Blackfin Boat BuilderBuilt for striper fishing, shallow coves, and open water — all in one platform
Blackfin's hybrid bay boats sit at the intersection of a center console and a bay boat. You get the deep-V offshore hull that handles Lake Lanier's afternoon chop, combined with the shallow draft and fishability of a bay boat. The result is a platform that can run open water, work shallow coves where stripers live, carry serious fishing gear, and still bring the family out for a sunset cruise.
Lake Lanier is one of the best striper fisheries in the Southeast. The lake holds a healthy population of landlocked striped bass that run big, fight hard, and are caught year-round — on live bait, trolling rigs, and jigging over structure. The Blackfin 242 HB and 262 HB are purpose-built for exactly this kind of multi-technique fishing.
Handles Lake Lanier's open-water chop without pounding — the same hull that goes offshore on the coast.
Get into the creek arms and shallow coves where stripers and bass stack up, without running aground.
Recirculating livewell keeps gizzard shad and herring alive all day — the foundation of Lanier striper fishing.
Dual Blade 10-foot Power Poles available for precise shallow water anchoring over structure and points.
Garmin Force Kraken trolling motor option for silent approach on spooky fish in clear water conditions.
The same boat you fish Lanier on Saturday can run the Georgia coast or Florida panhandle on Sunday.
24 feet of clean, fishable deck space with a deep-V hull, standard livewell, Garmin GPS, and single outboard up to 350 HP. The dedicated striper fishing platform for Lake Lanier.
