2022 Blackwater Triple Mercury V12

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Blackwater has thought through every inch of this 43. The helm is laid out so you can actually run hard while still keeping an eye on your crew, with supportive seating that locks you in when the seas stand up. The wide walkaround and high freeboard give a secure feel moving forward, even with kids on deck. Below, there’s a surprisingly comfortable cabin with a proper berth and head, turning long days into easy overnights. Massive in-deck fishboxes, a rigging station, and livewell are all within reach, yet don’t intrude on the social space. At rest, it’s a waterfront patio; underway, it’s a serious offshore machine.

This Blackwater 43 shines in local waters where conditions can swing from glassy mornings to choppy afternoons. The hull has the length and beam to bridge tight, confused chop while still slipping into shallower anchorages for a swim or sandbar raft-up. Triple V12 power gives the range and pace to run well offshore for pelagics, then sprint back before the weather turns. Generous shade, deep seating, and a real cabin make it a practical choice for mixed crews who want both hardcore fishing runs and relaxed family days. It’s equally at home trolling offshore, drifting reefs, or hosting friends for sunset cruises.
