    • 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:

    • 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.

  • 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.

This is a beautiful, well maintained Classic Californian Long Range Cruiser (LRC)​

Features- The boat sleeps 6, has full head with standing shower, Salon galley includes 10 cf refrigerator/freezer, 3 burner propane stove w/oven, double sink. It is powered by 2-1985 200 HP Perkins Turbo Diesels w/ ~2300hrs. ea. that together burn 4 gal/hr. @ 8 kts. providing a 720 mi. cruising range. It has a 75 gal. fresh water tank and 35 gal. waste holding tank, 11 gal. elec. hot water tank also heated by port engine. The fly bridge deck and railing are extended over the cockpit.

Major updates since purchase in 2006 include:


2006- New twin 180 gal. aluminum fuel tanks,


2011- New Garmin 5212 chart plotter w/HD Radar and remote monitor in salon; new VHF Radio w/ remote mic and new antenna; new 11 gal. water heater; new holding tank macerator pump; and new fresh water pump.


2012- New 16000 BTU forced air Heat Pump AC; used 2005 MASE 3kw diesel generator, current 345 hrs.; new fly bridge Biminis, radar arch, and stainless steel railing w/ canvas cover.


2013- Installed an additional AC unit for the Salon, a new 13500 BTU RV style unit; New fly bridge seating.


2016- New elec. head pump, new Salon settee cushions.


We purchased this boat in 2006 from the second owner. Very well maintained with all maintenance records since our 2006 purchase to include owners manuals for boat and engines. Only in TX Southern Gulf waters for 5 years. Until 2011, cruised and moored 10 years in Seattle and 21 years in Alaska. We brought the boat to TX after moving here in 2011. We cruised it from Prince William Sound, AK to Seattle (2000 miles), the boat was then trucked to Rockport. This is a very comfortable and stable boat -- the boat handled all water and weather conditions flawlessly during our 6 week cruise.


This will make a great boat for day cruising or extended cruises of the gulf coast or the great loop.

$39,000 OBO​

condition

What condition is the brightwork in? How would you rate the interior/any water stains/rot. Hows the windows? Any known soft spots in the deck/house?
 
The bright work is being refinished. House teak work is done as you can see in the picks, the gunnel cap still needs to be finished. I am not aware of any soft spots in the decks and the interior is in good shape as you can see by the pictures. The windows were all re-caulked before refinishing the teak. There are some condensation moisture marks on the wood inside around the windows that have not been refinished yet but the windows do not leak and I am not aware of any wood rot.
 
This is my favorite engine combo on the 34 LRC. What's your cruise speed and WOT speed?

That's a great price with relatively low time engines!
 
I cruise at 8kts at 1500 rpm. WOT is 2250 rpm for 12-14 kts depending on weight of boat at the time, ie. water fuel, passengers, gear, along with hull bottom condition.
 
Pics of the fly bridget seating? Where do you keep the dink? Are you able to run the A/C off that little gen set?
 
The dingy tips up on the swim step davits. The generator will run one AC plus another load such as the water heater, toaster, etc. while still running battery charger and other light loads. The fly bridge seating consists of one fixed captains helm chair, two cushioned deck chairs, and the lid of the storage box. There is sufficient room on the fly bridge for several more chairs. I did not include these pics in the first post because I was limited in the number I could use. I just discovered I can now add more during a reply. Here are two of the fly bridge and one of the radar arch.

The white cover in the middle is the AC unit. I built the cover to make the space useable as a table.
 
thanks for the interest in my boat. I have sold it here locally.
