• 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.

I stuck the price in the original post. VERY Nice boat and good luck with the sale!!!
 
Wow, what a great looking boat! As you can see I have this boat's older relative, the Prairie 36. We're getting a lot of ideas from your pictures. But $41K for awlgrip??? I'd love to do that but that's just not in the budget anytime soon.
 
Would not of been in my budget, but the previous owner seemed to have deep pockets, and left me the receipt. His loss and my gain! The awlgrip job did include removing all the deck hardware, windows, etc, and at yard labor cost today, I can almost understand the bill....
 
Sorry...I ask the forum moderator to put my price in the ad, as I had forgotten to do it myself. Unfortunately, he made the picture link go away in the process. I would edit the post myself, but it seems that ability goes away a few hours after the post is up. Try this link, and you should get the pictures.

Re-bedding all the deck hardware is on my list, too. Not sure if the rail stanchions bolt through or screw in. If they bolt through I can't see ANY way to reach the backs of them, so I'm a little afraid to find out. Anyway, having all that work already done is a huge plus, hope you get your asking price!
 
Burns 2.3 GPH at 7.5 knots. If you would like to PM me your email, I'll send you a PDF file with a very comprehensive listing for the boat.

Thanks,
Steve
 
Would you please send the additional info. Can't PM as we are newbies....wallyanddarcy@gmail.com

Thanks
Wally and Darcy
 
Anyone have an idea on cost to ship over land this size of vessel? It's very interesting looks really well taken care of and I love the pictures. We're moving to the west coast and would have to ship if this was a consideration. I'd like to keep boats like this on our radar but not if it's an arm or leg to ship. Otherwise I'll have to limit my search to the West region and be willing to pilot along the coast up to the Puget Sound.
 
Try looking on Yachtworld. I usually see links which can get you a quote from a boat transport companies. Also, just google Boat Transport, and you should get a few. My guess is 10k+, but that is just a WAG.

Probably a good WAG. At least $10k and likely close to 20!
 
congratulations!!!
