The 2026 Blackfin 242 HB is a 24-foot hybrid bay boat built on fiberglass, powered by twin Mercury 300HP outboards. Designed for both inshore fishing and open water cruising, it combines a proven hull form that delivers a stable, dry ride with practical onboard features for serious anglers and families alike. The boat sits 24'5" long with an 8'10" beam and carries a dry weight of 3,600 pounds without engines.
Fishing capabilities anchor the design. The boat is outfitted with two 30-gallon livewells fitted with acrylic windows, insulated fish boxes, and twin 30-gallon aerated baitwells on the port and starboard sides. Wide casting decks run both bow and stern, supported by integrated rod storage, in-floor bucket storage, and a tackle station. An elevated helm position provides good visibility over the water.
The cabin and seating layout prioritize comfort and functionality. A three-sided enclosed windshield wraps the helm, which features a flip-up bolster seat with armrests. Forward seating includes a bow cushion and forward-facing console seat, while a fold-down transom bench accommodates additional passengers. The boat sleeps two and includes a head compartment accessed from the forward cabin, a 70-gallon fuel tank, and a 15-gallon freshwater system with washdown capability. A Garmin 1243XSV navigation center comes standard, along with automatic trim tabs. The boat carries a capacity of 10 people and is available with a trailer.
