New owner of Blue Skies 2007 Albin 28 TE

[Blue Skies]

My wife and I purchased Blue Skies, a 2007 28 TE back in October. Aside from the short sea trial we haven't had an opportunity to enjoy her before she went into winter storage. Our home port will be Baie Verte Newfoundland Canada, but for now she is stored where we bought her in Ontario. I plan to move it myself and currently have Loadmaster building a trailer for her. If anyone has any advise on transport please let me know. I have already read some helpful info on the topic here. We have some upgrades planed so look forward to getting advise from anyone who can help. We will keep you posted.

Thanks,

Shane and Robin Antle

Congratulations on your purchase. I can attest firsthand you purchased a fine boat, having looked at her closely and being outbid by you. We were disappointed at having to drop out of the bidding but we'll not be deterred. I hope we can find a 28TE as fine as Blue Skies!

Good luck with her.
Best regards,
Tim and Cheryl

Great Boat - Congra's and Welcome to the AOG. You likely if from Ontario found a fresh water 28. Either way 2007 may have been the last of the great 28's from Albin. You are so very lucky to find it.
My 35te came from Georgina Bay, Canada and was such a fresh water boat when found. My broker was Jack Pady who I cannot say enough good things about.
Enjoy. What a way to start the new year.

Hey Blue Skies, congratulations! We too have a 2007 and love it. What is your hull number. We are #929. Is yours a Newport layout or regular seating? Post some photos if you have them. Enjoy the long winter of anticipation. We had ours in the water for two weeks before we headed north for the summer so we can relate. Enjoy.

Whwells, Blue Skies also came from Georgian Bay and Jack Pady was the Broker ,absolutly excellent to deal with.

Al O fish us, she is regular seating with enclosed wheelhouse, not the Newport style. Hull number is 707, I'll try to post some pics but what I have is pretty limited and I am replying from an I phone so that makes it interesting also

Proud new owners of Blue Skies,

Shane and Robin Antle.

Shane and Robin:
We too bought the Carol Marie (2001 28TE) from Jack Pady back in 2003. We could not have had better buying experience. Jack was excellent to deal with. By the way, the fresh water 28 TE has served us flawlessly for 10 seasons - Lake Champlain being its new home port with occasional trips to Cape Cod.
Enjoy your new toy .......
