• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Wanted: Small trawler wanted, FL or close.

The friendliest place on the web for anyone who enjoys boating.

Prairie 29
I am looking for a small trawler with max. 3' 6" draft, single diesel.
The Prairie 29 is a good example but I will look at others. Must be in good condition, no project please. I am cash buyer and serious.
Some preferences: generator and AC, autopilot.
Location: Florida east cost (Vero Beach) but I can pick up in other locations in SE US.

Thank you. Very nice but much larger than what I have in mind.
I am downsizing, coming from a 41 footer that I never took out because it was too much boat.

I have a real nice Nordic 32 in the classifieds, Located in Jacksonville. Take a look!
 
Thanks but I prefer the trawler style.
 
I have a 2016 swift trawler 34 loaded! Great loop pkg. 39" draft. 1 gph at 6 kts. 21 kt top end. Would consider a realistic offer. My wife has some health issues that are keeping me home for an undetermined time. The boat is phenomenal in every way. 400 hours on her. Ft myers. 3174323626 if interested


Sunset Grille 2016- Swift 34
 
Thank you but I should refine my request. I am looking for a small trawler. By small, I mean 30' max.
Also, budget is 50K max. Most Prairie 29's go for 30K or less.
34 or 36 is too big, sorry.

Got one, a Prairie 29.

Thanks for all who messaged to propose a boat.

Enjoy!!! I sure enjoyed mine!!!
 
I am not the owner of the Swift 34. That was somebody else proposing his boat for sale.
 
My Swift 34

You can contact me at jhwilson96@aol.com and I can then forward you pictures and the price. A new one equipped as mine is $430,000. Mine is exactly 1 year old, and has 400 hours (just broken in). It has the Great Loop package and the latest Raymarine electronics both in the helm and on the bridge. The helm has the E127 (larger unit) and it has Navionics Gold. It has the bug screen package, radar, all of the cushions, and is in perfect condition. Autopilots both helms, stereo throughout, large televisions in the master and in the salon, and the Beneteau mooring package (which features 80' heavy chain, 160 feet of heavy rode, and a great anchor (Beneteau proprietary anchor) with windlass. It also has an AB 9.5 dinghy with davits on the bridge, a bimini top and a 15 hp Yamaha if that is of interest to you, and it has trick davits installed on the back deck that yield the dinghy as a life boat. the engine is the Cummins 6.7 which is very quiet and fuel efficient. I have mixed emotions about selling it but my wife's health is a significant factor at this point. Contact me by email and we can talk. I am traveling a lot right now, but I see my email frequently.

JoeBad, I found the boat I wanted. I am not looking for a trawler anymore.
