Feedback like this really matters to us.

When you buy a new boat without visiting the dealership, it takes trust, good communication, and careful attention to every detail.

Kurt recently bought his new Sea Sport Kodiak 2600 and boat trailer from Alberni Power & Marine using just phone calls, emails, and texts.

With over 40 years of boating experience, Kurt described Brad as the most professional and honest dealer he's ever worked with. That means a lot to us.

Thank you, Kurt, for trusting Alberni Power & Marine and for sharing your story. We really appreciate your kind words and hope you enjoy many great years on the water.

If you’ve bought a boat, Mercury outboard, parts, or service from us, we’d love to hear your feedback. Your stories help other boaters and encourage us to keep giving our best.

Serious cockpit space. Full pilothouse comfort. All in 26 feet. 🌊🎣

The Osprey 26 Legend brings both together in a layout built to make every foot of space work harder for fishing, cruising, and longer days aboard.

At 7' x 8', the self-bailing cockpit provides substantial working room for rods, tackle, coolers and multiple anglers. Full walkaround access with high side rails keeps movement between the cockpit and bow easy & quick when the action moves around the boat.

Behind the full-height waterproof pilothouse door, the 9' x 6'6" cabin changes the experience. Six feet of headroom, a protected helm, dinette and galley provide a comfortable space for longer runs, changing weather and time between fishing sessions.

Moving forward, the cuddy provides sleeping accommodations for overnight stays. A full stand-up head with shower, hot water system and privacy curtains adds the convenience needed when you're spending more than a day aboard.

This Cloud White Osprey 26 Legend has the power & equipment to match:

☑️ Twin Mercury 200 HP V6 FourStroke outboards
☑️ Mercury 15 HP XL ProKicker EFI Engine
☑️ 150 USG fuel capacity
☑️ 30+ MPH cruising speed
☑️ SIMRAD electronics package

At Alberni Power & Marine, the ownership experience goes beyond choosing the boat. Mercury power, marine electronics, rigging and dealer upgrades can be tailored around your fishing and boating plans. Canada's largest Mercury outboard inventory and an 8-time consecutive (2018–2025) Mercury CSI Award-winning team bring the product choice and installation expertise together under one roof.

Watch the full walkthrough and see how the Osprey 26 Legend uses every part of its 26' layout.

Big on displacement. Light on weight. The 𝐌𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟓𝟎 𝐇𝐏 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡.

Those advantages have made it a trusted repower choice for boaters seeking dependable performance, strong torque, and everyday versatility.

Whether you're heading offshore, chasing salmon, or spending the day on the water with family, it's engineered to deliver the confidence every trip demands. 🌊 🎣

Built around a 3.0L (179 CID) inline-4 powerhead with more displacement than the leading competitor, the Mercury 150 HP FourStroke outboard produces strong low-end torque and responsive acceleration throughout the operating range. At the same time, its 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 weighs less than the leading competitor, helping maximize performance without adding unnecessary weight at the transom.

A maintenance-free valve train reduces routine service requirements, while the high-output 60-amp alternator provides dependable charging power for today's onboard electronics. SmartCraft®️ compatibility gives access to real-time engine information to help monitor performance & maintenance.

At Alberni Power & Marine, every Mercury repower is professionally matched with Mercury controls, rigging, wiring, and installation so every component works together as a complete system.

The result is a 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞 that delivers the performance, reliability, and refinement Mercury intended from day one.

☑️ Installation & service from an 8-time consecutive (2018–2025) Mercury CSI Award-winning team

Nothing else compares to the V10 Verados from Mercury! 🌊

Mercury Marine's Verado V10 350–425 HP outboards combine the qualities experienced boaters appreciate most—strong performance, refined comfort, fuel efficiency, and dependable reliability.

Built on Mercury's advanced 5.7L V10 platform, these premium engines deliver smooth acceleration, quiet operation, and confident handling that make every hour behind the helm more enjoyable.

The numbers tell the story. The 425 HP Verado is up to 254 lbs lighter than a competing 450 HP outboard while reaching 30 mph up to 3 seconds faster under load. The 350 HP Verado is up to 40% quieter at cruising speed and 4 seconds faster while reaching 0 to 30 mph compared to a 350 HP alternative, helping reduce fatigue and making conversations onboard easier throughout the day.

Whether you're running offshore, cruising the coastline, or docking in a busy marina, technologies like Advanced MidSection (AMS), Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS), Adaptive Speed Control, and available Joystick Piloting work together to deliver the premium boating experience Mercury Verado is known for.

At Alberni Power & Marine, every Mercury repower begins with understanding how you use your boat. As BC's most trusted Mercury repower centre, backed by Canada’s largest Mercury outboard inventories and an 8-time consecutive (2018–2025) Mercury CSI Award-winning team, we help configure every repower for the best balance of performance, reliability, and long-term value.
