• 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.

  • 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.

That's what I had before the Willard. Just about the best darn boat ever built. Mine wasn't heavy in the stern though.


Spy there's a Willard Searcher also on Used Victoria.

Nice boats. We looked at one before deciding it was too small for us. We may reconsider in the future once the kids leave the nest. Ideal pocket trawlers for a couple IMO.
 
Swedish built Albin owners don't even know what a blister is.
 
They are a small boat ... only 4000lbs disp and they could just have a lot of "stuff" in the aft cabin. We stored food, drinking water and lots of other stuff back there when we were cruising. With a small light boat the effect of ballast is huge. But if the guy put permanent water tanks and batteries in the aft cabin ...................
 
Breadbasket Update

It's been a few months since Breadbasket arrived at Thieves Bay - Pender Island - B.C......... I've been busy cleaning her up going through the systems ..... runs like a diesel should although a little noisy .... Put her up on the Grid last week and replaced the prop(30x19) with a 28x23 in perfect condition ..... Search for a month or so with the assistance of our Forum consultants(thnx. Eric!!!!!) ..... checked out Craig's List Seattle et voila there it was ..... located in Pt. Townsend the PO delivered to Pt. Angeles ... I took the Coho over from Victoria exchanged $$ for Prop and travelled back to Pender the same day .... total cost including ferries $425 ...... a seamless re. & re .. I'm happy.... Installed a new VHF and Chartplotter ---- the radar even works!!!! I've been having loads of fun ....... a couple of short Cruises ..... perfect ... I've been studying Mellor's Boat Handling Under Power ......... Not quite ready for a close quarters tight slip docking in a wind storm -- a steep learning curve .... I saw the Albin(it's most likely sold) .... nearly bought one BUT I'm happy with my boat (9000 lbs .. doesn't matter how she's loaded !!!!!! ) stay dry!! john
 
A friend here is in process of closing on a similar Albin 25. I haven't seen the boat, but I'd hope they found a better solution for locating that holding tank.:eek:

Lucy 11,
Great to hear from you .... I was beginning to think you'd dropped off the ... .

Glad you got a good prop. I was thinking about you looking in the basement at the 2nd hand marine equipment store in Bellingham. Lots of props down there. They even have 2 used XYZ anchors. Don't advise the model they have though.

Nice to have you back and I hope you post more often now.


ARoss,
Almost can't go wrong w those Albin's. We had just a Porta Pottie on ours. Camp cruising to be sure. Some day I think I'll go back to an OB about that size. Can't find the perfect design so I may need to put my old NA hat back on.
