Author	Topic:   Looking for a 21 Walkaround
alfred	posted 12-15-2010 09:01 AM ET (US)         I am looking for a 21 Walkaround, if anyone has one for sale, please let me know. Cheers!
unsinkable_2000	posted 12-15-2010 03:32 PM ET (US)             Hi, there was a freshwater 21 for sale this summer/fall in the Massena NY area. I would try calling St. Lawrence Recreation and boat sales in the Massena area and asking him since I think he services most outboards up there and probably knows the boat/owner. If you can't find the phone number, let me know and I will see if I can dig it up for you. Hope that helps

alfred	posted 12-17-2010 09:44 PM ET (US)             I thought that might have been the one you bought Dave.
gqwhaler	posted 12-22-2010 06:55 PM ET (US)             I have owned a 21 for 6 years now. I feel they are very well constructed and sea worthy boats.they are very rare in southern CA. I have only seen two others in the San Diego area in the last 20 years. I purchased mine from the east coast. I would like too know what ledfoot has to say about the 21 in sloppy conditions? good luck in your search cheers captain Billy gqwhaler@hotmail.com
alfred	posted 12-22-2010 08:52 PM ET (US)             I sent him a PM, but haven't received a response yet, maybe his contact info is not up to date. I am curious as well, as most have only good things to say.
Buckda	posted 12-22-2010 09:08 PM ET (US)             I've ridden in a couple of 21's and alongside a 21 and 23' Walkaround in some challenging seas - they seem to handle chop very well. I think in a steep following sea, I'd be a touch concerned about bow steer, but aside from that, this appears to be an excellent, albeit expensive and therefore slow selling, Whaler.
gqwhaler	posted 12-22-2010 11:40 PM ET (US)             Yes they definitely have bow steer when riding down swell. but you get use to the way it handles and can correct for it. I think that is just the price you pay for a deep v that eats up the chop. and with the aggressive bow flare you rarely get wet, or even spray on your glasses.

alfred	posted 12-27-2010 06:53 AM ET (US)             Hi Daveb I tried to do a search, but could not find a 21 Walkaround. Could you post the link? Cheers!
Jubes	posted 12-28-2010 11:37 AM ET (US)             There's one for sale near Chicago - we had it surveyed and it had a lot of water between the hull in the stern so we walked away. A potential project boat but not for us. "Rode hard and put away wet" was the Surveyor's verbal comment after he left the boat.
Hoosier	posted 12-30-2010 05:09 PM ET (US)             I also looked at the one south of Chicago, I thought is was not a keeper. The survey information only confirms that. I don't think it'd be worth shipping it Downunder and then having to park it in the desert for 6 months to dry it out.
alfred	posted 12-31-2010 01:30 AM ET (US)             Agreed, it will have to be a decent one before I consider going thru all the trouble.
