I just checked the Yanmar website and it is a turbo. Thanks for your input! The more I think about it, the more I'm talking myself out of it. It just seems to me that the most important and expensive part of this 41 year old boat is the engine. This engine is clearly the wrong engine for this...

Thanks for the reply. It certainly appears to be a Fisherman model, not surgery project. The motor is a Yanmar 4jh-hte 60 Hp with 2000 Hrs. Owner says at 3100 rpm she makes 9-10 kts ans he cruises at 2500 rpms / 7-8 kts. does that sound about right? The cons I see with this oversized motor are...

I'm interested in the Fisherman version of the Albin 25, I don't need the aft cabin. Found one for sale but it has a 60 HP turbo diesel engine in it. To my knowledge the Fisherman has the same hull as all the others of it's year and a 60 HP is double the size of what is necessary or wanted. Is...

OK as the OP of this thread it is my job to reign things in if they get off track. Actually I don't think they are far off track, some strong opinions, but I like that, some pull back and I like that as well. As the previous poster said, as soon as AGLCA stops benefiting members it will go out...

I would really like to get a slip in Alexis Cove, but I don't know if there are even any openings or if you have to join what appears to be a family club??

Turks and Cacao's, now that would be ambitious! What seemed ambitious to me was a crossing from say Marco Island directly to Dry Tortugas and then slowly hop from key to key back to the mainland. Possibly a week in Bimini. So many options, so little time.

Thanks for the input, I will remember it. I have no intentions of trying to see everything, just choose a course and enjoy it in whatever time it takes. Anyway at 6 knots it's physically impossible to see even most, so no reason to try. The "Active Captain" website and interactive map seem like...

Hello David, enjoying the -3 degree morning? Actually I'm very new to power boating and will be shopping for a boat this spring. I'm in the process of building a house off of Rose Island road and will rent a slip at one of the marinas there. Shopping for a trailerable trawler, something simple...

I'm open to doing the full crossing but I would also like to visit some of the fishing towns in between. Was thinking about Carrabelle to Steinhatchee, then bounce down the coast, Cedar key, Crystal River, Clearwater and then Cape Coral. But no preset plans, never know who you might travel with...

Hi Gina, thanks for the info. So March 1st you'll cross over and head north. Is that early, late or pretty typical time to start up north? Will you go to the spring rendezvous, early May in Norfolk, Va? I'm guessing my arrival in the Cape Coral area to be the beginning of December, so that gives...

I was down in your part of the world this past fall. Stayed at Patty's place in Buras. (Plaquemines Parish) Had a great time, caught many redfish. love that part of the country.

Well I guessed that! Lol. I just figure you have at least 2 months of winter to play where it's warm and the area around the keys just seems like the logical place to do that? Also this is coming from reading a limited number of journals, maybe many more folks go that way and I've just missed that.

Well it's 0 degrees here in Louisville, Ky. truck won't start and I'm daydreaming about doing the loop. Lord willing and creek don't rise, I'll be starting the loop about Oct. 1, 2015. So I'm learning about schedule, I'm figuring 4 seasons to complete, 10/1 - 10/25 to get to Joe Wheeler SP...

Here is an Albin 25 in Yachtworld that is unlike any I've seen. http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listing/boatMergedDetails.jsp?boat_id=2562273&checked_boats=2562273&ybw=&units=Feet&access=Public&listing_id=20424&url=&imc=pg-fs No aft cabin, separate front windows. Is this a custom, Fisherman...

Interested in your boat, can I get more information and photo's? You can email them to me if that would be easier.
