1998 Blackfin 33 Flybridge

JUSDOIT is powered by a pair of dependable 430hp Caterpillar 3208 turbodiesels with ~700hrs.  Both turbos were replaced in 2013, and the exhaust and cooling systems were serviced in 2017.  The engines are serviced regularly with an open checkbook, and any issues which present themselves are addressed.  Power is supplied to the 3-blade cupped props through 1 3/4" stainless shafts.  An onboard oil change system is also installed.  A Westerbeke 5kw diesel genset with ~300 hrs. supplies the juice for the amenities and accessories while away from the dock.

Upon stepping up to the spacious flybridge, it is apparent that this is not your average boat.  The hardtop is supported by a powdercoated aluminum frame, with a full eisenglass enclosure to keep Mother Nature where she belongs.  A duo of Pompanette helm chairs for the Captain and Mate offer a comfortable place to sit while underway.  A bench seat forward of the helm allows up to four (4) guests to appreciate the 360-degree view from the bridge.  A vast array of electronics, including a Simrad NSE12 MFD with radar, sonar, and GPS, Furuno FCV-292, Simrad AP26 Autopilot, SEA235 HF/SSB radio, and Standard Horizon VHF provide navigational and sounding data.  A Northstar 951x GPS (inop) and Cetrek 3400 GPS/Sounder are also included.  Dual ACR remote spotlights and an EPIRB provide safety as well.

Upon stepping down to the cabin, the eyes are graced with a well-appointed interior with real teak flooring and trim.  A convertible dinette is to port which provides not only a comfortable place to enjoy a snack or meal, but also room for two (2) to sleep.  Forward of the dinette is a large counter with storage underneath, which then leads to the angled double berth.  To starboard is the main electrical panel.  A spacious head with vanity, macerated head, freshwater sink, and standup shower is next, followed by the Galley.  A solid-surface countertop with undercounter refrigerator, glass cooktop, microwave, and freshwater sink provide plenty of space to prepare the day's catch.  Storage is also plentiful, with room for anything one could need.  Cabin rod racks mounted overhead keep extra sticks secure.

There's more than enough room for anglers and crew in the 75sf cockpit, a size which rivals many larger boats.  The 12' beam allows plenty of room to stretch out, and the transom door is the gateway to the fishbox.  Six (6) flush-mounted rod holders keep the arsenal at the ready, with a 6-rod rocket launcher at the rea of the bridge.  The pompanette fighting chair with rocket launcher provides the angler with the advantage when fighting the big ones.  Lee's double spreader outriggers enable the baits to seek and destroy. A transom mounted self-draining kill box/livewell (pump inop.) along with two (2) in-floor fishboxes keep the trophies under wraps until it's time to hit the cleaning table back at the dock.

If you haven't fished a Blackfin, you're definitely missing the boat.  Measuring 32'11" with a 12' beam, this 10-ton tank has a 54 degree entry which tapers to 22 degrees at the stern.  The buttery-soft ride is only complemented by the flare of the bow, which keeps spray where it belongs. The low center of gravity keeps the rocking and rolling to a minimum, while the properly spaced props allow the boat to spin on a dime.  Solid fiberglass construction both above and below the waterline contribute to the strength and beauty of this beast.
