Description

This fishing machine has the power, and all the gear, for the serious fisherman.

From the Manufacturer:
A handsome yacht whose sky-high price humbled all but the most affluent buyers of her era, the Blackfin 38 Convertible is a stretched version of the original Blackfin 36 Convertible introduced back in 1986. (She became a 38-footer in 1988 when the cockpit was lengthened by two feet.) From her rakish profile to her superb seeking characteristics, the Blackfin 38 set a very high standard for under-40-foot flybridge fishing boats. The cockpit is huge, and her well-planned flybridge provides excellent helm visibility and plenty of guest seating. With a Large salon and galley up with two state rooms. Primary berth located in the bow with a pedestal bed, secondary berth on port side with twin bunks. All cabinets and finishes trimmed in teak.

The bridge allows for extensive electronics. 

Powered by twin QSM11 Cummins diesel engines. These heavy-duty, 10.8-liter inline-six diesel engines are known for their excellent power-to-weight ratio, quiet operation, and fuel efficiency. They feature replaceable wet cylinder liners, which prolong the engine's life and lower rebuild costs. These are highly reliable engines where some commercial users log over 50,000 hours before major rebuilds.
