Blackfin 262 HB

Blackfin 262 CC — Mercury 400 Power • Luxury Ride • Offshore & Inshore Dominance

This Blackfin 262 Center Console is the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and top‑tier craftsmanship. Powered by a Mercury 400, it delivers serious offshore capability with the smooth, confident ride Blackfin is known for. Whether you're running to the reef, cruising the intracoastal, or hosting friends for a day on the water, the 262 handles it all with authority.

The deep‑V hull, wide beam, and premium construction give you exceptional stability and a dry ride even when conditions get sporty. Blackfin’s attention to detail is obvious everywhere you look — from the hardware to the upholstery to the intelligently designed helm.

Why This 262 Stands Out

Features and PerformanceThe Blackfin 262 HB is designed to blend offshore capability with inshore versatility.  

• Performance: Reviewers note the twin-stepped hull design provides a smooth ride, even in choppy water, and allows the boat to get into very shallow water (as little as 17 inches with the engine trimmed up). When powered by an optional Mercury 400 HP V10 engine, the boat can reach a top speed of around 56.8 mph.
• Fishing Amenities: The boat is well-equipped for anglers, featuring twin 30-gallon insulated baitwells, multiple stainless steel rod holders, lockable under-gunnel rod storage, and a dedicated bait prep station with tackle storage in the leaning post.
• Comfort and Technology: Standard features include a fiberglass hardtop system, Garmin 1243XSV multifunction display, power-assisted tilt steering, a Fusion stereo with JL speakers, and a foldaway transom bench seat. An electric toilet and various canvas covers are available as options.
