Owners of the 28 Tournament ExpressbyALBINtypically split their time between family cruising, day trips, and serious fishing, with many reporting they spend most hours at the helm or in the big cockpit. Introduced in 1993 and produced in significant numbers (over 1,000 hulls through the 1990s–2000s), it’s a common sight on the used market, especially models from the late 1990s and 2000s.
On the water, the 28 Tournament Expressis repeatedly described as seakindly and predictable, tracking straight with its skeg‑protected rudder and keeping composure in 4–5 ft seas—“The worse it got, the more confidence I had in this boat,” as one review put it; another owner adds it “absolutely smashes through a head sea.” Typical reports note an economical diesel cruise around 18–20 knots, with boats.com citing roughly 4–5 gph at cruise and about 25 knots at the top.
The cockpit is a standout—“plenty of room for friends, dogs and fishing”—and the layout suits day trips, raft‑ups, and tournament duty. Below, the interior is complete but compact: it sleeps two comfortably, a convertible dinette can add berths, the galley is small but functional, and there’s a head with shower; some owners call the cabin “smallish,” and note galley‑up arrangements on certain boats. Maintenance notes from owner forums include routine raw‑water pump work, limited‑life exhaust elbows with reported failures, and attention to cockpit hatch seals and deck drains to prevent standing water; engine access varies by layout, with flush‑deck versions tighter and engine‑box boats easier to service.
