Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Albemarle 246 1987 vs Albemarle 310 XF 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Albemarle 246 1987 vs Albemarle 310 XF 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The Albemarle 246 1987 carries a rated maximum of 290 hp. Engine data for the Albemarle 310 XF 2013 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Albemarle 310 XF 2013 carries 325 gallons versus 12 gallons in the Albemarle 246 1987. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Albemarle 310 XF 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Albemarle 246 1987 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Albemarle 310 XF 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Albemarle 310 XF 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 30,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Albemarle 246 1987 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
