• 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.

I'm in Bellingham, WA and looking for a 25-30' pilothouse boat. Maybe trailerable (Nimble Nomad, etc.) or maybe another Willard 30 (had an 8 ton sail I liked a lot). Just sold my Albin 25 and Sundowner 30 tug and my Ed Monk Comfort 38 is on the market. https://bellingham.craigslist.org/boa/6102408099.html
As you can see it was formerly a motorsailer. Wouldn't mind doing that again with something smaller like a Fisher 25 or 30, or similar, or maybe removing the flying bridge on a Willard 30 to make it more to my liking. Anyway, if anyone knows of anything, please leave a message. Thanks. Clive
 
Your current boat looks quite comfortable.
Why downsize to 30'?
 
Taking the FB off of a 32' Grand Banks makes for a nice comfy boat. Come out to Gate 3 this weekend and you can take a look. Send me a PM and we can swap contact info.

Comfort 38

Well, This is the nicest boat I've ever had, and there have been several that ended up nice. But I've done about everything to this I intend to do so I need a new project. Plus I really do prefer slightly smaller boats. Hopefully I can find something trailerable I can work on in the backyard at my leisure (if I had any leisure). (Sometimes I think I need to go back to work so I'll have some free time.) Not paying dock rent would be also be nice. But if I didn't spend a few hundred a month on dock rent, I'd probably just throw it away on food and shelter. Anyway, I just started advertising this last week. Hopefully it won't take too long. I'm ready to get started on the next one which I'd like to keep. C
 
I just purchased Acadia 25 from Atlas boatworks in Cape Coral, FL. Although it didn't have a trailer They were designed to be trailerable and I have bought a trailer for the boat. It is also in the process of being Documented. I heard a couple of weeks ago that Tom was going to have another used one for sales soon. You might contact him as see what he has.

Although we haven't used the boat yet, work is still getting in the way, my wife and I are looking forward to doing some cruising on the east coast before trailering the boat to AZ. where we will keep the boat. We plan to cruise a number of places that are inland, lakes, and a trailer boat just seemed right to us. Good Luck
