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.

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.
