Watkins 25 Seawolf / Alumatrek Custom Built Trailer – Perfect Project Trailer Sailor
FOR SALE – FOR SAIL
I am selling my Watkins Seawolf 25, a project boat with immense potential for the right person. Purchased in Spring 2019, this sailboat has undergone extensive refitting, with no expense spared on repairs and upgrades. While it’s not yet ready to sail, it’s perfect for someone looking for a solid Trailer-Sailor project.
If you are looking for a capable trailer-sailer, then you need to see this boat. This is one of the last Seawolf 25’s to come out of the factory weighing 4800 lbs. This a truly solid boat. She is powered by a single cylinder Yanmar diesel that sips fuel. She starts and runs like a dream. She uses just over a liter per hour at 2800 RPMs which drives her at hull speed.
Key Features:
– Year: 1986
– Length: 25 feet
– Beam: 8 feet
– Draft: 2.5 ft
– Keel: Fully Encapsulated Shoal Draft
– Displacement: Approximately 4,800 pounds
– Ballast: 1,900 lbs.
– Oversized mast and standing rigging
– Sails new in 2018.
– Engine: Yanmar 1GM10, fully refreshed and tested
– Standing headroom for a 6 foot tall sailer; sleeps 4.
Trailer Details:
The boat comes with a custom-built Alumatrek trailer (2019), designed specifically to fit this Watkins 25 Seawolf allowing for easy and secure transportation. The trailer is float-on and is equipped with a keel tunnel that is designed to be able to launch the boat in many of Florida’s deeper boat ramps meant for larger boats. The trailer is also built with a second winch near the bowsprit to aid in raising and lowering the mast. The custom trailer alone cost over $5,000, highlighting its quality and suitability for this sailboat.
Pricing:
I have invested over $25,000 in this boat so far. Due to an early retirement, I can no longer complete this project any time soon. The price listed is negotiable. More information can be found here:
