Accommodations The first thing you will notice is the aesthetic balance of the design, and how it translates to function. The cockpit is dedicated to fishing, but also lends itself to comfortable outdoor cruising enjoyment. Only the best of materials, and components have been integrated into a vessel easily handled by one, yet comfortably set up for the enjoyment of four. Two private cabins, with wide over under berths have their own dedicated air conditioning systems, opening hatches, and ports. Each cabin has their own dedicated head with separate shower room.
Salon The salon is open, airy, and purposeful. A separate, dedicated air conditioning system provides comfortable operation of "Blacksox" if you chose not to use the opening forward windshield, dual Bowmar opening hatches, or side sliding windows to catch the prevailing breeze. The salon area incorporates the dual helm chairs, a port side settee with rod storage under, starboard side galley prep area, dual Nova Kool refrigerators, top loading deep freeze, Sharp Carousel convection microwave, overhead rod storage, secondary engine room hatch, and soft pads for complete engine access.

Hull FIVE YEAR HULL WARRANTY THROUGH 2/2012
The hull is solid fiberglass and is hand laminated in a one piece mold using resins with vinylester outer layers to prevent blistering. Biaxial cloth is used for a high glass to resin ratio, and light weight. All molded parts are weighed to monitor the lamination process, and coring of either balsa or foam is vacuum bagged to insure weight, strength, and proper bonding. Four transverse bulkheads, and four longitudinal stringers insure rigidity, and strength. Black Awlgrip paint is used for the topside color of "Blacksox".
Electrical System The customized electrical system is energized by multiple 12 volt batteries, a 240/120 Volt 12.5 KW Westerbeake Gen set in a sound shield, or shore power, utilizing dual 30 Amp cords incorporating the Glendenning electric retrieval system. The comprehensive main saloon breaker panel allows for complete control of electrical demands, and is easily accessed from the inspection panel revealing a numbered, labeled, and coded wiring system. The bonding system is to commercial grade specifications.

Remarks THIS IS A 3 YEAR CUSTOM BUILD PROJCT THAT CULMINATED IN THE OWNER TAKING DELIVERY IN FEB 2007. WITH ONLY 91 HOURS OF USE, THIS IS VIRTUALLY A NEW CUSTOM DUFFY.
The very knowledgeable owner of "Blacksox" started with a clean sheet of design paper utilizing the venerable Duffy 42 hull, which is world renown for strength, efficiency, and unrivaled sea keeping abilities in all conditions. The results of this 3 year custom project is evident when compared with other "Down East" designs available on today's market. If you desire a turn key, no nonsense, hard top "Down East" masterpiece, and are not willing to wait 2 years to achieve completion, "Blacksox" is a must see. Please call your broker to arrange a personal preview, or come visit "Blacksox" at the upcoming Palm Beach Boat Show. A thought to consider would be to use "Blacksox" as a mothership for your flats boat which could replace the existing hard bottom inflatable currently launched, and retrieved by the UMT electric davit system. 6 person Switlick life raft .
