Description

This Blackman has now been on the market a couple months. Looking for any offers! A fishing machine! Excellent condition Billfisher! Low hours! Ready to get out on the water! This 1985 Blackman Billfisher delivers exactly what serious anglers look for: a heavy-built, deep-V hull designed to run comfortably in true offshore conditions while maintaining stability at rest when you're on the fish. Powered by a diesel inboard setup (Blackman's preferred configuration for reliability and range), this boat offers the torque, fuel efficiency, and longevity that experienced boaters demand. The hull design allows for a smooth, confident ride in chop, making longer runs offshore both practical and comfortable. Step into the cockpit and you'll find a true fishing layout, wide open with ample working room for multiple anglers, high gunnels for safety, and a layout that keeps everything within reach when the bite is on. This is a cockpit designed to fish, not just cruise.
