Had an opportunity to check out a Walker H28 in Cairns. In a strange mod the engine has been replaced by an electric motor. Did not see a huge battery bank, looked like maybe 400 AH setup, but it had a sophisticated charging system for mains (read marina) charging.

The heads area also looks like it was set up to form a 3/4 bunk on the Stbd side.

Access hatches in the cockpit sole make for easy access to the motor. (And to re-fit a diesel).
Apparently been on the market for a while. Has rusty gal standing rigging. i am told that riggers in Cairns are a lot cheaper than down South.

Also told that shipping to Sydney could be as little as $8,000. Compare with shipping from Dampier, which was $18k.

With a bow spit like that shes a cutter plus the head photo sail bag . Interesting lift up tiller would be good at anchor .
They have come down in price a bit over the last year.
Dream weaver would be worth a look Yarra plus the owner might just sailer her down for you

IMHO the electric motor is just plain crazy. Even if you were only lake sailing it could be dubious, but for the Barrier Reef, and large tides you need a real motor.
So for this boat you would have to price in a new motor plus new standing rigging as a minimum. Like his anchor winch arrangement though.
