F&B Boatworks has been completely restoring and redesigning boats for over 35 years. They took this 1976 25' Blackfin hull, stripped her down to the stringers and built her back to the beauty she is today. Everything on her is new, with the quality and look of a classic Merritt. She was re-registered as a 2018 due to the extent of her renovation.
Her owner will turn heads wherever they cruise or fish...
