Albury Brothers 23 REVIEW | A Bahamian Built Legend
Vložit

- There is no secret that the 23 Albury is a highly sought after boat that holds its value better than almost any other 23' center console. In this video I go over why exactly that. We explore the features of this 23 Albury and then after that we go into the performance that makes these Albury Brothers boats so famous. A couple quick details for yall before we get started. She is a 2022 Albury Brothers 23 powered with a Yamaha F300 engine. Instead of the Birdsall Marine hard top, she has a laceless soft top that helps to keep the center of gravity low. She has Garmin electronics, Zipwake trim tabs, a JL Audio sound system, and custom Birdsall Marine diamond stitched upholstery. She really is the perfect small center console.
As always, please reach out if I can be a resource for anything boating or Bahamas related. Contact information below.

Rented an Albury 23 in Hopetown several years ago, terrific boat, incredibke handling
I have had an older 23 Contender than a newer 04 23 regulator and then ordered a 23 from Jeff Lichterman in 08. Hands down..Best riding all around does so many things right type of boat. Perfect for the GOM and what impressed me is the soft re-entry. It is very hard to make these hulls slam. Super simple, with less is more approach and extremely well built. Basically, a lifetime boat. I am a cat guy and if I went back to a mono CC I would get another Albury bros. It is the closest ride to a cat that you can get in a mono hull. Great review. Subscribed
I could not agree more. Our 23 is a boat that we will never say. It is a true lifetime boat!
I love the older sea raft boat specially the 19
I LOVE me a classic SeaCraft boat
I was thinking of building an ab23. However I could find any videos of them running through the chop to 3 footers. I have already completed a flats boat and this was the next boat I planned to build. If you could post some videos from a nasty day on the water that would be great. Also what is your draft as you are built light? Thanks
I don’t have any videos out in anything rough but I can guarantee that you will walk away impressed by her seakeeping ability for a 22 boat. If you are in the central Florida area I can take you out. I couldn’t give you an exact number on draft. It is not something we have really measured
I’d love to switch my switch panel to that exact one! Anyway you have a link or info to get one?
Absolutely. Shoot me an email and I’ll help you out. Nickolinde@me.com
Its great to have a boat that you can trust.
I agree!
Excelente vídeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Muchas gracias!
Nice Tag
What do you mean?
I take delivery of a new 23 on Saturday. !
I can’t wait to see yours brother!
Beautiful btw…
Thank you!
Roughly what did this cost as equipped???
Ehh we got a really good price on this one because it was from a friend and it was unfinished (though all parts were included) but we paid $125k and then had to go and install everything and finish out the boat.
@@NickOlinde thanks….at cruise speed and full gas what do you estimate is the range??
@@jimlarkin7859 Ehh its going to be 300+ with reserve. More than you'll ever need on a 23'er haha
Thanks Nick !
Plan on visiting Man o. War when in Bahamas around Thanksgiving…
Abacos one of the most amazing places on earth..
Please swing camera around less. I’m getting seasick and the boat isn’t moving.
Wet boat and extremely over priced
I would strongly disagree with you on overpriced. With current pricing they are pretty on par with other top-tier/high-end CCs in this size range. Obviously the Sea Hunts, Cobias, Sportsman’s, etc are a lot cheaper but they are also nowhere near the boat. You are paying for a top quality product and you get what you pay for. An Albury is a lifetime boat that you can hand down to your kids and they can hand down to their kids. I and many others highly value quality and and build quality and are willing to pay for it. There is a reason why a lot of people keep these boats for a lifetime. Not to mention they will outride everything else haha
When it comes to the wet comment, all small CCs are wet in any sort beam wind. The Albury is definitely a low freeboard boat with no flare at all but I’m not going to argue haha
@@NickOlinde yea bro I don’t argue just my opinion I have driven a lot of different 23 ft Albury the 27 ft Albury is a different story I love that boat the 23 is just not capable to go offshore fishing from my experience nice content keep it up
