Looks like I am the new owner of a 1986 Albin 27 aft cabin, well almost. Need to arrange survey, sea trial, insurance, (marina req 250k). Must arrange shipping from New Port Richie FL to Astor FL, about 140 miles. Have located nice marina which is only about two blocks from my house. Found travel lift close by. Would like any an all advice I can get on any of these task. I have gotten some good tips on this form. Am just a little nervous about all this as I am new to the boating world. Thanks.

Mark,

Congratulations! I have a 1987 27 FC and love it. Take your time and research and find a good surveyor, if possible, one who has surveyed an Albin......better yet, one who has surveyed an Albin 27. Ask the surveyor to also go with you during sea trial, ask lots of questions and take notes.

Research to find a responsible and reliable company to transport your boat; make sure they're insured. You mentioned that you're new to boating, make sure you take an appropriate boating safety course. It can be overwhelming especially if it's your first boat purchase, but do your homework and take your time. One of the most important things to do is to hire a good surveyor.......this could save you a lot of headaches....and money, down the road.

Good luck.
