Research 2020 - Blackjack Boats - Blackjack 224

The BlackJack 224 represents the ultimate blend of prowess and performance, all wrapped together in a sleek and striking design from legendary boat builders Bill & Gary Kenner.

From the smooth, dry ride of the "Carolina flare" bow to its classic "tumblehome" transom, the BlackJack 224 blends tradition and technology like no other boat on the market. Her hand-laid hull and deck are heavy-duty but lightweight. Reverse-angle, spray-reduction chines deflect the water with authority.
