1989 Blackfin 38 Convertible

Galveston, Texas

****RECENT CUMMINS RE-POWER, SEAKEEPER 6, GENERATOR, PAINT, UPDATED, CUSTOM MEZZANINE & INTERIOR****

****NEW PRELIMINARY LISTING AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE UPON THE SELLER'S FINAL REVIEW OF THE LISTING SPECIFICATIONS****

"Cazadora" is truly A-One-Of-A-Kind legendary 38' Blackfin Convertible Sportfish! With her many upgrades and overall condition, she must be the finest 38' Convertible in existence! The 38' Blackin's offshore capabilities and ride made her are arguably the best riding hull in rough conditions that were ever produced under forty feet. Now, with the addition of the custom spray rails and the Seakeeper, her offshore ride and while at rest, are truly phenomenal.

The previous owner, is the owner of the largest Cummins/Phasor & Seakeeper Authorized Factory Dealer/Service Center in Texas and she was the owner's personal vessel. Most of the recent mechanical upgrades were made by his facility, under his ownership and supervision. The current owners purchased her in 2020 and they are known for taking their boats to another level, and this one is no exception!

Her updates and upgrades are many and some are as follows:

Twin Cummins QSC8.3 600 Recon Diesel Engines with 600hp Each and approximately 600 Hours Since Installed. Local Cummins Dealer advises that they were New engines when they were installed, however Cummins advertises and sales them as Recon Engines, as they are only meant for re-power purposes and not to be sold and installed in brand new boats, as they don't meet the current EPA regulations for new boats. (Installed 2018)
