    Welcome to the "upgraded" Blackfin Owners Forums

    Welcome to the new and hopefully improved Blackfin Owners Forums. We have just completed a major upgrade of our software. Thank goodness that's over with. So far, everything seems to be going fine.

    If you do encounter any problems please notify admin thru the forum set up for that purpose.

    In the meantime we will be continuing to tweek settings and do our best to make it one of the best boat owner sites on the net.

    There are a great many improvements in the new site. Not the least of which is this new dynamic home page.

    Security has been beefed up. To help prevent spammers from sending out toxic emails in our name we have added an additional feature which prevents members from sending PM's to other members until they have posted at least five times.

    I will do my best to keep you up to date on new features as we go along.

    In the meantime, enjoy !

    Cheers,
    Admin

    Yep. I seldom ran her full of fuel, she'd flatten out nicely at 1750-1850rpm 21-23 kts, get .7 to .75. I kept her at about half tanks, most of the time. Go to last post

    Sounds good. Saunders Yachtworks at OB Marina did the bottom while I had her. Possibly the Pensacola guys didn't prep the rudders the same way.

    When I first got her, paint was 'burning' off the... Go to last post

    I was just on line reading a survey regarding the 32' FB. This surveyor wrote a glowing report; however, he indicated that an inexpensive autopilot was useless on this boat. I am in the process of... Go to last post
