They sure look awfully similar! There is a nice used Albermarle for sale here in SoCal. Initially, the overall boat looks much larger mainly because of the height of the cabin area. I only looked at the boat for a few moments but the biggest difference I saw was the height of the cockpit floor. The height of the floor on the Albermarle is higher than my F233 is as it was designed to be self-bailing. Searching the Internet, there are lots of discussions about the similarities of these two hulls by people with much more knowledge than myself..... (I believe I saw some information on a Bertram owners site)....
