I have my eyes set on an Albin Tornament Express 28, but they are rather
pricey. I want a seaworthy downeaster-type fishing boat that I can take it
out for a week or two-weeks in the open sea in the northeast. I'm new to
modern powerboats and am wondering if there are other alternatives to the
Albin, maybe a trawler that would fit my needs better. TIA.


What engine does it have?

We looked at an Albin double cabin many years ago. The engine was built by
Renault.
I just didn't know enough about them, so we passed.

The new ones have a single 300hp Yanmar diesel w/ a bow thruster. I believe
they used to have Volvo engine in the past.

That's better. I misread your post - I was thinking more of a slow trawler.
I think the one we looked at was an early '80s or even late '70s - it was a
long time ago.

That was wise to stay away from a Renault engine. There are 3 ways to
do things, the right way, the wrong way, and the French way.

The French way might work, but it is always different than the rest of
the world.

Had a Renault one cylinder diesel in the Viking 28 I crewed on (before
Mirage 33). Boy... was that engine rough at low RPM! Thought it was
going to vibrate all the hardware loose.
