• 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: 1986 Marine Trader 36' Sundeck.

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

Heritage East 44 / Twin Perkins T6.3544
401-albums398-picture2188.html

Bottom painted 2015. The engine recently had $11K work done to the crankshaft, bearings, head gasket, exhaust gaskets, and harmonic balancer. Boat runs perfectly. Cruises at 7-7.5 knots.

Engine is a single Lehman 135 with a little over 5000 hours. It sips fuel. About 3mpg at 19.5K rpm, about 4mpg at 17.5K rpm. In the picture, it shows full curtains, but I replaced with a new bimini only in 2013. Similar boats size/vintage listing for $65K, but I need a bit of cosmetic work currently - scratches, hazing on the fiberglass, varnish, and some deck paint. Interior is beautiful. Price is $49K. Not urgent to sell, but we're not using her as much as we intended, I will let go very quickly if the offer is reasonable.

The boat is located in New Bern NC for showing. If you come through me, this will discount what I have with the current broker and pricing will be more flexible.

PM me if seriously interested.

I have been watching your boat. I purchased the same one about 6 weeks ago. I LOVE this boat. Everything about it! There are a few differences in yours than mine, but at the price you want? It will go fast! I have a mercedes engine in mine. That was the real difference along with a davit and full curtains.

Honestly? I can't believe your boat hasn't sold yet! Good luck! She is a beauty.
 
Those sundeck 36's are beauties.
If I were ever to cheat on Angelina, it would be with one of them.

It might be time to change brokers. We love the boat, but we have been slaves to family needs and there's minimal time to enjoy her. (I wish I could sell the family, live on the boat, and be more of a bum, but my Admiral tells me that would be very expensive on me. :hide:) I have several cosmetic items (deck paint, varnish, pilot house paint) I am working on. Most are external. This is the reason I suspect.

To be honest, I would rather sell my house. The boat is much more relaxing.

One of the selling reasons, is actually, if we got a Europa style this would be better with less stairs. We are not feeble, quite the opposite, but we like the straight in Europa style for comfort and our large dog (85 pounds) doesn't have to climb the 6 foot up the ladder from the swim platform... :)

But for now, I will continue to do 85-pound Labrador dead-lifts up a pitching ladder when fluffy wants to swim. :facepalm:

Yes, the pics look great on yachtworld! I've been trying to hold out on contacting him through there, because of this...

Send him a PM. That may trigger an email being sent to him as well.
 
Don't give up on this one lowcountry.

Marine Traders are nortorious for window leaks. Mine was. I knew that going into it. It was a much easier fix than I thought. I re-seated then myself! Just don't use 5200. It truly is a beautiful boat. I did not see this one in person only because the one I bought was in the city I live. BUT had I not bought "Southerly", I just may have bought this one.

No I don't know this person, just love my boat!
 
Ben - I have tried to PM you but it will not go through. Please contact me. Thank you

Hey Gary, others have said that it is listed on Yachtworld. I would suggest a search on there for this boat and then deal with the broker.
