Hey everyone I was directed here from Bloodydecks. I am considering purchasing a 20' Blackman (link below). I haven't seen any other 20s that are this layout and the owner said it was a one off prototype. I am possibly going to make the trip up there next week but I'm not very familiar with these boats. Anything in particular I need to keep an eye out for? Any other info would be greatly appreciated as well.

That's a nice looking boat, but I don't think it's a Blackman. I thought the 20's were made in the 70's into the early 80's and the bow doesn't come up like the others I've seen.

Thats what I was suspecting, I was trying to compare some other features on the boat like the lines of the transom etc.... to other pictures online but I just can't tell. The owner said this is an 87 and that it was one of the sons that made this boat. Some people thought it was maybe a seaway too. I just have too many unanswered questions to drive five hours to look at it. Thanks for the insight.Quote:

Don & Shirley only had 1 son and 1 daughter And Steve never built anything by himself.
