While I don't have a ton of experience on the 2820, I did a couple of sea-trials on one in 3-5 foot wind chop (San Francisco Bay) after spending 4 days fishing the 2520 in similar conditions in Alaska. The extra weight and length of the 28 did provide for a slightly better ride in a head sea...

Hi Bill, My Albin had a 6.5L GM diesel marinized by Peninsular. 3 tows in 2 1/2 years; the last from on top of the Pioneer on a tuna trip. Cruise speed fully loaded was about 15/16 knots. I'll pay more for fuel for the perceived comfort of having a backup engine, and an engine package that...

Thanks to the sponsors again for a great site. I'm planning on purchasing a 2820 around the end of the year. I'm in the SanFrancisco Bay area, and was lucky enough to seatrial this boat last week. There aren't many in this area. I was curious what sort of mileage members with the 2820 are...
