FS: 1988 Albin 27 Family Cruiser

[whitelightning]

Up for your consideration is a great example of an excellent boat. I purchased this boat in the Spring of 2020 and it was my home for next two years during which time it was appointed for a full time liveaboard. During the course of 2024, I used this vessel to perform sunset cruises on the Neuse and Trent rivers in New Bern, NC and it has served me very well.

Due to lifestyle changes and an ever growing day job work load it is time to let this boat go to someone who can give her the time and appreciation she deserves.

I've also uploaded the maximum of 20 photos.

Please keep in mind that this is not brand new boat and like any other, it has its quirks, character, and issues. Everything on board works as it should, and has never left me stranded or let me down. She is a real bruiser that can handle and has handled conditions that will make you doubt your ability to read weather predictions.

She has a current registration with the State of North Carolina, however the USCG registration has lapsed. I spoke with the NMC about this issue regarding the possible sale of the boat. They said it is a non-issue with transferring the vessel to a new owner because the paperwork is the same for both reinstatement and ownership transfer ($84).

White Lightning is slipped in Downtown New Bern, NC (New Bern Grand Marina). I will reach out to the Dock Master on Monday morning to inquire about the transfer of the rental slip to the new owner.

Asking Price of $32,500 OBO
