Has anyone been in or know much about the range of Bluefin boats. i am looking at purchasing a Bluefin plate centre console and would appreciate any feedback on them.

i looked at a blue fin centre consol not long ago, but decided on a formosa, they were both around the same price but i found the overall finish a bit better on the formosa.

Hi monkey

I have a 4.75m C/C Blue Fin with 60 4st merc 2yo and I am very happy with it.

For its lenght it has high sides, that is that my knees are below the gunnels and it doesn't rub the skin off them:) a must for me.

Yes it is a wet boat but was expected when running home with wind on the 1/4

Yes it does get air and slam down like a tinny but that was expected but I am very happy with the ride.

overall it is a great boat for me and suits my application. All my work is beach launch and up to 20km out to sea around the Solitary Isands.

I was very interested in the Formosa to, but back when I bought my boat the Formosa was a different boat and the mods that I wanted sent the price way up.

I would like to have a look at another Formosa now

Is the Blue Fin still a plate side boat only? ie not a true plate boat.

Cheers Murf
