What's a "Blue Fin" hull?

Post by Once and Future »

30 years ago the knowledgeable fishermen recommended either Sunnfjord or Blue Fin hulls. I see Sunnfjords for sale all the time (although the newer hulls are hard chined and not like the old timers were talking about at all) but nothing called a Blue Fin. Some tell me the Blue Fin was a particular length of Little Hoquiam hull. Anybody know?

Also, I see there are a lot of C&M "football hulled" boats in the troll fleet but no one seemed to talk about them even though they are almost that old.
