New member -no boat

[mollygray]

Hello, in the process of trying to decide which brand of boat to buy. Looking at the 28TE vs the Main Ship 30 pilot. Never had a boat before, but would like to keep/use it on the northeastern Chesapeake bay.

Hi Molly, and welcome.

We considered the Mainship 30 before buying our 28TE. We ultimately homed in on the Albin because we believed it was the more seaworthy vessel - not that we ever sea-trialed a Mainship. Just did lots of reading.

Have fun in your search!

Welcome to the board! I too looked at the main ship 30 prior to getting an Albin. The mainship was a very nice boat but the 28/31 te fit our planned use of the boat better and after reasing a lot and stepping on a few boats we decided on an Albin.
