Need help with ID/specs - 14' Blue Fin aluminum

Bindernut · #1 May 16th, 2007, 05:52 AM

I've got an '80 BlueFin aluminum fishing boat that I'm having problems finding specs on. The spec page here doesn't have any 14' models listed and Blue Fin's current website doesn't have any basic fishing hulls like this listed anymore.

It's a plain aluminum v-bottom tiller. Length=169" beam=63" and has just a basic bench interior. The previous owner had added a small platform up front (from the front bench to the bow) along with a bow-mount troller.

It currently has a 25HP and is super stable but underpowered with two people. I might be in the market for a new motor and would like to upgrade to a 35HP if the boat is spec'd for it.

Here's a couple pix of her. If anyone has info on the model I'd appreciate it.
I've currently got the bow platform out while I'm doing some electrical upgrades.

Same boat I have. Mine says "Spectrum by Blue Fin" on the side. It's actually a Starcraft Seafarer, just sold under a different name.
Good boat. The only one I ever owned that doesn't leak.

Starcraft eh? That's good to know. I hit their website and their current 14 S Seafarer still looks nearly identical to mine...27years basically unchanged.

Yup, a great little boat. Nice and stable, even compared to the old S16 Lund I had before. No leaks here yet either, although I did buck a couple loose rivets when I first bought it last summer.

Thanks for the ID!
