This 2003 Albemarle 305 Express combines classic Carolina styling, a spacious fishing cockpit and comfortable overnight accommodations with twin Caterpillar diesel power. Recent improvements to the canvas, upholstery, plumbing and mechanical systems give this express fisherman a fresh presentation and make her an appealing option for offshore fishing, coastal cruising and weekends aboard.
Powered by twin Caterpillar 3126 TA 300 HP diesel engines with approximately 1,250 hours, she offers a straightforward inboard propulsion package. Recent engine maintenance and new Tides dripless shaft seals complement the boat's cosmetic updates. Maintained by the infamous Guy Crudele for the last 13 years with service records, 'MECOB' is ready for her next adventure. Approximately $14,000 in recent improvements and maintenance has been invested, and the owner reports all installed systems are operational.
Cockpit and fishing features
The large, open cockpit provides ample working room for fishing and easy movement around the boat. Features include recessed rod holders, under-gunwale rod storage, cockpit storage compartments and a transom door. The tower with upper helm provides an elevated vantage point, while the covered helm deck offers protection from the elements during longer runs.
Updated helm deck
The centerline helm arrangement provides excellent visibility and convenient access to both sides of the boat. New upholstery on the helm chair and companion seating gives the area a clean, coordinated appearance. SeaDek flooring adds comfort underfoot and a finished look, while the new canvas and clear enclosure panels provide weather protection without sacrificing visibility.
Cabin and accommodations
Below deck, the cabin features a forward berth, convertible-style dinette seating, warm wood cabinetry and a compact galley with sink, refrigerator and microwave. The layout provides a comfortable retreat for overnight trips or a break from the weather. An enclosed private head features a newly installed toilet and updated plumbing.

Overview from around the web 2003 Albemarle 305 Express Fisherman
The 2003 Albemarle 305 Express Fisherman is known as a rugged, capable offshore boat, with a deep-V hull, solid seakeeping, and a practical layout for fishing and cruising
Its express design combines an open cockpit with a sheltered helm and cabin below. Buyers typically value its ride, fishing utility, and sturdy construction. They should carefully check the engines and service records, along with the hull, stringers, deck, fuel system, and electrical equipment for age-related wear, water intrusion, or costly deferred maintenance.
The Biggest Pros and Cons
Pros
Offshore-ready design: A solid, deep-V hull and substantial construction suit a range of coastal and offshore fishing conditions.
Fishing-focused layout: The cockpit offers room to work, while features such as rod storage and a hardtop support serious fishing outings.
Useful cabin space: The enclosed cabin provides shelter and basic overnight or weekend accommodations, adding versatility beyond day trips.
Good visibility and protection: The raised helm and hardtop help keep the captain comfortable and provide a commanding view.
Established model with broad appeal: Its blend of fishing capability and cabin comfort may suit anglers who also want a practical family boat.
Cons
Older-boat considerations: At more than two decades old, condition depends heavily on maintenance, storage, and any repairs or upgrades.
Potentially high operating costs: Twin-engine power can mean greater fuel use and more maintenance than a smaller single-engine boat.
Limited cabin comfort: The accommodations are functional rather than spacious, and may feel compact for extended stays.
Fishing layout trade-offs: The cabin and cockpit structure take up space that could otherwise be devoted to an open fishing deck.
Inspection is essential: Buyers should carefully assess the hull, transom, deck, wiring, plumbing, and engines, and verify service records before purchase.
Made For
The 2003 Albemarle 305 Express Fisherman is for anglers who want a capable offshore boat with the comfort and protection of an express-style layout. It suits experienced fishermen planning coastal runs, family outings, or long days on the water, with space to fish and room to relax between trips.
