1974 Watkins 9
The Watkins 23 has a full 8' beam. Within the 2,500 lb total weight, the Watkins has 900 lbs of ballast rather than the typical 500 to 600 lbs. A Dios comes complete with a tandem axle trailer.
The keel centerboard design gives a draft with the board up of only 18" but with the board down she has a respectable 6' 0" draft for good windward performance. There appears to be a problem with the centerboard pin as it is out of position and may need some adjustment
The hull paint was rolled on and was not professionally accomplished. The deck paint is peeling.
Come on in and let's get a deposit put down on this starter boat 23' Watkins.
