John just thought I would toss my 2 cents in here on my 32 Albi, it is a great boat in every way Accept the rocking. If you get sideways on the drift she will dip the riggers in a short chop. I was just recently discussing with Paul the modifications needed to settle it down on the drift without hurting performance. To keep it short if you want to run through big rough water buy the Albi if you want to drift, better try it out on a bad day before you buy one.

The higher sides and beefier overall design make that model a different animal than the 32 or the 28. I see a little less roll in the one we have fishing out here and on another in the keys. On the drawback side is that they don't seem to have the ride of the others and with that beefy design my educated guess would be that fuel efficiency is not high on the thumbs up part of the list... I fish four passengers regularly and seating never seems to be an issue at least for me...The owner of the other 28 liked the seating of the one you like but after much weighing and balancing on the finacial end couldn't justify the extra expense...
