Why you should want this Albin 28.
This one owner 28 is not harbor furniture. This boat goes fishing in any weather with all the latest equipment. Currently fishing in Panama. All US taxes paid. Stored indoors. Fished regularly way offshore. We don't talk about how seaworthy a 28 is, the video will show you. And for the price of a few charter fishing trips you get to keep the boat. This boat will not disappoint you.
Fish with her in Panama until you are sick of catching Marlin and Yellowfin Tuna. Then take her home. All US taxes are paid. I have photos on how you can move this boat back to Florida from Panama on Superservant. It is too easy. See Superservant Boat Hauler

Please Note:
- This boat is not and has never been for charter.
- It has only been used for my personal sport fishing.
- I am her only owner since I bought her new in March 2000.
- I am only selling her because I am getting too old to argue with big fish.

"She'll Sell Quickly" Lowest Priced
As beautiful as she is. Don't buy her for her good looks. Buy her for perfomance. She is a fishing machine. She fished through five countries these past 12 years. She has traveled from Boston, to the Florida Keys, to the Bahamas, to Cuba, to Costa Rica and for the past 6 years, she has fished Panama. We go way offshore, in all kinds of weather. Day and night. ..... Safe, stable, fuel efficient. You already read what an Albin 28 is. But now you can see it. Let's take a look how this one became a fishing machine. Lets watch her working. In her own element. Doing what she was built to do.

| And we operate in most weather conditions.
What you read about the Albin 28's ability to track straight in a seaway is true. And the low center of gravity causes the boat to roll less. So, we run on the autopilot 99% of the time, even in following seas. Because of the design this boat is as stable, perhaps more stable, than 60 footers you have been on. Our trips are usually 3 days and two nights. We stay about 50 miles offshore. And most nights we drift
in open ocean. Total fuel consumption for the 3 days is 50 - 60 gallons. (That is not a typo. 50 - 60 gallons.) When this boat was new, the idea of fuel efficiency wasn't cool. How the world changed. At trolling speed we average 3.5 mpg. (Not gallons per mile, miles per gallon.)
We carry 1,000 lbs of ice plus two small freezers run off the inverter. For really long trips we carry extra barrels of fuel.

| Those tube on the stern are "Tuna Tubes". Their operation is demonstrated in the video. Two large pumps provide the water needed. |
 |
| High power fishfinder and radar are necessary assets. We do a lot of bottom fishing at depths of 400 - 500 feet. We find pelagics by using the 10kw radar to spot birds up to 3 miles away. |
The marlin in Panama are big.
We catch big marlin here. 400 - 500 lbs is normal. 600 - 700 lbs is common. Yes, some are caught over 1,000 lbs. In fact, we all hook some granders, but few of us get them to the boat. One of our grander opportunities fought us for 8 hours and 45 minutes. It wasn't even tired when it broke the line. We were.
Sadly, three of our catches died in the contest. Here are two. A blue and a black. It is heartbreaking. The only consolation is that marlin is delicious.

We had three marlin die over the years.
Who doesn't like catching big fish?
Even my wife likes to catch big fish. That is a 240 lb yellowfin she caught on a bonito.
I hope I convinced you that this Albin 28 in this location, Panama, is a very interesting proposition. Use it to catch tuna and marlin until you are sick of it. Then take her home. All US taxes are paid. I have photos or how I moved two boats here from Florida on Superservant. It is too easy.

| We use outriggers, downriggers, kites, electric reels, teasers. They are necessary tools for consistent catches. |
She is comfortable at anchor.
The high power radar helps us find birds feeding over the marlin and tuna.
