The boat tests linked to off the Southport website show them costing considerably more with a base price of 150k. If the Palm Beach Albury was rigged the same as the one at the Miami show then it was fully loaded with electronics, outriggers, etc.

I was on one last month, new, that cost what I posted. Yellow.

JupiterEdge - 2/5/2008 10:05 PM I've heard the Albury is a tank. Theyare still being built in the Abacos, but now they have a second plant in Florida. Hope you enjoy your new boat, I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks..To date have close to 20 hours on her..and yes she is extremely effecient. We have encountered 3-4 seas and the landing is not only soft..but dry. We really like this boat, and has worked out great for fishing, skiing and tubing. Well built, rock solid, simple to maintain, and we always get a .

Yesterday was 7 miles offshore fishing in my Albury 20 in steady 10-15 mph wind with 2' seas for most of the morning, around 2:30 pm the wind started picking up and started coming from the north and were blowing a steady 20 with gusts to 29 and the seas built to 4.5' on average. [for those skeptics out there...here is the NOAA website that has hour by hour real time data on seas, wind, and more for specific locations] http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=41114

and a graph of wave height in our area over the last 5 days, note the period between 8:00 EDT and appox 3:00EDT

The Albury handled the ride back to the St. Lucie inlet like a champ. Stayed on plane going 18 knots the entire way and although got fairly wet from the wind whipped waves, since the seas and wind were coming from the north as we headed west, the ride was secure and there was no pounding of the hull. Just a testament to how well these boats are built and how solid the ride is.

I know exactly what you're talking about.. When I go over a large cruiser wake everybody new on the boat starts to cringe waiting for that crash landing. As soon as we go over them they turn around and say this boat rides awesome...and it does. It's meant to go between 20 and 38 mph and be very effeciently and can really handle the rough stuff, best 23-26' boat Ive been in....NOW CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO POST PICS ON THIS SECTION..THEY WORKED ON THE mIAMI SHOW PICS BUT NOT HERE...THANKS JEFF

Oceanluvr30 how was the fishing? On days like that it is usually worth the trip.

[oceanluvr30]

A couple of dolphin in 300 feet and on the way back stopped over an artificial reef and tried a butterfly jig for the second time. On the third drop got slammed however I never saw the fish and eventually got cut off...
By the time I got another one tied on the wind and seas picked up real fast so I stowed the gear and headed for home...
