Blackjack 25
 

Got a facebook update that the kenner boys are finally going to show off the 25' blackjack they have been working on this weekend at a boat show. From the shots I've seen of it I bet the sucka is a smooth operator.

I will be working extra hard this year at being good. Maybe Santa will take note. I spoke with the factory last week and from the little info I was given…..wow. May have to take the drive to Mississippi this weekend.

Any idea what one of those bad boys will cost? Not in my price range just curious. Always good to have goals right?

I would imagine 75-100k

$70, 000 plus electronics, tm and such.

Does anyone have pictures of it. I can't find any online

If they go near 100k rigged I would hope that they update the inside layout of the boat from the 22'

The console is all new with loads of room for electronics, complete redesign. Completely loaded should be in the 80k to 85k range from what I'm hearing.

It looks like from the pictures I've seen online that the inside will have jump seats. Thats all i've seen different but of course I've only seen one side profile shot and a top shot of the hull.

Just ordered one with duel 300's

Got mine comin wit twin 454 inboards

What is the realistic HP that is appropriate for this size rig?

While we're dreaming...:rolleyes:

What would you run on it?

If you are going to go big you might as well GEAUX BIG!

I would go with a 300 Verado or a 350 Yamaha like the offshore guides run in Venice (I have no idea what the right size motor would be).

If your near the 100k range for a bay boat do yourself a favor and check out the Barker

X2 they are the shiznit

The Barker boat Looks a lot like a Yellowfin
Bad A ss

Twin 150

Yellowfin split n one of the guys started barker

Twins would give you better turning capabilities and allow you to limp in if one motor had a mechanical failure.

I just never see any bay boats with twins but then again I never see any bay boats this big either.

New merc 400 on an all forest green boat like Sam's at heberts. With a grey inside.

You just not looking hard enough... I've seen a couple of bay boats with twins

I really do not think this boat is rated for that much horse power :spineyes:

Just personal preference. If I have a 25' boat I will be offshore in it on choice days. And I would rather have 2 150s than 1 300. Just my preference.

Seen Champions with twin 150s

Yep, Me too

Seen a skeeter in crowley for sale now with twin 150 s. I bet self bailing is out the window.

There is a reason you dont see many bay boats with twins.

Your right, no need for it bay fishing ! Would never go offshore without a twin or a buddy boat without twins..
Just depending on what you want to use your boat for,to each there own

Trip 90's with a 7.5 kicker !

I've ridden on a couple of 26 foot Shearwaters. Both of those had a single Yamaha V8 350. That is a very similar boat, and the Yami was the perfect size to pick it right up. But I think trim tabs are a must.

I'm just glad he finally removed the trip hazard off the front deck. I hated that design.

Wonder when the pictures will start showing up. I haven't seen anything yet on their facebook account.

What was that?

From the pictures of the deck it seems the layout isn't any different then any other mainstream bayboat. Center rear livewell, rear jumpseats, front dry storage and rod storage.

It's got them sexy lines though

Im waiting for the 30 ft bay boat. LOL

That boat does have some dang good looking lines. Beautiful boat for sure. I'd give my left stone for the 224. I'd have to ask the wife if I can sell them first though. Stones that is

probably talking about how the front deck had three different heights. I thought that was insane too

Ya'll talking about the step/cooler then main front deck then sidewalls? I can tell ya the little step down is nice on boats that have them. Keeps the knees intact when your slingin trout and jumping off the front deck.

K2 eliminated the height difference between the front deck and the rod boxes on the left and right, now that is flush. Looks like there will be rear jump seats and I hear that the mechanicals will now be easier to access.

Look up BlackJack Boats on Facebook. Their page now has a bunch of pictures of a finished 25.

Don't have Facebook. Could someone post up a few pics?

The front hatches open the right way now. Lol

Bill Kenner and his son Dalton will be bringing this boat down on April 24th to Lake Area Marine in Lake Charles. All are invited to come by and view the boat!

Will Ya'll be putting it in the water?

As of now, we will not be putting it in the water. That could change if we get some interest.
