1998 Albemarle 247 Cuddy Express

This 1998 Albemarle 247 is a 24-foot cuddy cabin built for both fishing and cruising. The boat spent its entire life in freshwater, and the fiberglass hull and mechanical systems reflect that careful use. It runs on a single 250-horsepower Volvo gasoline engine, delivering a cruising speed of 32 knots and a top speed of 39 knots. The deep-V hull design is known for its ride quality and offshore capability.

The layout centers on a roomy cockpit with padded gunnels, rod holders, and a livewell—well-suited for fishing or family outings. Below, a spacious cabin features a V-berth with filler cushions and a porta-potty. A Garmin GPS provides navigation and electronics.

Recent work includes an engine rebuild completed in September 2025, new sea grass cockpit carpeting, new bolsters, new full cover, and new helm, seat, and engine box cushions. The boat was always stored indoors or under cover.
