    • 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:

  • 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.

Asking $469k.* It's the only 1990 Vantare for sale on the west coast, and is a perfect vessel for coastal cruising, especially up in the San Juans.* They're quite popular up in the PNW.

It's being handled by a very reputable broker, and the YW listing (along with all equipment) can be found here.* The vessel is held in an LLC, and the right deal can include the LLC.

Drop me a PM if you wish to discuss details.

Chuck
 
Good luck, Chuck!!!! Hope you are moving on to better things!!!!
 
Thanks John... we're trying.* The wife is doing well, and we have a couple of irons in the fire.* We're just hoping one (or more) will soon pop.* The unfortunate thing is I've had to initiate legal proceedings to collect the last 120 days of receivables my client owed me (over $1mm).* That has put a huge dent in my working capital after paying out over a dozen severance packages, taxes, COBRA, legal fees, etc.

So... nobody in this forum wants to buy my boat?* Come on... make me an offer I can't refuse

Chuck,

Nobody "wants" to buy your boat? *Believe me, you've got people drooling all over their collective keyboards. Great shots of your little ship.


KMA's a beautiful, really beautiful boat, and the care you've given her is very evident. *Best of luck with the sale, and really glad to hear the wife's doing well. * That's really what's important anyway.

Hey Chuck are you moving to another boat if and when you sell, or what? What other boat could you go to after this one, it's a pretty hard act to follow. Makes my house seem cramped and a bit tacky, let alone my boat.
 
All,

We're probably going to fire sale the boat at the Newport Boat Show in April.* My CPA is working out the short sale details with the bank as I write this.* I'm willing to bet somebody can steal it for under $400k.* Of course, for that price, it's "as-is, where is".

As far as a replacement goes, it all depends if we can collect on the big receivable.* Right now, I'm look at something like this.* They're asking way too much money, and I can't afford it now... but I can still dream.
 
Just get ya a Defever 49 PH if you like that one. I know they are not steel but other than that, very similar boats.
 
And if you like that, you may like this one too http://tinyurl.com/yj9am3r

I think this is a boat I specifically went to see at Solomon's TrawlerFest a few years back.* I lusted after it but wasn't really in the market for something like this just yet.* Then I saw it sold and was transported to the PNW to be put in charter service.

Looks like the price went up substantially, almost double.* Or, I may be confusing this with another vessel entirely.* So many nice boats, so little time or $.

Price reduced to $429k. All reasonable offers considered.
 
Still got it. Asking price dropped to $399k, but can be had for considerably less. This thing goes back to the bank in 45-60 days, so don't wait too long.
 
Chuck,

Although I'm happy for you and the sale, I'm really sorry to see the boat go. Talk about a beautiful yacht....WOW!


Hopefully you'll still be on this site and another vessel will be in your slip eventually. I know with the new business you'll be preoccupied, but once you get salt water in your blood........!


Congrats again!

Mike,

The saying about the 2 happiest days in a man's life is true.* It's a relief to be out from under it... at least financially.* Now I get to negotiate the back end of the short sale with the bank.* I'm not looking forward to that

I'll still hang around the site.* I don't make friends easily, and I consider all of you my friends.* You all put up with my BS, and aren't afraid to call me on it.

Is there another boat in my future?* Probably not.* We've migrated inland, and I've been eyeballing small land yachts for hauling the grandbaby cross country to show her this great land of ours while it's still here to see.* I can't wait to see her face the first time she sees the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone, to name but a few places that are on the future agenda.

Life is still an adventure, even off the water.
