Alumaweld Blackhawk 202

The 150 hp Yamaha outboard is estimated to have between 400 and 500 hours. The 9.9 hp high thrust Yamaha kicker engine has even fewer.

The boat is wired with two 12V lead-acid batteries which can be combined or isolated with a rotary battery switch.

The length overall for moorage purposes is about 25 feet (the length on deck is 20 ft, plus a 2 foot aluminum offshore bracket which the 150 hp Yamaha is mounted to). The offshore bracket extends the overall length of the boat, improving performance, and allows for a higher and safer transom design.

The hull is of heavy-gauge welded aluminum construction. The hull sides are a combination of green and silver paint, and the sidedecks and top of the gunwales are green.

The hull beneath the waterline is bare aluminum and has not been coated with bottom paint.

The top of the offshore bracket is aluminum diamond plate for traction and the cockpit decks are a synthetic nonskid material.

The kicker is mounted to its own aluminum "hot sink" bracket. The hot sink is a unique feature that uses a heat exchanger on the kicker to fill a reservoir with 160 degree raw water. This hot sink is useful for washing hands and can even be used creatively for other applications as well, such as heating food.

The 38 gallon fuel tank is of poly construction.

The manufacturer's website provides the following description of the Alumaweld brand and their boats:

"Alumaweld has defined how heavy gauge welded aluminum boats should be built and how they should perform since 1971. Alumaweld sets itself apart through sophisticated engineering, resulting in better running performance, consistency, strength, and comfort. Based in White City, Oregon, Alumaweld has dealers all over the country and is honored to be the provider for premium welded aluminum fishing boats in North America."

Waterline Boats / Boatshed does not independently verify capacities and measures, which are reported from seller-provided information and/or literature.

The aft cockpit is large, open, designed for fishing, and has downrigger pads on each side (port and starboard), 6 rod holders (+1 more integrated into each downrigger), a fish box, and shelving on the inside of the gunwales for stowing fishing equipment and more rods.

The forward cockpit has seating for six people total on a combination of two inward facing bench seats and two forward facing seats. The forward facing sides are manufactured by Seats Inc. These custom adjustable shock absorbing seats are designed and manufactured in the USA. The seat’s patented “knee action” suspension offers shock mitigation & suspension for the roughest conditions. The patented “knee action” mechanical suspension absorbs the energy of each wave and allows the seat to move in the same motion as the occupant to minimize impact.

The bench seats can be hinged open to access good sized storage lockers.

The helm station has a Lowrance multifunction display with fish finder and chartplotter and switch panel. Windshield wipers are installed on the port and starboard forward windows.

This Alumaweld Blackhawk 202 is equipped with an aluminum hard top which covers the forward cockpit. This is a desirable but uncommon option. This hardtop provides a rigid structure for a full enclosure of the seating area. The enclosure is new and the clear isinglass panels provide good visibility and improve comfort while underway in cold and wet conditions -- common in the PNW.

Visibility is good and unobstructed from the helm station. The boat is configured with forward facing and side windows to provide for a comfortable ride even when the enclosure is not installed. The center forward window is hinged and opens to provide access to the foredeck for fishing, anchoring, or docking, and provides additional airflow on warm days.
