Dusky 278 Open Fisherman: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Dusky 278 Open is an offshore-capable center console boat designed for versatility and efficiency. Powered by twin Evinrude E-Tech G2 150 HO outboard engines, this model emphasizes clean installation, fuel economy, and performance. The choice of Evinrude G2 engines enhances the boat’s functionality by minimizing clutter and maximizing power delivery.
Power and Performance
The Dusky 278 Open is equipped with twin Evinrude E-Tech G2 150 HO engines, each turning 15 3/8 by 18 three-bladed Rebel propellers. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 45.4 miles per hour at 5800 RPM. Its best economic cruising speed was 26.1 miles per hour at 3500 RPM, burning 10.2 gallons per hour, which translates to an efficient 2.6 miles per gallon and a range of approximately 230 miles with a 10% fuel reserve from the 100-gallon capacity. The Evinrude E-Tech G2 engines contribute significantly to this efficiency through advanced features such as an optimized combustion chamber, direct fuel injection near the spark plugs, and a low-friction design. Additionally, the two-stroke technology provides a power stroke on every crankshaft turn, resulting in superior torque and quicker planing times. The boat reached planing speed in about five seconds and 30 miles per hour in 7.8 seconds with a test weight of 6,212 pounds.
Exterior Design and Helm Layout
The Dusky 278 Open’s cockpit offers an open layout with two corner storage boxes that can be removed to increase fishing space. A flip-down transom seat can be replaced with a livewell for anglers. The helm features a well-organized dashboard with two large multifunction displays flanking a central low-range screen and VHF radio. Accessory rocker switches are positioned to the left, while the Evinrude engine controller is on the right. This controller supports advanced functions such as RPM tuning, speed assist, single-lever control with a sync button, and engine speed synchronization. The helm also includes an Evinrude icon color touchscreen display that provides customizable steering and trim controls, with the ability to mirror information on smartphones or tablets. The stainless steel steering wheel is mounted on a fixed base with adjustable turns from lock to lock, controlled via the touchscreen. Seating at the helm consists of a two-person bench with a flip-down footrest, integrated rod holders, and space below for a cooler. Optional aft-facing seating is available for entertaining, maintaining a livewell beneath to preserve fishing functionality. Overhead, a sturdy T-top with heavy supports is securely fastened to the deck and console.
Bow and Console Features
The console interior provides easy access to rigging behind the helm. Forward-facing seating at the front of the console includes a removable cushion that reveals additional storage. The bow area is surrounded by padded wrap-around seating with storage compartments beneath. Bolsters serve as comfortable seat backs, and beverage holders are integrated into the cap rail. A stainless steel rail lines the outer edge of the bow, enhancing safety and security. This thoughtful design offers ample customization options to suit various owner preferences, whether for fishing or leisure.
Conclusion
The Dusky 278 Open is a well-rounded offshore center console that combines efficient power with versatile design. The integration of twin Evinrude E-Tech G2 150 HO engines elevates the boat’s performance and fuel economy, while the customizable cockpit and seating arrangements accommodate both fishing and entertaining needs. Overall, the Dusky 278 offers a clean, functional, and efficient platform for offshore boating.
