Hi Jim- Yes, notice the tongue jack. I placed the center of the boat's weight on the center of the middle axle, as a starting point, and it worked well. I had the boat on blocks on the ground, so had to modify an existing trailer to accomodate the keel, and jack the boat up to roll underneath...

I recently trailered my 27FC to a small public park boat launch ramp, and backed it right in. No issues whatsoever, except that the 6 tires wanted to float the trailer, when the weight was lifted. I'll tie some sand bags to the frame, when I go to pull the boat out!

There is a 1978 30FC for sale currently, so not sure about the boat being a replacement for the 27FC, which came 6 years later.

The search is over. Closed recently, on a 1988 Albin 27 Family Cruiser. A beautiful, 2 owner gem, and I'm thrilled! Will be boarding on Mar. 3rd, for a trip through the OWW to the Atlantic coast. More to follow.

Thanks, MRRiley, I joined over there, as soon as the hunt began!

Prefer: 1986 or newer, repowered Yanmar, eisenglass enclosed, mostly cruise ready (no major project boats, thanks), trailer would be a bonus! The closer to South Florida, the better. Not ruling others out, this is just my wishlist.

Reviving an old thread! I've been reading and learning tons on here, and joined the AOG, as well. My plans are to purchase a 27FC soon, and base it in SE Florida. Looking for one in pretty nice cruising condition to begin my adventure, any leads much appreciated! Mike
