New member with alot of Q's

Post by Josh »

Hello all. I am a new member that has been doing some research on 27' Albins. I am looking to upgrade and the 27 Albin express seems to fit my needs. I have seen a few for sale but not as many as the aft cabin model.

Welcome to AOG Josh. Sorry I missed your post. Check out our For Sale forum. There is a nice 27 going on eBay right now.

Josh,

I started out looking at Albin 27 family crusiers. There were very few of those. I soon moved to the Albin 28 because there were 100 of them on Yachtworld, and I really did not need the aft cabin. The aft cabin 27 and its replacement, the 30', are a clever design for those wanting a cruiser for a family with children. The open cockpit 28 is a great for fishing and works well for crusing too.

It is a buyer's market right now. You would be surprised how far your budget will go. NEVER offer the Yachtworld asking price, you are going to get at least 6% - 10% off and much more if the asking price is not realistic. Figure out the value, make and offer, and do not worry if it is not accepted. Move on to choice #
