I am actually still receiving communication on that enthusiasm to this day.
“We have received an overwhelming response of perspective dealer applications since the product debut, however great pains are being taken to ensure the Blackfin product line will be represented well with the dealer/partner networks that are chosen to represent it,” he added.
Blackfin Boats were constructed for coastal angling by builders who know and love saltwater fishing.
“The new Blackfins are designed and engineered with uncompromised construction, features, safety and performance,” said Mark Owens, vice president of design and engineering. “They are bred from the DNA of boat builders, delivering state-of-the-art boats unmatched in durability, safety, quality and warranty, but they were also designed to offer amenities that will make them family heirlooms for years to come.”
