I owned an Allmand 31 for 18 years. Enjoyed every year I owned it.When I traded it in for my Hunter 356, my cousin went to the dealer and scooped it up.The Allmand is a good boat, you won't win many races with it but it is a well built safe vesselIf you go to my web site ......www.mastconfusion.com, it will lead you to my cousins web site and his e-mail address. He will converse with for hours about the Allmand and get you in touch with the Allmand owners web site and they can answer all your questions
