1984 Albin 27FC For Sale

[Lollipop]

Sprig 1.jpg

I’m selling my 1984 Albin Family Cruiser. It's the perfect boat for doing the loop or for weekend getaways. Sprig underwent extensive upgrades between 2020 and 2022 and the upgrades continued through 2023. You’ll be hard pressed to find an Albin 27 in such good condition with low hours and as many recent upgrades.

This is an exceptionally fuel-efficient trawler with a reliable 4d61 Peugeot (Ford Lehman) diesel with only 1070 hours. She cruises at 7 knots while sipping less than two gallons per hour. There isn’t a more affordable or comfortable trawler that can be trailered on the market. She provides sleeping quarters for 4, a full galley, a roomy private sleeping stateroom, and a new full camper Sunbrella bimini (2022) with Strataglass and screens and all new foam and upholstery for all 13 cushions. See below for the long list of upgrades and additional details:
