2004 Albin 30 Family Cruiser advice requested

[morando06]

Hello, I am new to the AOG, but it seems there is a wealth of information here and owners who should be able to provide ample assistance and advice.
I've been out of the boating world for several years now, but looking to get back into it with my family. Without breaking the bank, I've located what appears to be a clean 2004 30' Family Cruiser. She has spent almost her entire life in fresh water. She is powered by a Perkins which puts her at about 11kt cruising speed which I'm totally fine with as I am looking for efficiency and not looking to go anywhere quickly.

Any help/advice/recommendations would be much appreciated in answering the following questions as I am not overly familiar with Albins.

1. How would you rate the overall build and hull quality for the '04 Albin Family Cruiser?
2. Where was this model boat built?
3. Any major issues/concerns to look for when performing an inspection/survey on this particular model?
4. Do I need to worry about soft spots, stringer issues, etc.?
5. Any additional pros/cons?
6. Is she worth pursuing or should I steer clear?

With a family of 5, this boat is the perfect size, within my budget, and has a rather appealing design. My ultimate goal is to do the loop in segments, but don't want the fun of an adventure to be plagued with constant repairs and risk to safety due to poor quality.

Many thanks for your input and look forward to hearing from you.
