I echo your feelings for the original blackfins, which to me seemed to

One of my neighbors down the canal had a real sweet looking Flybridge
Blackfin for sale last year. It looked a lot like a Bertram 31.
Unfortunately it had small gas engines with a lot of hours and it was
just crying out for an expensive repower with diesels.
