Welcome to the group, tell us a little about your boat. Did you find it on the West coast?

We spent about a year looking for a boat up and down the west coast. Ended up finding the Albin right in our backyard (SF Bay Area). It is a 1999 powered by a single Cummins 450.

Good find, Albins are a bit harder to find on your side of the world. We re-powered our 27fc with a Cummins, could not be more pleased. Our initial fuel burn was .86 gallons per hour at cruise, now have 180 hrs on factory new engine and fuel consumption is going down a bit. We have never met an Albin owner who did not like his boat, seems when we stop at a different dock someone always wants to talk Albins..

@Mark- thanks again for the welcome. We will definitely make use of the wealth of information on the board and will hopefully be able to contribute in the future.

Welcome Otter & Congra's on the 31Te. Very fine boat that will serve you out and under the Golden Gate and the Delta. We are nearly neighbors as we are in Trinidad, Ca. My son & I will be in your fair city at a Legal Seminar this Wed. through Sun. at the Height Regency on Market St. Join us for a cold one.

Hi Howard,

Thanks for the welcome! Sorry for my late reply, I just got back in town from a work trip. Unfortunately not planning to be down town this weekend as I have lots to do on the boat in Sausalito. So I'll have to take a rain check, but count me in next time.
