• 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.

For Sale is an Ex-Navy 40' Admiral's Launch

I have been reading the forum for months and had been hoping to join as an owner in my own right but.......

Purchased the Launch last spring to truck her to Bellingham and finish the interior over the summer with the help of my 'boat expert' son. I forgot about his wife and let's just say it wasn't going to happen.

The launch was purchased directly from the Navy by her former owner (retired Navy) and trucked to the boat yard where he had been working on her cabin until diabetes forced him to sell. The engine is a single screw DD671. I know anyone interested will have lots of questions so can refer you to original owner or arrange for you to see the boat where she is stored in Oceanside. Cal Western was going to truck it for me for ~3k so I can reduce price if you're thinking of the same.
I paid $9500 but as mentioned above will reduce. (Since I have never used the forum any tips on how to advertise and sell greatly appreciated)

You have nice pictures, a description of what is going on, and a starting price. Sounds to me as if you did just fine. People will ask more questions as they arise. Sounds like a fine TLC project for someone.
 
Boy, for the right person, this could be quite a deal. I definitely see the vision that you saw when you bought it. That boat all gussied up would be stunning!!!
 
More of them in better shape should be along soon. My son is on a carrier and says the Admiral never boats he flies in a Helicopter.
 
Yep, that could be a really cool boat.:thumb:
 
what material is the hull? Aluminum? do you have more details on the cabins, head, electronics?
 
+1 ...and more cabin pics? ER pics? Looks like a very interesting boat to own.
 
what material is the hull?

Since money was no problem all the USN boats are well built with FR - Fire Retarding resin.

Only a penny or two a pound more than std hi burn std resin , but new boat owners never ask , they just look at the woodwork.
 
Looks like one of the Uniflite boats, if so it is bullet proof!, with some of the best hardware you will ever see.
