Albins

Hi. I've been an owner of a 28' Albin since Oct 04. Before this boat I've owned and lived aboard a 36' trawler and also had various center console fishing boats in the 19' to 22' range. Albin has done a good job with the 28TE at putting together a versatile package that allows you to (seriously) fish yet also cruise. It's a great boat. I'm very happy with the performance offshore fishing and cruising the intercoastal waterway near our home in FL. She's very stable, reliable, and basically a well-built vessel. Not to mention that the inboard diesel gives you great fuel economy and reliability. I would caution one thing (and I think someone already mentioned this to you), especially if you're cruising as a family w/kids, I wouldn't count on being overly comfy for extended stays. My wife and I have two daughters (5 and 3 years old) and we are able to weekend on her fairly comfortable given the sleeping accomodations for four. But there is not a lot of dry storage for personal items (clothing, shoes, etc.) and provisions. Especially if you plan on being on your own for a week or more. If it's just you and one other (low maintenance person I'd hope) then you might be good for a few weeks.

Otherwise, the boat itself is an excellent vessel. If you have specific questions on the 28TE I'd be glad to address them. -- I like www.npu.sk
