• 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.

What size? What minimal equipment? What price range? Inquiring minds want to know

Are you willing to wait twenty years until we are finished with ours?
 
Length? Price point?
 
The sky is the limit if money is not an issue. Contact a broker...they should be willing to help. If you are looking for help from this crowd, you are gonna have to be a bit more specific in what you are looking for.
 
Our boat was just put on the market after having her all spiffed up. This week is the first time that she's being shown and there are already some prospects coming. She could be put into the water and driven to the Bahamas - she's perfectly ready to cruise anywhere. She's a DeFever RPH 53 (raised pilothouse). We've been the only owners and have had her for 13 wonderful years.

Sorry
Should have been more specific.
38-48 feet
Prefer single engine but two can work
Prefer full displacement with stabilizers
Price to $325,000

How does a boat create a bow wave and a wake, all the while being at anchor in smooth water???

Plenty to check out on Yachtworld!!
Will at least help you to better define your need.
All boats had better be "seaworthy" even on a lake!!
Do you envisage ocean crossing?
 
We travel throughout the Bahamas so I need a boat that can handle that area. Krogen 40' nordhavn or something along those lines.
 
Looking for sale by owner. I've checked Yachtworld and there are a boats there that would work but haven't found the right one yet.
 
If you can deal with the trip south there is a decent Selene 47 in Rhode Island asking $325K
 
Have you seen the Selene. That would definitely work.
 
Used to see it from dock when we visited Newport area. Looked decent from the dock but have not been on board. We owned a similar Selene 47. This one looks relatively cheap at $325K. Price has been dropped significantly in last year. For reference, our Selene was one year older and sold for $400K 2 years ago.

Just curious if yours had a V-berth or an island queen??? As a boat shopper, that $325k is a great price but the big red flag that pops out at me is no "proper" berth in the entire boat.

The boring answer would be that it is anchored in lot of current but I would like to believe that it dropped its anchor on a whale or submarine and is being taken for a ride.

The even more boring answer (which is most likely) is Photoshop.
 
Auriga (Selene 47) had a very large (King-size) V-berth. Never found it to be an issue.
At suggestion of our broker we did actually get a quote for re-engineering into a "Pullman" double fore/aft berth with one side access for about $14K in Rhode Island but buyers were previously sailboaters and did not have an issue with the berth. Remember -"every boat is a compromise"!!!!
 
A Kadey Krogen 39 or 42 would be worth taking a look at, as well. There is a 1999 39 for sale in Florida (on the Kadey Krogen brokerage website) and numerous 42s, of various age, also for sale on various websites.
Good luck.
 
That did that on the early Selene's. No island queen. Makes no sense!
But, I love the lines of the boat.
 
I've looked at the Krogen's. Had a contract on one but it didn't work out. The 39' won't work because I've been relegated to the guest stateroom. Snoring and getting up at 4:30am. The bride can't handle that!

If you find a great boat you can always replace the wife.. but the perfect boat is really hard to come by..

If you can afford to upsize to the KK54, you get a dance pole in the forward cabin. DAMHIK
 
"We travel throughout the Bahamas so I need a boat that can handle that area. Krogen 40' nordhavn or something along those lines."

A 23ft Bayliner will do the job for the Bahamas.

The question then becomes how much volume you think you need for comfort.

And how complex the systems you are willing to maintain to have the lifestyle you desire.

Hi Chris,
That must have been a great broker :) Hope your well. You must miss her.
