1998 Albin 31 Tournament Express
“Tuxedo”
$139,900



Economical and Reliable Single Diesel with Bow Thruster

After nine happy years of owning Tuxedo, sadly, it’s time to sell her. I custom-ordered Tuxedo based on the knowledge of Albins I gained as a former dealer. I had the factory install custom cabinetry and other options so I would be equally happy fishing the boat or doing long-distance cruising boat. Apparently, it all worked as three of us spent April cruising the Bahamas and the boat was not bursting at the seams and did not break the bank on fuel.

Recently, I’ve added a cherry and holly sole in the cabin, and last year the boat was refinished with Awlgrip.

Options on Tuxedo include:

Cummins 450C Diesel – 950 hours
SidePower Bow Thruster
Black Hull Color – Newly refinished with Awlgrip
Entec West 4.2kW Generator
Cruisaire 16,000 BTU Reverse Cycle Air Conditioning

Hard to believe that boat is 9 years old. Looks brand new!
Good luck

Very nice boat. Lots of stuff packed into a 31ft package. Is the bow thruster original? I thought Albin put Vetus thrusters in...

Bow thruster is original. Albin switched back and forth between Vetus and SidePower.

Yes, it really is a big 31 footer. I looked at a Tiara 36 that did not have as much storage or a separate shower stall.

Curious what the cruise and burn is.

I saw this boat a couple years ago going out the jetties. The pictures do not do it justice. Very pretty boat.

Does the boat have the doors on the back of the cabin in the cockpit area or is it open.
Thanks,
Ron

I cruise at about 19 knots (21 mph) and burn 17 gph.

I chose to have just a drop curtain in the middle because I thought doors take up cockpit space and get in the way of the tackle drawers. I'm pretty sure the doors can be retrofitted.
