• 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.

If anyone on here buys this, let me know. I have the same boat, one year older, same engines. Not too many of them out there, so knowing other Prairie 36 owners would be a good thing.
 
ok, i will post when sold. do you have any fuel flow data? i am asked about it but haven't been able to find.
 
Funny you should ask. The gauges are useless. I've been building up some data by sticking the tanks before and after each run, but so far the only long-range trip has been the delivery run. That skewed the figures because (1) the weather was snotty most of the way, (2) I ran way above an economical cruise most of the time, and (3) the PO lied to me about the tanks being full when I bought it.

I've seen it better than 4 NMPG and 1.1 GPH, and I've seen it as bad as 1.4 NMPG and 6.5 GPH (that was running at 10-11 knots into heavy seas.) I believe if I keep it around 7.5 knots I'll be somewhere near that 4 NMPG figure, but I haven't been on a long enough leg at that speed to prove it yet. Floscans are on my wish list.
 
PM Sent - I hope! still new to forum and control panel - let me know if not received

There was one that was sold by Oriental Yacht Brokers last year. I admired that boat for a long time. I imagine the owner is somewhere on the east coast. Nice looking boat. Compact twin engines. I believe those were also Perkins on her.
 
KneeDeep, I'm not sure if you wanted info and pic's of the 36 Prairie trawler but if so send me a PM with your email address.
Capt Tom, I think I got better than 4 mpg but using 1 engine underway with mid-throttle setting at about 7 knots.

Thanks for the info. One more question: Do you have Borg Warner velvet drives? I've heard conflicting reports about running on one engine with this transmission. Or do you lock the shaft of the non-running engine?
 
Velvet drive has changed and said it is O.K.
Theirs a lot of sail boats running around with no problems that use Velvet Drives.

the book i have says ok to free wheel if lube levels kept at proper level

If this boat looks anything like your boat it is a grat deal for a good looking boat.
 
Could I please get pictures and further details? We are looking for a trawler and this one sounds like it might be appropriate.

Thanks,
Ray

Hi Stray cat,
I guess you are looking to move up to a prairie 36, if so,
would you be thinking of selling your prairie 29?
I have long admired these little trawlers and would be very
interested if you decide to sell!
Best Regards,

Larry (nosalt)
