• 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: 1984 30 foot Atlantic Trawler (Moondance)

The friendliest place on the web for anyone who enjoys boating.

Exceptionally well maintained. Must be seen to be appreciated. You will not believe how much room and storage there is. Check it out on Yachtworld or at Niemiec Marine in New Bedford, MA.
 
If you're interested in selling your boat and have gone to the effort of starting a thread here, for goodness sake, post a picture and a link to the listing! Most of us will look at a pic and click on a link. If you can't be bothered to do that, then I'm not going to make the effort to find it, look at it, and possibly tell a friend.

I'm sorry, but I could not figure out how to post the link.
Thank you Royal Mountie for linking it.
 
It is my pleasure. Karen.

Trawler forum can be a very enjoyable experience if approached with the right attitude, behaviour, and knowledge. Members are there to cooperate and share their experiences.

Kindest regards, Normand

May be this could help, Daveo went to visit this nice boat in 2015, I trust he would have mention it, if the vessel did not have an engine room. As you did thank him for his review on 07-06-2015, 07:16 PM

I went to see this boat earlier this week and was quite impressed. After looking at a bunch of boats I have concluded that I really need a little more space but this boat offers a lot in a small package and appears to have been really well taken care of.

Please give this lady a break. Would you like others to talk to your wives like that?

Of course it has an engine. A very good one in fact--a Volvo diesel, which has been expertly maintained. All of the information and equipment is described in the listing.

I believe RT was commenting on a lack of engine room pictures (I haven't looked at the listing). For many people, engine room condition is an indicator of how well a boat has been taken care of. Lack of those pictures can either be an over site on the listing agent or a lack of maintenance by the owner. RT has used that expression many times before when commenting on a lack of ER pics in listings.

I'm sure RT meant no disrespect to your wife; he is a very respectful person.

I am the wife! Not tech savy, but have enjoyed boating for 40+ years!

Thanks for noting the listing agents omission of engine room photos. I will be sure to ask him to include some. I will tell you that the engine room is very clean, easily accessed, and very roomy. All of her systems run well and maintenance has been thoroughly and routinely completed. She is a great boat and is not in need of any repairs.

The only reason we are selling her is because we needed and bought a larger boat. Wish our new boat had as large of an engine room and as much storage as this boat does!

Sorry for getting this thread off track in post #2. Hope your boat sells quickly!

In/on a 30' boat engine "compartment" would be a much better word for the space where the engine resides. I would'nt call it a room unless one can stand up and walk around. "Room" sounds more like house talk. How many rooms are in your boat? People need to be around boats awhile (most not long) before they stop talk'in about bedrooms and the bathroom.

I'm supprised at you RT. First you lambast the person for not posting pics and then this engine "room" thing.

The OP only shows 14 posts and likely there won't be many more.

Quite right Eric, definitely not a room, but, like the rest of the boat, surprisingly roomy. I was particularly impressed by the thruster installation. Looked first class, to me at least. If I could have fit my plans into one cabin and one head I might have bought this boat and I'd be a whole lot wealthier today!
