Reel Love's new owner

Post by bobm »

I just purchased Reel Love, a 2005 28 TE Flush Deck with Volvo D6 310 HP. I am sure I will be relying on the members of this forum for answers to my novice questions. Thank you in advance for your help and your patience.

Congratulations on getting a great boat. We were the backup offer and were hoping that you would not buy it. You will find a wealth of information on this site. If you develop buyers remorse, let me know.

Russ, I'm curious - if you you don't mind saying, why did you sell your 28 and want another one?

Nancy I just retired and we are moving to a condo in Stuart Florida. Rather than drive Silver Lining down there I thought I would advertise it for sale and purchase something down there. The next boat is likely to be my last so a newer and maybe larger one would be nice. Boating is much more expensive down there and I want to check things out before doing anything. I saw Reel Love listed last Monday (11th) and they already had a buyer (bobm) but it seemed like a great boat with a generator and many extras for living aboard. And it was half-way there.

Kevin Thanks for the comment about the fish. When I told my son the boat was sold he was shocked as he realized we were going to miss striper season this year. The fishing does not get good until December and January.

Welcome Bob: It sounds like you found one of the rare and fine flush decks with the special Volvo. There is a dealer for Volvo in Brookings, Or who services my Volvo 315 gas & local 22 Osprey fishing boat. He raves about your diesel engine often saying it is one of the best and long lasting engnes he ever works on. As he attends all the Volvo training classes and is so knowledeable your engine would be a great one out my way. The Albins are fun and dependable boats.
Congras.
