• 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.

  • 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.

I'm an idiot John but at least I admit it! Back from 2004-2007 I had more money rolling in than brains. If I knew what I know now I would have never spent that kind of money on a large gasser.

Education can be pretty expensive.* Here's some for free--1) If you want the lowest operating and maintenance expenses get a single engine boat.2) Don't limit yourself to one make if you are considering a trawler.3) Keep your boat simple, add equipment over time.

Enough said,* JohnP

I know how I want it outfitted. I would like a pair of small twins over a single for get home reasons.
Although I am taking your advice 2 engines= 2 transmissions = 2 coolers = 2 shafts = double the maintenence.
I do like the layout of the Californian 34. I have been in many Marine Traders (older models) their soft decks (because of the teak bedding), windows leaking*and wiring scares me.

Bill,* One example is the Monk 36, I think they came without teak decks*with* 1 or 2 engines.

******* Albin made some 34 foot fast trawlers in* the 80s--no teck decks and a 12 knot cruise.

******* There are others that had their teak decks removed and non skid installed professionally in many makes.

******** Leaking windows can happen to any boat and can be fixed if caught early.
********
******** Get home engines are nice for Ocean Passages otherwise SeaTow works!
*********Never needed them myself, but I have BoatU.S. unlimited towing--I never used
******** either.

It sounds like you know what you want, so I wish you luck and all the best!

*Psssst Billy....single engine, and SeaTow or Towboat for the "get home"...150 bucks a year is pretty darn cheap....and leaves alot of spare space in the engine room...

sorry..had to put my 2 cents in...

Welcome to the FORUM!!!* :)
 
I have both US Boats and SeaTow service on my twin engine gasser already.

If you want to upgrade come look at my Boat in Little Egg John. I would almost swap you even.

Jeebus....how many boats are for sale in this thread??????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i will stick to my little 32, burning 1.3 gal/hr at 6.5 knots
 
Exactly why I want to get rid of my 40 Sedan Bridge gasser. I am only using it as an example with John.

Bill
 
My boat could be for sale at the right price but it'd have to be REALLY right. Every time I look at other boats now I think of our little monk and then even 5 GPH sounds like a lot of fuel burn to me!! :) 1.5GPH suites me just fine, even if I am a slow poke and turtles pass me by!
