28TE FULL Restoration

[Pitou]

She loves to cruise at 2250 rpm and 17-18 KNTS. Is this normal for my configuration when fully loaded with fuel and 3.5 people?

As others have said, Great job on the salvage and Refit! Your hard work and determination has paid off. Enjoy!!!

Your cruise numbers with the Cummins seem right on the button as to where my previous 2002 28 TE with the 370 were. Here is a link to a some helm shots that I took showing my 370 at various RPM's and speed in knots with a full load of fuel, water and two adults on board.

She looks great Capt. Nick!

And that's quite the boating tale! Did she get a new name to go along with the new chapter in her life on the water?

I'm sure you'll enjoy her. We loved our 28.

Cpt. Nick: What a fine job of recovering a great boat with that fine Cummins engine. The entire boat just looks great.
Since these model Albin's are no longer produced it is great to see what you have accomplished.

Your picture of the boat sunk at the dock is freaking me out!!!! Our boat is identical, and our boat club has the same docks and power stations .AAAAaAaAaaaaaa!
Great job sticking with the renovation! I'm sure there were some real heartaches during a project of that length. You certainly know your boat now! Hope you and your family can enjoy her for a long time.
And..... Boats never ever sink twice!
