capable and seaworthy, and the hard top keeps you sheltered from the elements. Dead Reckoning is an ideal season extender, as the pilot house offers comfortable boating into the late fall and early winter.
Highlights:
- New Flag Blue Awlgrip hull paint in August 2025
- New Yanmar 200hp diesel engine installed in 2021
- Fresh exterior varnish
- New Raymarine Axiom touchscreen chartplotter and radar in 2018
Dead Reckoning is in the water, on the dock in Severna Park, MD. A showing will not disappoint! Contact the listing broker for more information.
