PRICE REDUCTION! This 2001 28’ Albin 28 TE is top-rated for its rugged construction and legendary seakeeping ability and has been the boat of choice by both the serious fisherman and family weekender alike. Rated “the finest tracking boat of any size tested to date” by Power Boat Reports, this hardtop express fisherman combines beautiful downeast styling with accommodations practically unheard of in other 28-footers in her class.
Her spacious cockpit is easily accessed by the port side transom door and is ideal for family fishing with its wide side decks, recirculating baitwell, rod storage rack, rod holders, raw water washdown and tackle drawers. The cushioned engine box amidships provides additional seating and conveniently doubles as a worktable. The hard-topped wheelhouse is fitted with a stainless radar arch as well as canvas and isenglass drop curtains aft to provide optimum shelter from the elements. Large sliding side windows and opening center window allow for plenty of ventilation. Two swivel helm chairs comfortably seat captain and mate, with a complete electronics package and full instrumentation at the helm.
Belowdecks, her carpeted forecabin is accented with teak trim, mica cabinets and courtesy lighting with plenty of light and ventilation coming through six opening ports and large overhead hatch. The unique quarterberth and spacious convertible dinette forward combine to sleep four owners and guests in comfort. Removable forward backrests easily turn the U-shaped dinette into a queen-size double berth with additional storage beneath. The full-size galley includes a dual-voltage refrigerator/freezer, single-burner propane stove, stainless sink with hot/cold pressurized water, fold-up countertop and microwave oven. The quarterberth to port extends beneath the bridgedeck and features a full-size double berth with storage bin below. And the fully-enclosed head features a manual head with holding tank, hot and cold shower wand and a stainless sink with vanity and ample storage.
The single 300-hp Yanmar diesel and standard bow thruster make for superior economical operation while sacrificing nothing to a twin-engine design in terms of maneuverability. And the skeg-protected propeller adds to safe operation in shallow waters. She also boasts a swim platform with boarding ladder, electric windlass, radar, autopilot, and reverse-cycle AC/heating.
With her comfortable ride, versatility and high resale value, this Albin 28 TE is definitely a must-see. She has been well-cared-for by a conscientious owner and never been fished.; excel spreadsheet of preventative maintenance performed by both owners of this exemplary Albin is available.
