This 1998 Albin 28 Tournament Express is a fiberglass pilothouse boat built for serious fishing and cruising. Powered by a single 5.9L Cummins Diamond Series diesel engine producing 315 horsepower, the boat achieves a cruising speed of 23 knots and a top speed of 27 knots. Recent engine cooling system service completed in October 2024 included removal, cleaning, and reinstallation of the heat exchanger, after cooler, transmission cooler, and raw water impeller. The boat features a bow thruster for docking ease and full running gear protection.
The three-sided glass pilothouse provides an enclosed helm station with quality canvas rear curtains. A comfortable helm area gives good sightlines, and the deep cockpit includes a livewell, transom fish box, transom drink box, and two in-deck fish boxes. Raw water and fresh water wash systems support fishing operations. Wide side decks allow easy access to the bow, which is fitted with an anchor windlass.
Below deck, the single cabin offers heat and air conditioning. The galley is equipped with a refrigerator, microwave oven, and sink. An enclosed head with shower serves the accommodation space. A dinette converts into a sleeper berth for additional sleeping capacity. The boat carries comprehensive service records documenting its maintenance history across multiple ownership periods.
