I know this boat and what a boat it is. I could sell FP2 and buy this also putting some money in the bank.

Someone please slap me round the head and tell me I’d be mad to part with my Albin!

Aye, new boat fever...?
Nice boat, twin engine and all.
More money, more maintenance. And more boat.
Tempting for sure..
I know I will get the fever too, but will try to resist.
Take 2 aspiring and report back tomorrow morning.

Your Albin is prettier.

I like the lines! How’s the pedigree of that maker? You might have trouble replacing your Albin if you change your mind in a few years, aren’t they rare over their?

Goodchild Marine who make the aquabell are well known for their pilot boat and lifeboat build qualities. This particular boat was originally built for the Marquess of Guernsey - the only thing stopping me pulling the trigger is I can’t find a berth in the yard big enough to put it on!

Tree, sell FPO and buy the 52Arun. You could go anywhere with that pond racer

[Tree]

Haha Max. The Arun was an ex RNLI lifeboat. They are a go anywhere boat - not keen on the running costs though!!

[Russell]

That looks like a very well built boat and you will like the Perkins diesels that are widely used marine engines. If you can find a berth it looks like a good move.
I an actually considering the same thing because a Carolina Classic 28 with twin Volvo D4 engines and a tuna tower has come on the market here in Stuart. We all love our Albins and would like to stay with them but I have been waiting too long for someone to offer his 35 with twin D6's or a 31 with the single Cummins QSB.

So...just how much money do you want to spend???

Did Tree buy the Aquabell? She’s no longer listed.

I couldnt part with FP2.

I’ve got a good boat, good berth and it’s cheap and easy to run single handed. Just had the injector tips changed and cambelt replaced. I will haul her in a few weeks for the season refit and then go fishing
