The BLUE FIN is a compact cruiser with flying bridge and a large open cockpit. The bridge offers an excellent view for sport fishermen or skin divers. A venturi is incorporated into the front of the bridge to shoot a stream of air in front of the helmsman to protect him from the wind. The cabin features two 6' 3" berths and room for an all-important head. This is one of the features most requested by wives and children, making the BLUE FIN a boat for the whole family.
You can use a variety of power plants, as the motor is located directly over the center of buoyancy. The hull features a double curvature bottom for an easy and exceptionally dry ride. Best of all, the BLUE FIN is easily trailered to your local launch site or to distant waterways.
