• 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.

Free: The price is right!

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

Glad I missed that deal! Wife's alread mad at the collection of skiffs, dinks and run a bouts I've collected over the years. Steve I'm still parked up the river if the wind starts blowing your more than welcome to weather up here.

Hey Paul, we've been missing you and the updates on Cajun Rose.
 
Well as some of you know I've started a new business. Pilings/Piers and Bulkheads. Getting set up took all the money I had and I had to sell my fishing boat and have been working lots of hours trying to get it off the ground. I should start working on her again this fall, business has been great, I just need to learn how to make a little more money than I am now. The Rose will be well on her way this fall and winter, I hope! Feels good to be trolling around here again and reading others adventures.

I didn't know that you had started up a new business. I wish you the best of luck with your new venture. I have watched you build Rose over the years so I know you have the skills for your new business.

Will you have employees or do most of the work yourself? I always enjoyed starting up new ventures, but sometimes employees can take much of the fun out of it as the business grows.

If you can figure out a way to keep it smaller and still make decent money, that could be an interesting and fun combination.
 
Best luck in your new business! Old adage from thems that know: If business is small (i.e. under 10 +/- employees)... tiz the biz owner with "tool belt" on often performing hands-on on-site work that makes best income.
 
Thanks guys! My business is small but growing. I've got 5 workers including myself. I was able to hire my brother to do all the carpenter stuff (piers, decks and boathouses) I keep myself busy installing pilings with my original guys that I've had for years. My brother was a contractor but his business shrunk to nothing so it was a relief for him to get a steady job. I've got about a 3 month backlog and every job has been great. Some harder than others but all have turned out great. Here is a link to my facebook page with some jobs on it. Thanks again!

Looking good Paul, long time no see. Stick around and update that thread you started for the Rose. I'm especially interested in seeing that original skiff you scored get back to her rightful place of honor.

To the forum,
To get on Paul's Facebook page with my iPhone using the old "app"- I hit the up button/opened in Safari/ then I was able to check out the cool work then Like his site. This was much easier than signing into FB within TF. (Hopefully I don't confuse anyone with my directions)
