the albin 26 is a stretched 23 seacraft...used to be capecodmarine think they sold the mold? not a fully glassed boat at least the older ones, cored partial bottoms and sides. they used glass in areas of thru hulls.were built well by CC Marine and hear same on Albins but 3rd hand. Personally id rather have no coring of the hull, but there have been zero issues with these boats, and that is not an uncommon way to build boats and saves on weight. They are in tough price point, and the look of final product is a bit on commercial side at that price of the older ones. Perosnally I like them a lot, but not enough to pay 2.5X3X my current 23 OB on a bracket 4S. I'd be sitting in a down east duffy 26 or 31 at that price
. But then you would be leaving me in your wake eating spray with one of these rigs. Deadrise is listed at 24 degrees which is not a 23 deadrise though at transom.
At least 2-3 for sale on Lower Cape Cod I think still but not looked at them recently.
Be glad to go take pics of an albin26 or cape cod marine 26 if you like if still sitting there...These were designed as single screw diesels to go offshore giant tuna fishing in, fast, drift and handle well in seas with variable dead rise, and be able to pull the fish thru a door no winch. Pure fishing
