2014 Blackwood Blackwood 270

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how thoughtfully the 270’s deck is laid out. The forward seating converts from a casting deck to a lounging space in seconds, with deep, secure backrests that keep everyone comfortable underway. High gunwales and beefy hardware give a sense of security when the chop kicks up. The helm is clean and ergonomic, with switches, throttles, and wheel right where you want them for long runs. Under the seats and in the console, you’ll find cavernous storage for dive gear, beach toys, and serious tackle. Details like the molded toe rails, bolstered coamings, and wide, stable beam make long days on the water feel easy.

In this area, you need a boat that can do a bit of everything in changing conditions, and the Blackwood 270 fits that role perfectly. Its deep, confident hull softens wind-against-tide chop while still floating shallow enough to slide onto sandbars and into tucked-away coves. The size is ideal for local inlets and nearshore runs, yet it has the range and seakeeping to stretch out to reefs and wrecks when the forecast cooperates. Generous seating keeps guests comfortable on evening harbor cruises, while the open deck and fish-ready layout satisfy serious anglers. It’s a capable, refined platform tailored to the way people actually use boats here.
