2001 Albemarle 280 XF - Freshwater-Only | Twin MerCruiser 350 MAGs
If you're looking for a serious offshore-capable fishing boat with a reputation for exceptional ride quality, durability, and fishability, this 2001 Albemarle 280 XF deserves your attention. Freshwater-kept since new and powered by twin MerCruiser 5.7L 350 MAG engines with approximately 840 hours, this vessel has been well cared for and is ready for its next owner.
Albemarle has long been known for building some of the toughest and best-riding boats in its class. The 280 XF features a deep-V hull that delivers a soft, confident ride in rough water while maintaining excellent stability at rest. Whether you're targeting salmon on the Great Lakes, heading offshore, or enjoying a weekend cruise with family and friends, the 280 XF offers a versatile platform that excels in a variety of conditions.
This freshwater-only example benefits from several desirable upgrades and features, including Bennett trim tabs for enhanced ride control and efficiency, an onboard battery charger for convenient shore power charging, and professionally installed rudder extensions and balancing by DB Marine, improving low-speed handling and overall performance.
The spacious cockpit provides plenty of room for fishing and entertaining, while the well-appointed cabin offers overnight accommodations, making this a true multi-purpose vessel. With Albemarle's renowned build quality, dependable twin 350 MAG power, and a freshwater history, opportunities like this don't come along often.
