New member Albin 27 & Cat

[Capt Ram1]

Hi Everyone,
Nice to meet some of you already here on the fourm-
Ive owned my 1990 Albin 27 since 1993 I bought it used with 123 hours on it, 2300 now-I used it as a part time Commerical Dive boat for about 10 years off Palm Beach and the Bahamas, I stopped using it in 2003 , because I got busy working in a different feild- so I have not started the 6db1 - 157 hp Isuzu engine for about 4 years and am now getting ready to put her back in service- I also have a sailing Catamaran in the Greek Islands where I run week or more charters for folks-www.sailing-charters.org
The Albin has been a great work horse and im looking forward to seeing her shine again !

Now that is rare. Not many Albin 27s in commercial service other than used as self skippered charters.

I started my snorkel/sighseeing business in 1988 using my 1986 albin 27AC. Ran it for 4 years till I got my 32' Chesapeake workboat, custom made for the work I was doing. I ran the workboat till 2006.

Met alot of wonderful people along the way.

Welcome to AOG Capt Ram. I'm sure with fresh fuel and filters, that diesel will start right up.
Checked out your website. Looks like a nice vacation!

Thanks Guys, I just started her up- runs fine after sitting all those years, Great engine that Isuzu- now I have to roll my sleeves up for a lot of cosmetic surgery, The Albin is like an old lover, I know every inch of her and over the years we have treated each other well! Her body is a bit beat up by all those divers with their tanks and weights, but I’m going to get her looking good again over the next few months- so I will be asking questions here and I appreciate any and all the posts from everyone-
