    How does an Albemarle 24 Express Drift in the sea ?

    Does an Albemarle 24 Express drift in the trough (side facing the oncoming sea) ? or with the stern to the oncoming sea ?
    Thanks for the help.

    Don't know much about the 24's.

    I know the 28's were snap roll monsters. Horrible on the drift.

    We have a 2001 305 and it's a different hull. i give in a 6-7 out of 10 for stability on the drift.

    This is not a hull you would want if you primarily drift fish. They will roll you out of the boat.

    Yup...I have about 2000 hours on board my 247. They like to be moving. They will rock and roll in any beam sea. I don't know if I'd call it a snap-roll but with a 24 degree deadrise at the stern and an 8ft beam you can imagine what you get.
