Allmand - Allmand Freedom Flying Bridge: 26' Allmand FB Cruiser
I've owned the Allmand for 28 years. Its been the most troublefree boat I've ever owned. The single V-8 (351 Pleasurecraft, 290 HP) moves the boat at 15-28 MPH cruise with a top speed of 34 MPH. Fuel consumption is 2.5 MPG at cruise( ~ 3200 RPM). The Allmand is stable at rest and speed. When seas get high (3-6'), you have to pull back on the throttle, and life is good. The build quality is comparable to the 26 Bertram, but the V-bottom is only 13 degree deadrise at the transom. Therefore, it won't take the large seas as fast as the Bertram. However, it only requires a single engine to perform as well. Great boat! Flush cockpit, FB for three, stable, good speed and gas mileage, roomy cabin for two, and good build quality.
