Blackman Boats @ Fred Hall Show
Went by the FH show at the LB convention center. Saw Steve Blackman there with a new Billfisher. Forget the name of the boat but the hailing port was Ventura. Nice boat, steep price tag however. Got away with only renewing my Vessel Assist and a bag full of Jerky. Attendance seemed way down to me, but it was early.

How much?
181 K !!!!!!
I had a quote a few years ago for about $125K for the Outerbanks. This was before they came out with the new Volvo with all the electronics controling the diesel.
I was at the factory a couple summers ago...they gave me a flyer with costs depending on engine package. An Outerbank with a Yanmar 275hp inboard was around the $125K also.
$181k is steep even it's with the D6 engine package...
That's with a D4 225. Mike I think your original Patron was the most expensive 26' built; probably 150-160K with all the bells and whistles including water heater, genset, and watermaker. That was 3-4 years ago and the new Volvo D series is about 10K more. Yes it's high but in comparison to the others it's not that high. It keeps the value of our used Blackmans up and people will just have to settle for less boat if they want new in today's market. I don't think it will be supply vs. demand; it's more like survival mode.

Steve was sure interested in the price I paid. I told him a got a fantastic price from Yale, but left it at that. Still the nicest boat at the show, but I am a little biased.

Patron was the most expensive until Steve had that pilot house built and he went by me by 20k. Inboard, bow thruster and normal electronics only. Ouch!

Looking forward to seeing the Blackmans at the FHS!
