29 Combi

An awesome rough-water boat in spite of her small size, the Blackfin 29 Combi was heavily built on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull with a relatively wide beam with plenty of flare at the bow. A low center of gravity—especially on the inboard—makes her a stable trolling platform, at least until a tower is added. Below, the Combi’s compact cabin includes a convertible dinette/V-berth forward, a mini-galley, and a standup head with shower. The cockpit can handle a small chair and engine access is excellent. A popular boat for many years, she was updated in 1995 as the Blackfin 29-2 Combi with a restyled bridge deck, curved windshield, integral bow pulpit, and a new helm console with more space for electronic add-ons. The original 29 Combi has engine boxes; in the 29-2 model the boxes were redesigned to form aft-facing lounge seats. Standard 320hp gas engines cruise the 29 Combi at 23–24 knots, and optional 230hp Volvo diesels cruise at 25 knots. Those with Cummins 315hp diesels cruise at 28–29 knots and reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 32 knots.
