Description
This beautiful, must see, 1987 Albin Sundeck Trawler is a classic and versatile cruiser, known for its robust construction and spacious design. Measuring 43 feet in length, this trawler features a distinctive sundeck that provides ample outdoor living space, perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The canvas/strataglass enclosed sundeck provides an excellent outside area to enjoy everything from sunrises to sunsets while protecting against rain and midday sun. The sundeck also provides access to a well-proportioned flybridge equipped with a full helm station, including bow and stern thruster controls, radar, compass, depth finder, intercom, and a chart plotter. The flybridge offers excellent visibility for navigation and additional seating for guests.
The traditional trawler profile, with its high bow and wide side decks, is both attractive and functional. The solid construction and quality materials used in the build contribute to the boat’s longevity and seaworthiness. The flared bow provides for a comfortable dry cruise and with its well-designed helm stations, bow and stern thrusters, and reliable engine performance, the trawler is relatively easy to handle, even for those who may not have extensive boating experience. The dependable twin Cummins diesel engines offer a smooth and economical cruising experience, with the power and reliability needed for long passages. The full-displacement hull design provides a stable and comfortable ride, even in rough conditions, making it ideal for extended cruising.
Inside, this 1987 Albin Sundeck Trawler offers a warm and inviting interior with teak wood finishes and a practical layout. The main salon is bright and airy, featuring large windows that offer panoramic views and plenty of natural light. It features comfortable seating, allowing movable furniture so the owner can design the perfect personal layout.
The galley down dining area easily seats six and provides a well-appointed galley including refrigerator, microwave, gas stove and oven. The galley down configuration makes the upper salon an even better space for socializing and everyday living.
The lower decks (aft and forward) house spacious private accommodations. The aft master stateroom boasts a walk around queen bed with a sleep number mattress. There is an amazing amount of storage in the hanging locker and built in beautiful teak cabinetry. Flowing off the stateroom an ensuite head provides privacy and convenience, featuring a tub/shower, toilet, and sink. This private bathroom arrangement enhances the comfort for the boat’s primary owners.
The forward cabin is also designed to provide comfort and functionality, making it a desirable space for guests or children. The forward cabin is separated from the main living area and master stateroom, providing a private and quiet space. The cabin has V-berths or a double berth depending on your choice, offering comfortable sleeping accommodations. The berths are well-cushioned and spacious enough for a good night’s sleep. Most importantly the cabin has easy access to the guest head, which includes a toilet and sink.
This trawler is considered a wonderful choice for cruising up and down the inland waterway or transversing the great loop. This boat can be run from upper or lower helms, offering the choice of comfort while cruising on the journey of a lifetime.
