it would need a bow thruster, but maintainalbility/accessability is probably a little better(easier to get at stuff). of course, it doesn't have as much 'stuff'. might be a little better on gas... should be able to do 16 kt cruise.
probably all done depreciating, as my 93 TE may be. cabin.'s not as nice, but it has acres of deck space. supposed to have a nice ride. like the albin, its a 'sailor's boat'.

You never "need" a bow thruster. Especially if you have a bow line long enough to reach the swimstep and a first mate who's worth her salt.
We had that same engine in our last boat (TAM41D), and it was a great one. Quiet, efficient, and powerful.
It's a nice looking boat. But I have to admit that I don't see where the use of modern materials and the addition of more convenience items has really hurt the asthetics of downeast style boats. I find the 28' TE to be every bit as pleasing to the eye as this boat.
