• 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.

For Sale: Love the lines of this

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

One of my favorite boats, though the design is a bit nicer than the finished result.

My client, a poster here on the boards, is showing her at Trawler Fest this weekend in Baltimore. I think she is very well executed although I would re-install the forward mast and add a big furling genny.

Yes, it needs the jib to balance the rig.

Is your client Humphrey Bogart's ghost? The torpedo tube looks exactly like the African Queen's as she attacked the Lake Victoria German Navy.
 
Nice boat , but not thrilled with the huge picket fence on the bow.

Somebody along the way doubled up the railing. I would remove the second tier also.

That's really funny!! A little Hemingway as well as under the canvas of the flybridge is a framework much like Pilar had.
 
Hey, the first pic looks like my neck of the woods! Can't quite see the Natty Boh sign. And that boat looks might familiar too. Hasn't she been for sale forever? Very nice lines ... and not too much railing for me.
 
Man if I was a single dude and was ready to do some serious cruising I would buy that boat in a heartbeat.

Alas, I'm a married dude (happily!) with high school age kids who wants to do some cruising, but just can't pull the trigger on a boat yet.

Re the "picket fence" (as FF put it) I agree the visibility would be poor. My Willard has quite good visibility but my friend Ed out of Craig AK has even better. The 65lb Forfjord anchor goes through the bow and is entirely below the cap rail. All the railings are gone and there is nothing else.
Of interest it can also be seen that he fiber glassed his cap rails so no teak to keep up there either.
Ed lives on a remote island and uses his Willard to go to town ... about once a month.

I actually feel the same way-- the hull looks good but the pilothouse looks odd to me. Would it look better without the tall Bimini on the flybridge? Is the pilothoiluse just too short? Does it need some forward raked windows? Lol.

Maybe Healhustler can do some photoshop magic to make it look better and give me some ideas. I want to talk my DW into this boat but she thinks it's too awkward looking in its current state.

The windows in the pilothouse just need to be re-done. Some famous designer once said the windows/ports are the eyes of the ship, if they're wrong the whole thing looks off.....

Then sort out the details, get that dinghy down where it belongs, fix the handrails and bridge top, probably revise the paint scheme.
 
Mark hasn't noticed the flying bridge yet.

Hmmm ... the "eyes of the ship" are the hawsepipes, at least on modern ships of the past couple hundred years.

Sailors have been painting eyes on the bows of ships since triremes ruled the waves.

Eyes on boats, before electronics how else could they see to find fish or get through a fog?

Apparently you've never watched Theodore Tugboat.

Does this look better?

My photoshop skills suck, but squint at it to get the general idea....

Yes.

Now take the rest of the rails off, that FB (or make the face of it vertical) The bow pulpit and all that stick stuff sticking up and you'd have a very good looking boat.

And for those that just can't do w/o rails just paint them black.

Like this? I'm not good enough to make the rails black and it would take a while to delete them...

That rail-less boat scares me. I want to feel/be secure when I'm out on the deck.

Nice work, Cardude. Keep up the practice. Working with what you've already done, I moved the Pilothouse windshield a bit farther forward and put another window next to the helm, following your suggestion that the house may be too short. I'm not sure about that fly-bridge, but here it is stretched the same amount as the house below and with a restyled skirt. As Tad suggests, a window change would probably help a lot.

Looks like it was not such a good idea.

The cabin looks way too small for the boat.

And how would the guy see where he was going?

Mark's boat could use a cleanup too. But it's so perfect otherwise ......
