You could get an ear full here. I like the design of their W/A, also the deep walkaround. Is it the best boat. But you get what you pay for. I feel the product is worth the price. I recently had to replace most of my deck. The inspection hatches were not properly sealed and water made its way into the balsa filler.
Weak rub rail. Poor drainage of hatches allowing water in bilge. But, I bought my Proline 2950 new in 93. Still have no plans to get rid of it, and I am generally happy. Every boat is a compromise of some sort.
Good luck shopping. I have owned two now, a 1997 231 Walk and 1998 2950 Walk. I have been very pleased with the boats.
Most have a 19 degree deadrise, which I believe to be a good compromise between nice riding in rough water and stability at rest. Pro-lines 1995(?) and newer are made using their wood free FIST construction making rot much less of a concern. Another thing I liked about the boats is that they have a deep and wide walkaround that allowed me to fish the entire length of the boat in less than calm water = great for bottom and drift fishing. The cockpits are also a good size. The hardware such as switches and hatches and attention to detail are not top knotch but then again they do not carry the price tag of Grady or Albemarle either.
They are a solid mid tier boat that compete very will with others in its price range. Overall, I have been pleased with the boats and would not hesitate to own another. I think the Proline 20 walk should not be compare to any of the other bigger 23+ Proline boats. Many of the new Proline hulls are carry over from the Donzy Brand and thus the problems are carry over to. The 20 walk was the first no wood Proline boat designed by a Proline team of engineers targeting a specific market of boater looking for an all around fishing hull that would be affordable and seaworthy. In that context I think they achieve their goal.
I bought mine in 1995 the first year this model came out and up to this date and after all the punishment I have inflicted to the poor thing I can honestly say it 's got what it takes. You do get the occasional losse rub rail, and a few little things you'll think they could have design better like the rod carrier, a bigger fuel tank (with those new 4 strokes or DFI it is probably fine, I have carb) but overall you get a seaworthy hull that I have taken 20 miles offshore with the confidence it will take me back if seas get rough. When I bought it in 1995 it was rated for 150 hp, and now I think it is rated for 200hp.
I don't think they reinforced the hull to handle 200hp only that they were cautios in 1995 with the new model and didn't want to take chances and after it prove itself they rate it for 200hp. If you see todays specs, this boat is 200 pounds lighter that when I bought it. I saw this hull in a boat show last year and I was glad to see that it haven't change after almost 10 year except for a few ergonomics changes in the cockpit area. Unless I can afford a much bigger boat (bigger problem) in the future I wouldn't trade my 20 walk for a similar size boat, specially after all the equipment I have personally installed (Sounder, Trimtabs, rod holder arc, flush toilet, wash down pump, etc). Right now I am researching those new 4 strokes or maybe a DFI and considering repowering in the near future. Hope it helps.
I have a 1996 20' WA. I have been very pleased with the boat. I bought it with a 115 hp Merc to get good gas mileage and cheaper. The design is very good, have camped out a few times in it. I ski behind it a lot and fish. Taken all over Chesapeake, including a trip from Ches Beach to Chrisfield-4 hr return trip in some very heavy seas.
If I had to do again, I would get 150hp or maybe 175hp. Problems with the boat-I found a little piece of paper in the gas tank that kept getting sucked into the intake and causing it to stall occasionally. It was in there when I bought it, but it took me 2-3 summers to figure out what was going on. Trim gauge only lasted first summer, I did find there was a small void in the hull when I had some repair done after I damaged the hull hauling out at the ramp- a small area that should have been full of styro or glass. It was filled in with the other repair, not a major problem. Am looking to get a bigger boat now, but have been very happy overall with my Proline WA. It will take a lot for a small boat.

The grain structure of stainless, when modified by welding processes has increased susceptibility to micro- corrosion (invisible to the unaided eye) and embrittelment. If you moor your Pro Line in salt water for extended periods make sure to check the anti-corrosion anode often for operation. Make sure the anode surface is exposed and not caked with corrosion and scale. If the anode is eroded renew it.
