• 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: 1985 40ft Heritage East for sale.

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

Best of luck on the sale. It would be hard to beat the space per dollar on those Herritage sun-deck models.
 
Ooops... You sent me a PM and I have forgotten to reply to it... SORRY. I will get back soon.

Good selling!
 
I have read and enjoyed your blogs over the past couple of years. I am just getting into cruising so would appreciate some input. Are you staying in cruising and moving up? Taking a break? Moving on to other things?
 
Woodsea,

Thanks for the kind words. My reasoning is that at the time of purchase I was planning on moving aboard because the 3000+ square foot house was simply too much.

My wife can't adapt to the sea legs required and medicine isn't fixing it.

Our compromise was a condo on the water and now that makes the trawler a redundancy as far as living on the water. I still have the desire to cruise the Bahamas and beyond but for now and with a son still at home, I will be content to downsize further. I intend to get a smaller boat and still be solar powered. I learned so much about the process, I am well positioned when the time comes to pursue it again.

Lovely boat. Tell you what Heron…if I lived in the US, I'd be saying' sold…to me…but sadly I'm not. I have always admired those as the mostest boat for the size you could get, yet still look right…if only…
That boat here in Aus would go for about $130 - 150k, even now…sorry…

Thanks. I agree. Lots of boat. She will make a fine vessel for the right captain and crew.
 
Congrats! Did it go OK?
 
Roger,
Yes. Boat was priced fairly, buyer is intelligent and educated and a former liveaboard. It was a win win and I represented the boat honestly.

Survey results later today.

It is bittersweet but she's going to a great couple who will use her more than we were.
 
Congrats and best of luck in your next season
 
Glad to announce she is sold. Her owner was excellent throughout.
