    • 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.

  • 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 have my 1988 33 Cape Dory Poweryacht for sale. The boat is in very good condition with numerous upgrades over the years. Original Volvo Tamd41a diesels with less than 1,000hrs on them. Boat cruises at 12-13kts at 3,000rpm burning under 10gal/hr combined. Mase 2000 generator with approximately 200hrs, also flexible solar panel is sewn into Bimini top. 12,000btu marine air A/C unit. Propane stove and oven. Raymarine C120 chartplotter and radar.
This boat has a lot of room for its size. The separate stall shower is bigger than ones I’ve seen in 40+ boats.
This boat is a great boat and has served me very well. Only reason for selling is that I’ve outgrown it and am moving up. Time for someone else to enjoy it as much as I have. More details and pictures can be found on yachtworld with Curtis Stokes. Asking $69,500
Feel free to PM me for more details and information. IMG_4047.jpgkj
 
Great boats and well made....Avoiding all the issues from '80's Taiwanese trawlers of the same vintage. We love our '88 28....I'd buy another in a heartbeat if I was in the market..
 
Is this the same company that makes the Cape Dory sailboats? Had a Cape Dory Typhoon. Very high quality construction.
 
Pretty boat. You should probably post a lot more photos.

Yes.....They ventured into PowerBoats in the Mid 80's. Same great construction.. Not many of the trawler types ever built. 220 or so of the 28's in 3 configurations and lesser numbers for the 30, 33, 36 models in the sedan style....By the early 90's they were out of business. A victim, like many , of the economy... The quality and universality of the parts used means I can still buy OEM spec'd parts for my '88. The Volvo engine is another story with somewhat pricey and hard to find parts...Not that I've needed them as the TAMD-41P has been very reliable, essentially needing nothing since the 2002 re-power and 1750 hours..

These are great boats of excellent quality. I have been very happy with my Volvo Diesels. When I bought the boat in 2007 I rebuilt all the fuel injectors and upgraded the air cooler housings. Since then these engines have not cost me any money other than routine maintenance. I would happily purchase another boat with Volvo’s.

Cape Dory’s are excellent quality boats. The Volvo Diesels have treated me very well in the 10 years I’ve owned the boat. When I purchased the boat I rebuilt all the injectors and upgraded the air coolers to the newer style housing. After that all I have ever had to do is regular scheduled maintenance. I too was a little afraid of the Volvo’s initially because like most people on here say parts are expensive, yet when the original parts don’t break the cost of parts hasn’t been an issue for me since I haven’t needed any. I would not hesitate to purchase another boat with well maintained Volvo’s.
Below is a link to the full details and photos of my Cape Dory.

I haven’t done any long cruising at slower speeds to give you a 100% accurate answer. I always guesstimated it to be around 5gal/hr at 2,000 rpm and around 7kts.
 
Cape Dory (yes same builder) also built 5 commercial fishing draggers. The first one, "Dory One" was well known around Rockport Mass and Mass Bay. Its still fishing as I understand,under a different name.
