• 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.

Brooksie,
Is that (19 ton) the usual displacement?

I'm going to take back my thinking that 55hp would be plenty for the W36 ... maybe 65.

The Grey is 80 right?

No, I don't think so. 24000 lbs is the brochure weight so 13 regular tons seems enough. The Grey is 50 @ 2000. I'm very happy with my 50hp only use 13-14 at cruise.

OK good,
my first knee jerk must have been ok. I thought 55hp should be enough.

I saw 36s for the first time at the rondy and supposed it would be fun to walk around on the foredeck of the PH and I was correct. Loved it. I thought the wheelhouse was too high but the boat I was on has active stabilizers and of course he said it was no problem. Now if I can only find a sedan w a raised wheelhouse and a walk around engine room ........

14hp?? I think I'm using close to 20 on our W30.

By cruise I mean where I run for maximum mileage 1 or 1.1 S/L 10hp & 14hp prop load repectively. With a more efficient engine this could be less than the 1GPH that I now burn.
 
Very nice boat.

And Eric, that is likely GROSS TONNAGE that is stated. Gross tonnage is a measure of volume more than anything and really has nothing to do with the actual weight of the boat. It is usually on the certificate of documentation and likely what the seller used in the ad.

<<So GT is a kind of capacity-derived index that is used to rank a ship for purposes of determining manning, safety and other statutory requirements and is expressed simply as GT, which is a unitless entity, even though its derivation is tied to the cubic meter unit of volumetric capacity.>>

Everything you wanted to know about tonnage:
Tonnage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 
Thanks much John.

That fits this boat. They are VERY full in the bow and stern and I believe amidships too. Sort of a mini-freighter/yacht hull. For a 36' boat you could put lots of weight on board and hardly notice it. I like the basic hull design better than the W30. Unlike the 30 and 40' Willard's the 36 is designed by William Gardner. That's about as good as design gets.

Remember this picture? They are like a little ship. And when meeting a sea they will rise to the occasion. One can see the "gross volume" is large indeed.

And I like the "tumble home" of the FB.

Has anyone looked at this ol' feller in person? thoughts on the value? The stern look to be europish, yes?
 
Just spoke with them, it's sold, 35K.
 
Dang....I missed this on my radar? I would really have liked to see this boat and apparently it was nearby. She looks beautiful, and is that an inward leaning FB I see? Eric...you must be swooning.
