- Blackjack Boats, Knoxville, AR. 9,290 likes 153 talking about this. The BlackJack represents the ultimate blend of prowess and performance, all wrapped together in a sleek and striking design from.
- We love it when the BlackJack gets a great online review, and boats.com did just that at the Palm Beach Boat Show in Palm Beach, Florida. Senior Editor Lenny Rudow gave this video review of the BlackJack 224, describing it as an “unexpected gem” from Bill and Gary Kenner, who have “years of boat building experience.”.
The Blackjack 224 is one heck of an unusual bay boat. Start with its looks: it has tumblehome at the transom, a widely-flared bow, and a hard chine that swoops up to the bow. Then check out the features list. BlackJack Boats is a sure-thing compared to its in-class fellow bays. Dollar for dollar you cannot match the performance, styling and value delivered by a BlackJack.

Opinions on Blackjack boatsPosted by Bedhog on 4/22/19 at 10:22 am

I saw one over the weekend. It was the 256 and had the new Mercury 400R motor on it.
I was blown away at how beautiful the boat was. T top, dual 12' Simrads flush mounted to the console. All decking and rubbpoints inside had grey matting.
I'm pretty sure it's the most beautiful bay boat I've ever seen personally.
What manufacturers make better boats than this one?
Does Yellowfin still rank as the best?
Boat looked like this except the sea decking

If I was spending $120k on a boat, it would not be a bay boat
That being said they are pretty awesome

Agreed. They are fine arse boats and have incredible lines. For what they cost, you can get a used very very nice over 30' center console. I cant spend 34 venture money on a 24 foot bay boat

Blackjack is a great boat. 'Best' is highly subjective. The 'nice' factor has been ramped up across the board in the bay boat sector. Take a trip to the next big boat show nearby and take a look at all the brands. Most have the dual electronic screens flush mounted with the T-tops that have molded in speakers and LEDs built in.
'Best' bay boat in my opinion would be Hells Bay Estero

That's understandable but are they the best bay boats?

they are nice arse boats. 'best' is obviously subjective.
That said, if money were no object to me, I'd buy a brand new blackjack 24 for my inshore and mangrove needs.

IMO, yes. They ride great. I'm still not a fan of the new liner hull boats and I'd love to see that hull with a rolled gunnel but given my choice for free of a 256 blackjack and other comparable boats out there, I'd take the blackjack

Funny thing is I saw it tied up at the Prop Stop with a couple of Instagram looking girls taking pictures of themselves on the front of it with thongs on.

that's my next boat, ive been keeping an eye out on the used market of these. they are hard to find. I would for sure not buy a new one and rig it out for over 100k. I priced one a while back with no t top and a 300 yammy and it was right at 70-72k with no electronics or trolling motor. that being said im upgrading to one in a few years and selling my frontier.
my experience with K2 has been great anytime I needed something. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a blackjack over other boats in its class.

I want to ride in an Everglades one day. I've heard they are very heavy but ride the best.

Same with Yellowfin right? I was just amazed by the thoughtful layout of the hull, easy access side rod holder compartments, slight deadrise of the bow. And that 400R. I've never seen a 24' boat with a 400 racing motor on it

Blackjack Bay Boats Reviews Ratings
Beautiful lines, gaining popularity especially in the 25 ft realm. Fit and finish is strong from what I've seen first hand but limited to boat show kicking tires, haven't ridden in one.
Their new 'coastal' 25 footer is a concept I really like as well, with the open rear end like an offshore CC. Camp neighbor had one, loaded out, $120K. Can get a whole lot of other brand of boat for 120K, though.

You have to stop, it's infatuation and dangerous
Same with Yellowfin right? I was just amazed by the thoughtful layout of the hull, easy access side rod holder compartments, slight deadrise of the bow. And that 400R. I've never seen a 24' boat with a 400 racing motor on it
You need to get out more, Majek, Haynie have been hanging them since they came out.
If money were no object; Morada, Billfish, Dorado,YF

I've never been on any of those other ones. Out of what I've fished blackjack has been the nicest. Yellowfin is the only one you've listed that I recall seeing in person. Theres not much of that stuff running around here. I think I've seen a few majeks but they look like strictly shallow water boats from what I remember

Barker is probably the overall best.
I have a buddy with a 24 Everglades and it is nice.
Another buddy just bought a 26 Crevelle and that’s a sweet rig. I know they had one a year or so back with a transom issue but I think they worked that out. They are really nice and can be rigged with a 400R also.

Barker filed for bankruptcy a couple weeks ago so whatever he has in the shop is probably the last of them. Mirrors and Lights shite and such.

Blackjack Bay Boats Reviews Florida
- Youtube: zeal3eVVBws
We love it when the BlackJack gets a great online review, and boats.com did just that at the Palm Beach Boat Show in Palm Beach, Florida. Senior Editor Lenny Rudow gave this video review of the BlackJack 224, describing it as an “unexpected gem” from Bill and Gary Kenner, who have “years of boat building experience.”
As you’ll see, Rudow praises many of the 224’s features, which also come standard with the 256. He points out the finish and locks on hatches, how the live-well is insulated (to ensure more stable water temperature for better bait) and how handy it is to have a second live-well toward the bow.
“It’s a a small detail, but an important thing that sets [the BlackJack] as a serious fishing boat,” he said.
Other thoughtful features Rudow focuses on are the trim switch on the bow to raise an outboard motor in shallow water, and rod tubes in the storage compartment to help protect expensive rods.

Watch for yourself why he describes the BlackJack as a “sweet ride.” Then locate a nearby dealer to see a BlackJack boat firsthand and schedule a test ride.
