• 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.

  • 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.

Free: The price is right!

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

After much effort and commitment I have ultimately missed my repair deadline on the 3rd to float our 8 year old WM RIB 340. She has a couple of small leaks. But will hold air indefinitely on the port tube. The bottom is prepped and ready for fairing and then new gel coat needs to be applied. The new one arrives tomorrow and the Admiral says make this one disappear. I can load her on your trailer and have the title as well. I'm gonna remove the transom Weaver bracket. First one here gets her for free.

That is a great deal! Which I was closer and had about 24 more posts...wait, does this one count? If so, 23 more posts... ;)
 
Thanks Tuesday. We purchased it new and I installed a weaver snap system only to find the wife and I couldn't lift it as planned. Thus leaving it in the water started and I painted the bottom. Naturally after a few years barnacles took over- so I bought a new trailer and brought her home. Removed all the barnacles on gel coat and on Hypalon (Can you say needle scaler?) and was ready with West System/ White Gel coat.
She has 17" tubes and we had a 3.5 4 stroke to push her. I'm getting a RIB 350 so will use trailer and motor. New cover ordered too. These big guys are nice to have- but expensive!
Comes with seat, repair kit, pump, and one oar.

So, the more you post on TF, the more chances you have of getting free stuff. I like that!
 
Is there a sliding scale? Like the more you post, the better the free stuff gets?
 
This is a great thing for the right guy. Initially I thought I would list it on Craigslist for $500, and will do that Monday if no hits. I would prefer it was given to someone here that could really use it....
Tell ya what- if no home found by Saturday morning, I will REDUCE the participation to Only 5 POSTS.

Greetings,
WHAT? Only 5 posts? I don't think you can even post pictures with only 5 posts...IF no-one scoops it up, what about donating it and getting a tax write-off?
 
Holly Water Boat Batman!! From Montana, all I can do is run up & down the bank of the Headwaters of the Missouri, and shout "Ain't That Cheep!"

Forklift great idea this is how I will get rid of mine in the future
 
Glad it found a good home. That makes 9 posts, so I'm getting ready for next time! :dance:
 
That sounds as though wifie had ya leave it on road side. A little mo info - Please! :dance:


No No! It went to one of our members. And he had past experience working with Hypalon on dinks. So a double plus.
Picked up my new dink today...ImageUploadedByTrawler Forum1435892244.916122.jpg

I was the lucky recipient of Steve's old RIB. It is much appreciated and has found a good home/workshop. I hope restoration goes smoothly and quickly!

Many Thanks,

Phil
 
Good for you Phil. Were you still in Gulfport or was it an extra trip? I keep looking across at your empty slip in anticipation.....
 
Tiz simply great how the boating community (in TF as well as other forums and marinas too) pulls together and gives or sells at rock bottom prices items still good but no longer needed by original owner. :thumb:
 
Steve, I missed out while waiting for you to say, "come on down".:banghead::D
 
Blue,
We are home from Gulf Shores, I made the drive yesterday from Beaumont. My boat is still land locked... All left is mounting a pod to hold the new GPS. The old electronics box was mm's too small in width to accommodate the new Garmin and VHF. Brackets will be in next week and we should be done.

Don I thought you would be on this quick:). Phil pulled my Weaver Arc receiver off for me and the plan is to measure out and order the front arc like you have. This may be pretty quick- as I found out today that I can't leave the dink/trailer at the marina unless it's attached to a vehicle. That may mean having to haul the rig home everytime we go home.

Time to call Jason.

Obviously not. If that was true I'd have gotten a free Fleming by now instead of continuing to slog around our home waters in a sorry-ass old GB. When we were out the other weekend we were passed by a glacier.........

So here is the new ride (WM Hypalon RIB 350). A shout out to David at West Marine in Slidell for getting it in 2 days. Is it comparable to the WM340 RIB (Avon) I had before? Mostly no. The old 340 had thicker Hypalon ((I believe)), it had beefier hold rope anchors and a taller beefier transom- requiring a long shaft outboard. But.... This new white rib is very clean and polished. It has a stronger fg seat, a stronger non skid floor, an impressive oar lock system and I actually got it on plane with just me (230 #'s) and a four stroke 3.5 hp outboard.
I got my past RIB on a "Get it outa here" bargain of two boat bills- so don't know what list was.
This boat, $3599 I think list, is a great value IMO. I also ordered a cover with the boat, and have a trailer to store it on till I can afford the front Weaver arc :).

Glad I missed that deal! Wife's alread mad at the collection of skiffs, dinks and run a bouts I've collected over the years. Steve I'm still parked up the river if the wind starts blowing your more than welcome to weather up here.
 
Thanks Paul- good to hear from you. I'm about to start a post about anchors. I know- I know. Parks says we are a little too quick to judge each other on our anchor choices. We were at West Ship late yesterday afternoon and my Delta drug a 1/4 mile when the blow hit. Up to 60 mph was the warning and we may have hit that.
Watch for the post :)!
