[Public-List] Alberg 30 or Triton?

[Lawrence Morris]

Daniel.

I like your ambitious plan. A couple of things to consider. The triton  
has a fractional rig and the Alberg is masthead. A masthead rig has  
proven to be a more reliable. Especially offshore. Score one for the  
Alberg.

If you are looking at preliner boat(400 or under) they are built very  
strong. Robust hull to deck joint and tabbed in bulkheads I would go  
for the Alberg. My impression of the triton is it is not as strongly  
built. I admit I have limited experience with the triton. You can't go  
wrong with the Alberg.
