2000 Albin 31 Tournament Express

New Bern, North Carolina, United States

$119,500

Introducing SWEET MAGNOLIA, an Albin 31 Tournament Express. Built in Bristol, RI by Pearson, her quality shows. Described by her builders as a fishing machine for the cruising family, she provides the best of both worlds. The boat is very seaworthy with a high bow and stainless steel bow pulpit. Her design provides a soft and stable ride in heavy sea conditions along with very economical fuel consumption. 


The wheelhouse provides fully enclosed protection from the weather. For convenience, a second refrigerator in the wheelhouse holds food and beverages. Walk out through the back doors to the spacious cockpit with a walk through transom and extensive storage. 


Rare on a boat this size, it sleeps four and includes a convertible dinette, full galley, mid cabin double berth, and full head with enclosed shower. New reverse cycle heat and air conditioning provide comfort aboard year round. Overhead hatches and all new opening portals with screens ensure adequate ventilation.


SWEET MAGNOLIA is powered by a Caterpillar 3126 420hp single turbo diesel engine. A bow thruster makes her extremely manageable dockside. A windlass on the bow makes anchoring easy.


A rugged, individualized offshore vessel, the Albin 31 is built without compromise and is uniquely designed to meet the demands of the professional fisherman while providing the creature comforts for the cruising family. Read the detailed descriptions, view the photos, and call today to schedule a reservation to see SWEET MAGNOLIA.
