    • 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.

Good god. I hope my wife doesn't catch me looking at this. I love it, right up my alley, just wrong side of the country.Larry
 
Nice, really nice. The boat's nice too.
 
These are very very good boats and they are not uncommon here in Puget Sound. I know of an excellent surveyor that knows wood boats intimately and the Monks especially. Lynn Reister. She was featured in PMM some time ago.

These are wonderful boats but I speak of the design and the condition is very independent of the design. Many to most on this forum are on the "nix on wood boats" wagon simply because others say so. I would buy a well surveyed wood boat more readily and comfortably than a typical FG boat but cabin and deck maintenance definitely is more intensive. Most people in our culture think changing oil is an unacceptable burden and for scope consider that when I was a young man everybody did wood boat maintenance and for the most part got along well w it.

If moorage was cheaper I'd probably sell my Willard and buy this boat. It looks like the build standards were as high as the design standards in this example.
 
That would be a deal if it surveys well. Nice video. One of my dream boats at 1:37, a Hans Christian 44 pilothouse! Frances Bay, Pendrell Sound and Heriot Bay are in my backyard.
 
Ed Monk Sr. and Jr. design real nice boats! That is a nice boat. Notice similarity to my avatar... Monks were the leading designers for nearly all Tollycraft. Wood or fiberglass! :thumb:
