Outing Highlights

THE EQUIPMENT

High‑end electronics and muscle

The 227 Dusky comes fully outfitted with Garmin technology — an 8612 chart plotter, VHF radio, chirp sonar, radar and autopilot — paired with a 225 HP Suzuki four‑stroke motor for confident cruising and reliable runs between fishing grounds or snorkel sites.

THE AMENITIES

Comfort and audio for a day out

A Fusion stereo with a 1000‑watt amplifier, a 12" subwoofer and four speakers brings music to the outing, while extra storage and optional coolers support a full day on the water.

THE MISSION

Built for fishing, snorkeling or simple relaxation

Taco 28' outriggers, abundant storage and flexible layouts make the boat practical for a fishing charter, a snorkeling trip or a laid‑back sun and fun excursion with a small group.

What the day feels like

On the 227 Dusky the outing reads as a compact, purpose‑built charter: a small, capable platform for up to five guests where modern navigation, sonar and power meet the straightforward pleasures of a day on the water — fishing, snorkeling or simply running to a favorite stretch of coast.
