My general advice is to avoid this boat with teak decks which are obviously leaking and where at least a few screws have lost thieir bungs due to sanding or cleaning. What you cannot see and will find when you remove the deck and headliner, is that the "mystery" wood--it may be plywood-- in the core of the deck is saturated and most likely rotten. If the boat is enough of a bargin, and the problem is localized, you might consider fixing it. But this may involved cutting out some of the core, re corring the deck--and then putting on new glass and rebeding the teak--assuming that it is thick enough to drill the counter sunk holes deeper. If the rot is not too bad, then another approach is to cover the entire deck with truck bedliner material. I suspect that several posters will comment on this aspect. But be sure that you repair any in the core. Looking at the photos on YachtWorld.com, several of the boats show signs of water intrusion on the photos--I suspect this is a common problem. Also in the older boats consider the condition of the fuel tanks. The Albins are nice boats and good for coastal cruising. The question is can you find a comperable boat for the same price?--or should you make a very low offer because of this. If you make a low offer, get a boat yard to give an estimate on the cost of repair--with the assumption that there is rotten core. Regards Bob Austin
