Speaking of blackfin, the company, or at least a company using the name is
back in business.

I always liked the original Blackfins and know several people who have the
sportsfishing models. (one converted from twin 454 gassers to diesels).

I am curious if this "new" Blackfin Co. intends to build in-boards as well
as the outboard models shown on the website. It may be a case where, like
Century who is owned by Yamaha I believe, the name was purchased and boats
are being built simply as platforms for engines.

I echo your feelings for the original blackfins, which to me seemed to
be the successors to the earlier Bertrams. Most of the newer sportfish
boats these days seem to be in the condo vein, rather than the offshore
sportfish vein.
