• 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.

There is a 38ft MONK 1982 Motorsailer on Tampa FL craigslist for sale for $5000! It was banked up in Hurricane Irma at its dock. Owner will be there this weekend to show. Looks like a real deal for a handy boat fixer. No water inside Dock rash and rig work needed. Go for it!!!
 
I have no dog in this fight. Im just adding to a discussion.

A reply from the owner this morn says this:

Thank you Tim , no she is a great boat ,i am just done with this dream ,i had worked two years on her getting her ready to have some fun . Dragon lady has had her steering and autopilot rebuilt her windlass rebuilt ,new stove , a new starboard fuel tank was just being installed before the storm , I new raw pump was just put on her , the engine and transmission are all in great shape 3300 hours , the mast and rigging have bee removed last month as both were damaged , but if you want to go back to a motor sailed I have it all in my barn in tennessee , this is going to be a great deal for someone willing to do some work , I just bought enough teak boards on board to make the toe rail and
Rub rail repairs on her . I have clear documentaion in hand for her , 423-942-9343 Thank Rich

Now, looking at a similar boat in FL:

1982 MONK 40' 0' (12.19m) For Sale - Curtis Stokes & Associates, Inc. - Old Spice
listed for $87,500

Seems like a good deal.
Does not seem to be wood

My daddy always taught me to be suspicious of too good of deals......

But if this is a true story....WOW!

Its too late, I just contacted the owner and he sold it yesterday. Was on craigslist one day
 
It sure is...

I looked at in person and it's a very interesting looking boat. Lots of cracked wood around the rails. With work it could be a pretty boat I suspect.

This caught my eye though -

So it was sold for 5k, and now on sale for 15k and from the pictures not much was done on her.
It is a really nice one with potential but lot needs to be done (like finding a red soda bottle for starboard nav light lol )

great price, but the layout looks unfriendly to entertaining a larger group. I do not like the rear deck area.
 
I always get a laugh out of craigslist ads like that one. Worded as if he thinks he's doing the world a favor by offering it for sale. And, of course, the idiotic "if I don't sell it for the price I want then I'm going to sell it for even more later" statement.


Do these people really not get how stupid they sound? Yet you see craigslist ads like that pretty regularly.

He’s quite a rude fella. I emailed him. He probably wears an orange vest, carries a stick at all times, and yells “get off my lawn” way too much.
