Albemarle – 280 XF Express

The Albemarle 280 Express is an updated version of the company’s popular 27 Express with an updated interior and redesigned deck layout. Heavily built on an aggressive deep-v hull with a wide 9’6″ beam, the 280’s solid package of hardcore fishing amenities – together with good range and equally good turn of speed – placed her in the leading ranks of under 20-foot sportfishing boats. Features include an integral bow pulpit, (2) in-deck fish boxes, folding rear seat, aft-facing cockpit seat, twin transom live wells / fish boxes, cockpit rod storage, fresh-water / raw-water washdowns, trim tabs, gas-assist engine hatch lift, locking cabin rod storage, cockpit bolsters and gunnel rod holders. Below deck, the 280’s roomy teak-trimmed interior includes a teak-and-holly sole, stand-up head / shower compartment, compact galley with refrigerator, microwave oven and a convertible dinette / v-berth forward.
