32 Albemarle Thoughts?

Carla Dee · 02-10-2008, 06:54 PM

I'm thinking about picking up a 32 Albemarle... any thoughts from the swordfish crowd? The only negative I've been hearing is the rock of this hull at drift. I would like to hear from some of you who really fish and can compare this to comparable models...

Thanks in advance.

My buddy fishes on one up off Jersey and has mixed thoughts. He said it's an incredible boat running; especially in a head sea. But will about throw you out of the boat when you setup and drift.

Ñoooooooooo

Sharp deep V bottom good head sea boat at drift or anchored will roll like hell.

I looked at one a year ago and did not buy because of the rolling. I think it depends how and where you fish as to the boat's suitability for you. If you are in New Jersey or Orange Beach where you have a long run and then troll it's probably a good choice. Personally, I like to drift for swords, deep drop, or livebait, so the deep vee hull isn't ideal. Stability is more important. They are a nice boat however, and I came close to getting one.
