1987 Game On

Priced at $79,900

Twin Caterpillar 3208TA Diesels –  $15K+ Recent Mechanical Work – Recent Survey – Extensive Service Records

“Game On” is a 1987 Blackfin 32 Flybridge, powered by twin Caterpillar 3208TA inboard diesel engines and has been equipped with a custom tuna tower and upper helm station. The Caterpillar diesels read approximately 2,369 hours Port and 1,711 hours Starboard. The engines received major scheduled service in 2025, including documented cooling-system service, impellers and fluids. The vessel also has extensive documented engine history from previous ownership with more than a decade of documented maintenance history.

Game On is an actively fished, turn-key Southern California offshore fishing boat with extensive documented service history, significant recent mechanical work, a recent marine survey (end 2025), and major systems that have received substantial attention. This Blackfin 32 runs at an approximate cruise around 18–19 knots with standard sea conditions. At slow cruise the vessel will get 1.0+ nautical mile per gallon and under good conditions around 1.2–1.3(owner-reported numbers). Game On is actively used for Southern California offshore fishing, overnight runs and trolling. A significant portion of the current owner’s operating time has accumulated while trolling or running offshore at displacement speeds. The boat is currently being operated and fished instead of deteriorating in its slip. The seller is trying to move on from the boat because his lifestyle has changed with having young kids and a family as his priority. 

This is not a cosmetically restored showpiece pretending to be a new boat. If you’re looking primarily for perfect cosmetics, late-model styling or modern center console speed, this probably isn’t the boat for you. If you’re searching for a Blackfin 32, classic diesel sportfisher, twin-diesel flybridge boat, Southern California offshore fishing boat, tuna fishing boat, or an old-school diesel sportfishing alternative to a Bertram or Hatteras, Game On deserves a serious look.

1987 Blackfin 32 Flybridge Overview

A handsome boat with a flared bow and muscular, low-profile appearance, the Blackfin 32 Sport fisherman began life in the late 1970s as the Maritimer 9.6. Maritimer was later acquired by Blackfin, and the 9.6 then became the Blackfin 32. Designed by well-known naval architect Charlie Jannace, the Blackfin 32 rides on a solid fiberglass deep-V hull, and her wide beam and low freeboard add a degree of stability not always found in a deep-V design. (Indeed, the 32u2019s low center of gravity allows her to carry several people on the flybridge without becoming tender.) The cockpit is large enough for a full-size tuna chair, and engine boxes provide excellent access to the motors. Below decks, the compact, step-down interior of the Blackfin 32u2014tastefully finished with off-white laminates and teak trimu2014 features a convertible dinette to port, U-shaped galley opposite, and a standup head with shower. Topside, the roomy flybridge has bench seating forward of the helm console.u00a0
