2015 Albin 26 Center Console

In this demanding time we live, the Albin 26 Center Console is the perfect platform for the avid fisherman. She performs the role of a much larger boat, but with the convenience and economics of a small one. Gas prices are poised to hit $4 dollars this summer; cost of labor is way up, and there is an ever-shrinking supply of moorings and slips making big boat ownership costs and maintenance untenable. The Albin 26 Center Consoles inboard diesel engine sips fuel while offering low maintenance, reliability and tremendous range.

With standard diesel power the high-speed hull planes quickly and delivers high cruising speeds with surprising economy. With today's diesel engines, one gets the gas advantages of responsive, low end torque and quietness which is combined with the diesel's extremely good fuel economy, reliability and low maintenance costs

Her clean design also maximizes unobstructed deck space allowing 360 unimpeded fishing, giving the fish no quarter. Unlike center console boats powered by outboards or stern drives, the inboard design of the 26 CC gives fisherman use of the stern again. No longer will they have to avoid engines, drives or props when theyve hooked the big one. Additionally, the obstruction-free transom and optional Tuna door make landing a big catch that much more convenient. The boat also has a pocket drive that lets her troll the shallows with 26" draft.

Another tremendous advantage of the 26 CCs inboard, diesel drive system over outboards is the fantastic weight distribution. By having the powertrain mounted closer to the boats longitudinal center, and lower in the hull, along with her hull design gives the 26 CC her peerless sea keeping, handling and stiffness. The Albin is able to maintain higher speeds in heavy seas which can be a great advantage in a tournament.The cockpit is laid out with Albin's attention to maximizing space and ergonomics. With a maximum beam of 8' 6, the Albin 26' Center Console is easily towed by any properly equipped light-duty truck, van or SUV.

The Albin allows the avid fisherman to have a battle wagon to go against the big guys without emptying his war chest, spending more time fishing and with the family.

The 26 CC is manufactured at Albins plant in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
