Try a WANTED advertisement in FL Mariner , and on Craig's list.

For my money the Gulftub trawler advertised on this board is about as good as it gets , and you will save the $25,000 and 2 -3 years of serious work you would spend on a "fixup".

Thanks Fred for the call out. Our boat is currently lying in Nettles Island Marina, near Jensen Beach Florida and is still for sale. I will entertain all offers. I just detailed the engine room, it really is a very clean and reliable boat for the money. I've been surprised at the almost total lack of interest.

I'll post some new pics and bring the ad back to the top.
