• 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

Agree with you about the rails and flybridge removal. I like the flybridge on this boat.

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

As one who has stood at the helm of Marks boat I can vouch for its fantastic sight lines. Far superior to the sight lines on my boat.

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.....

Here's an example of what Tad is speaking about, just to show the effect of window order size and shape. Windows are reworked, radius corners, and the terrible aft. cabin ports are cleaned up also. I added the more subtle grey accents after seeing the effects on a Willard 40, purely personal preference. It may not be viewed as "better", but it sure is different.

Great feeble attempt, by the way, Craig.

And I finally noticed you cleaned up the railings and changed the color scheme to gray.

Flybridge looks great also IMO with the sides extended. I actually have a boat building buddy who can do that kind of thing.

The rounded and larger windows make a huge difference, but how hard would that be to do in the real world ?

Taking a look at the work cardude and Craig (CPsuedonym) demonstrated in the examples above, the effects of the changes are evident, and make the point perfectly. If you're really getting into the detail, maybe Photoshop is the way to go, but I love to see the visual interchange of ideas this way. If we don't have an eye along with an idea, Photoshop won't save us.
 
Nice job Larry, you really improved the looks.
 
Looks good Larry.

I think the excessive railings and the scruffy looking FB w it's face that dosn't match the front end of the wheelhouse did most of the re-style.

Actually if you look closely at the railings amidships you can see that the railings are actually stanchions and life lines like on Willy.

Good looking boat. It's a good thing I don't have two foot idus (sp?)
