When reinstalling the shaft log I noted that the keel is over an inch thick of solid fiberglass. Frankly, this is about the most simple and bulletproof drivetrain out there.The hull is entirely fiberglass, with no core materials. This is a straight shaft inboard, so no jackshaft maintenance nightmares. This is my 4th blackfin 24 and I cannot find a reasonable equivalent for even close to the same money.The hull is a Charles Janice design, with 24 degrees of deadrise, and I believe eventually became the basis/mold for the legendary Formula 223 and NorthCoast 24. The combination of low center of gravity (due to a centrally located inboard) and the sheer mass of an entirely fiberglass hull yields a pocket battlewagon ready for when the weather turns bad. Virtually everything is new on this boat, and the next owner will not be disappointed.Blackfin boats of this vintage have a reputation as some of the most seaworthy and entirely overbuilt inboard center consoles out there.

Never wouldn't handle well in a following sea at all. We were both handy with machines though and did our own work on it. It had great engine access and we could fish the Canyon on 100 gallons of diesel fuel. My old man and I ran a 28' Albemarle out of Port Isabel and Mexico for years. If you pay someone to do your oil changes because you don't like to get dirty I wouldn't consider a single screw. If your handy with engines this is right up your alley. I carry spare parts for everything short of a turbo and injector pump. If you stay up on the maintenance (and I just don't mean oil changes) a Diesel engine is reliable. If I were to go the single screw route again I would buy an older hull (custom Carolina style) and have a fresh rebuild slapped in there. I sold it because it was very difficult to trailer (loading/unloading). It was a neat boat and I enjoyed owning it. It made 22-24 (at cruise) knots with a 330 hp 6BT Cummins in her belly. I had a single screw, direct drive, diesel powered 29' Seavee for awhile.
