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. Below is a list of some of her features.
