• 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.

We are putting our R-27 on the market after 2 seasons. We have thoroughly enjoyed the boat, but are looking to move up in size to become liveaboards.

The Tug is the 8th to last made R-27 Classic and is a Blue Hull Luxury Edition. It includes the generator and reverse cycle heat/air con.

Too many upgrades to mention, but here are the highlights -

Loadrite Dual Axle Trailer
FLIR MD-625 Thermal Camera on Mast integrated with Garmin MFD
Navy Bimini Top for Cockpit
Dual Voltage (12v and 120v) NovaKool Fridge
Second 160w Solar Panel (21 amp on a sunny East Coast day)
Weaver Davits and stand-offs
Teak Towel, Dish, and Cup organizer in Galley
All lights converted to LED
New Contemporary Cabin Lights
Racor Vent Fuel/Air seperator
Fuel vent whistle to easily hear when tank is almost full
ECO holding tank vent filter
Accumulator tank for smooth running water out of the faucets
All electrical outlets plates changed to stainless steel
Magnetic screen door to keep the cabin bug free
Vinyl inserts for top roof hatches to keep the sun out, and cabin cool
Grote stainless side mirrors to easily see behind while underway, or while docking
Butcher Block insert for propane range to increase counter space when not in use
Various spare engine parts
4 years of remaining extended warranty from Volvo

Over $20k in upgrades.

Your R-27

I'm going to buy an Ranger Tugs R-27, or a Rosborough RF-246 immediately!!!

Please call me to discuss yours! It will be a very quick CASH deal. Closing in a couple days, if I can get a Survey quickly. I'll close within hours of the survey, if satisfactory.
