Hi a buddy of mine is thinking of getting rid of his 28
' Sailfish & picking up a 88 32' Blackfin powered by a pair o cat's. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts??? Thanks DeLux

DeLux,
Good boat. Know a guy who ran his to the canyon regularly. Cats are 6 or 8 cylinders? 8's are tight under the boxes. One point, a 36 Chris Craft I run just had to have the oil pan changed on a 8 cylinder cat due to hole in pan from exterior corrosion. If engine sits deep in bilge, you may have the same problem one day.

I had a buddy who had a 32' blackfin and he wasn't entirely happy with it. I forget what he didn'e like, but I think it had to do with trim tabs and it not running well on a plane. Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.
