2002 Albemarle Sportfish Express – Twin CAT C7s – Loaded with Electronics – 725 Hours

This well-kept 2002 Albemarle Sport Fish Express is a proven offshore fishing platform, powered by twin Caterpillar C7 diesel engines with outdrives showing approximately 725 hours. Known for their rugged build, ride quality, and fishability, Albemarles remain highly sought after in the sportfishing market.

The boat is equipped with a sportfish tower featuring an upper helm, and all shift and throttle cables have been recently replaced at both stations, ensuring smooth and reliable operation. A major electronics upgrade has been completed, including new Garmin GPS, sonar, and radar, along with a FLIR thermal camera for enhanced night and low-visibility operation.

For serious anglers, this vessel includes a Rhodan trolling motor with recently installed lithium batteries, a Cannon electric downrigger, and updated water and baitwell pumps. Comfort and reliability upgrades include recently re-upholstered cushions, new AGM batteries, and a new heat exchanger for the generator.
