Billfisher on Craigs list

[Mac Attack]

Just noticed a extremely clean Billfisher on Craigslist. Looks like the pictures were taken in Mission Bay. Twin 4-cylinder 31 diesels, w/burgandy trim.

Nice looking ride.

It must be Tom Dow's boat.

Brian_g has been looking at the ad, and asking if any of us know anything about the boat. I don't know anything about the boat or owner. Only mentioned that with twins, you get manueverability, but probably lose the one ton fish hold and lots of storage?

Any info on this boat, including opinions on the twin engines would be greatly appreciated. My family and I have been looking for a blackman outerbanks or billfisher for quite some time to no avail. Maybe the criteria of 95' or newer is not that important. Any opinions on cut off age for buying a blackman (generally speaking of course).

thanks,
Brian

It's a very nice boat, Tom used to be behind us @ Marina Village and he did alot of work to the boat (maintenence,polishing, etc.) He's a 2 boat owner so I'm sure he's anxious to sell. Twins are nice but I think personally think he's a little high @ 75,000; I think twins are a little slower than the I/o's and shaft models but I could be wrong(I rode in an 84 model and it's best cruise was 13-14 topped @ 18) maybe the newer ones had more HP. You do lose the fish hold if it is shaft drive.

there is an 1998 Blackman 26' Express for sale on AMS site http://www.sdboats.com/images/toniv.htm Price looks high to me, but I have not seen this boat.
