Looking at 1993 Albin 32

[Ronbo]

We looked at a 1993 Albin 32. The boat appears to need a lot of cosmetics, the instrument panel has faded so badly, you can't tell what switch controls what, and in general, somewhat neglected overall. CAT 3116 w/ 1400 hrs. We have a Golden Retriever , and would need to add a swim platform to make this boat usable for us ( the dog ). I have no idea what the transom is made of and don't know if it would be a good idea to add a swim platform to this boat, or the best way to do it.
Any comments/ideas would be helpful. Been wanting an Albin for a long time. Thanks

I have a 1990 Albin 32. My transom is solid fiberglass. I have drilled holes for through hulls etc and am quite sure of this. I have a swim platform. You can add one if you want. I like mine but they are not good for fishing.

Best wishes with your new boat.

Have an 1996 Albin 32 Command Bridge. also have a swim platform and it is very solid. No problem. Good luck. Albins are very well-built, solid boats. The transom on a 32 will easily support a good quality swim platform.
