Have you seen this 32 in Noank? When I was Albin shopping in the summer of '07 I looked at five 28TE's between Eastern LI and Wickford RI. I ended up with the 28 in Wickford. That day I had a tentative appt to see this 32 in Noank but did not have the time and the 28 was my target boat so I never ended up seeing it. When I seen your location, I remembered it and thought "that boat must have sold." I see that it has not sold and it's still with the same broker. Looks like a solid boat for a '91 and well equipped. Maybe it's the age that is making it hard to sell...

Be very very careful if looking at a pre 1995 32. This advice straight from the mouth of the designer to me. There were issues with the V drive system. From 95 onwards thwese were eliminated with the Cummins & the ZF tranny bolted directly to the engine. Also pre 95 the cabin is very different from the later models. The galley is fwd & the table fwd drops to become the bed. The later galley aft & centerline queen berth is a much nicer arrangement.

WE DO NOT LIKE THE CABIN LAY OUT ON THE PRE 95 MODELS,WE ALSO LOOKED AT THE SPORT FISHER AT NOANK CT,NOT ONLY DID WE NOT LIKE THE CABIN LAY OUT BUT ALSO THE BRIDGE LAY OUT,ALSO THAT BOAT HAS A SMALLER CAT MOTOR(NOT THAT IT IS A BAD THING)AFTER REALLY CHECKING THE 32+2 FOR SALE OUT THERE FOR THE PAST 21/2 TO THREE YEARS THE BEST ONE THAT I SAW WAS A BELIVE 95 ON BOATS.COM --------RELAX II------I THINK SOMEONE IN THIS GROUP BOUGHT IT FROM THE TEAK SCREEN DOOR I SAW,I ALSO THOUGHT I READ IN ONE OF THE CHATS THAT THE BOAT HAD STERN AS WELL AS BOW THUSTER???
