Spoke with "Walkabout" at 0830 this morning 12/1/05. At 0830 they were just north of Southport, NC in the Cape Fear River at about ICW MM 305. I asked Andre...
Hi everyone, Looking for a little information and advice. Currently my W27 has a combination bow light mounted on the rail on the pulpit. Since I do quite a...
NO!... Not mine! A local paper has the following listed- "27' Watkins, 1980 in good shape, shoal draft," (no s#!T right,lol) "13 hp diesel, wheel steering, all...
John, take a look at the some of the steaming lights which also has a "deck light" built into the bottom of it. Mine has a 20 watt halogen lamp and produces a...
Wow! That is cheap! I would like to know. If it is anywhere near Lake Huron I would tell a friend of mine who is looking at buying a boat. It is hard to...
Current NADA listing for a '80 W27 is $8,500 to $10,500 not considering accessories. The lower value is for a boat that shows 'excessive wear' and will need...
Thanks Terry. I have a steaming light deck light combo, but I also have a radar dome mounted below below it and that blocks most of the deck light. I also...
Marilynne: If you think a 27 Watkins should be $18,000 usd then I can only assume that you paid too much for yours. I don't think I have ever found anyone...
Lou: Where did you find the NADA listing? Mine is a 82W27 in decent shape and I would love to know what the current value would be. Henry s/v Clueless (NJ) ......
Henry...3Cheers is listed on the Watkins site for $7600 which is more than I paid but not more than I've put into her. I raised the price by $600 to offset...
I have a 78W27, 21 years ago I paid $16500.00 for her. At the time my surveyor said that was a good price. I would hate to total how much I've spent on her in...
I agree with you about being priceless. I guess once you have bought a boat you have to just enjoy her. Its kind of like your dog. You do not look at the...
I have a 1983 27 that does not leak. If you don't maintain the boat and dont replace the plastic ports after 20 years any boat will leak. Chain plates and all...
Just for grins in 1984 my 1983 sold "as new" in inventory for $36,000. A conservative estimate of what I have spent would at least be that much to maintain the...
Henry, nada.com will get you there then choose boats and follow the logical choices from there. I've never been asked how much we payed for our boat but to...
My mate and I are about to become owners of hull #46. Interestingly, we narrowed our search down to #46 and #47, the last one! I read an owners review by Stu...
I finally heard from Walkabout tonight. All aboard are doing well. I was not able to get through on cell phone until tonight because they were 'outside' and...
I guess it's ok to post this, I hope, anyway............................It's a long story, but...........last spring, Terry called me in the morning while I...
My son sealed the space between the top of the tank and the liner in his '79 W27 with 5200 a few months ago. Apparently there is alot of flexing there. He...

The word "Tank" is sort of a misnomer. A better description might be a fiberglass bathtub is tabbed to the hull before the interior liner is installed. After...
If you son finds a flexible water tank to fit in his v-birth tank for his W27 I would like to know where he gets it, as I would like to do the same. Thanks. ...
I too have found material that looks like caulking in my water tank and thus we do not use the water. I would love to find a liner to put in the tank so we can...
