WTB Albin 31 on West Coast

[JeffM]

I used to own an Albin 31 and I loved the boat. I am retired now and I want to get another 31. I prefer the single 450 Cummins. Anything in California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and British Columbia Canada could work. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks Jeff

Good luck! You may want to consider having one hauled west as well. Slim pickins on these 31's lately with single Cummins. I assume you saw the 2002 on yacht world on the west coast with the single Yanmar. It does seem to have higher hours though.

I did see the 2002 with the 6ly yanmar in it. I am not fond of that engine. I am getting an estimate as to what it would cost to ship a 31 from the east coast to Washington to see if it makes sense to to also look at east coast boats. Hopefully something will come on the market in the next few months that will work for me. Thanks for your response.

Hello Jeff. I shipped my Albin 31 TE from FL to WA at the start of 2019. The cost then was $15 K, and I would not recommend that shipper. I'm presently at Port of Everett (aka Port Gardner). A few months ago another one , coincidentally, appeared on my same dock, and it is for sale. It looks to be in pretty good shape, has a nice blue hull, and I believe twin engines. I cannot recall the broker, but it was easy to find on the inter-net.
