You didn't mention power on the Blackfin.
The 31 Open is perhaps second only to the classic 31' Bertram for ride and handling. They are the 2 best 31' boats.
I don't know what factory support is available from Blackfin, but Tiara's is fantastic regardless of the age of the boat. I bought a 1995 31' Open 5 years ago and could not believe how helpful the factory has been - even sending a few parts without charge!
The Blackfin is a great boat and built for offshore fishing while the Tiara is more of an all purpose boat. I think the creature comforts on the Tiara are far superior to Blackfin.
Both are the highest quality non-custom built boats you can buy, and won't go wrong with either. Personally, though, its apples and oranges.
Good Luck!
