Description
Be sure to watch the video tour linked within this listing. The boat will show in person as well as shown in the videos.
This is an exceptional example of one of the best looking express fishing boats ever built. The owner made some excellent custom upgrades that look like they were installed by the factory, and are probably the way Albemarle should have designed the boat. The most significant are the custom fiberglass captain and mate helm seat consoles with matching aft-facing seats for guests. These consoles are easily removed so the owner can store them at home during winters, and to increase engine hatch opening. The same is true for the custom transom seat with added backrest all with matching upholstery.
Other upgrades include larger custom made water separator mufflers. The owner is very mechanical and has kept the engines and drivetrains in remarkable, almost like-new condition with all serviceable items recently replaced within the last couple of years including fuel pumps & hoses, motor mounts, hoses, belts, and the risers were replaced about two years ago. Cutlass bearings and alignments in 2024. Tune-ups every couple years. Each engine has a freshwater flushout that rinses all parts exposed to saltwater, that he uses every time back to the dock, extending the life of the risers to seven years.
Other upgrades and features include Raymarine E120 MFD, Radar, custom iPad Nav system, upgraded 100 watt stereo with four speakers, air conditioning/heat, fresh water flush electric head, electric windlass, cockpit awning, deck chairs and more!
Watch the video to see all the upgrades and remarkable condition!
Manufacturer Description: With the speed and the range to make those long offshore trips quick and comfortable, the Albemarle 280 Express Fisherman is no lightweight. This is a heavily armed fishing machine which can fish with the big boats any day, time or place. And like all boats in the Albemarle line, the 280 has a beautiful clean fiberglass finish with molded-in non-skid surfaces and low maintenance trim, which are easy to maintain and look great for years. The 280 makes overnight trips and long trips offshore comfortable and productive with a highly functional cabin and cockpit.
