• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines

    • 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:

    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)

    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.

  • 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.

Hello all from the former owners of the Prairie Trawler “Stray Cat”. We have moved to land once again and were fortunate to sell Stray Cat to someone that will love her and loved our updates as much as we have. Now we have our nearly new dingy and Honda Outboard who also need of new a owner. We have settled in Stuart, FL because we fell in love with this beautiful town.

History:
The dingy was new in November of 2015, Highfield 9'6” double aluminum hull , flat floor, with a built in bow/storage seat and regular “drivers's” seat, last used in June of 2016. Weighs 93 lbs, and it includes a never used cover and wet/dry bag and anchor. Always stored on davits. Less then 10 hours of run time.

Honda 5HP, 4 stroke outboard with 3 gallon fuel tank acquired in the spring of 2015. Again with less than 10 hours of run time. Honda was the chosen brand because I could start it ..have a bad back..
Asking $3000.00 for both.
Located in Stuart, FL

We can be contacted at bacchus42@mac.com or text 941 223 3665. Donna
 
Donna, would you sell dinghy and motor separately? I am not in the market but asking the question in case someone out there might want one or the other...especially since the boat could be considered underpowered and begging for a 15hp. Also pictures would help since Highfield is not as well known as other dinghy makers. I did google them and look like very nice boats!

Good luck with the sale!!!

PS...I used to own P29-55...the last one built. What a fantastic little boat!!!
 
How was the dinghy stored on the boat? Weaver brackets on swim platform?
Do you have those brackets or other system?

I own a Prairie 29 and am very very close (Vero Beach).
 
Our dingy was stored on custom substantial SS davits off the back of the boat. There may be a photo on our site..if not, I will try to post one. The dingy was level with the stern of the boat and so not to block the view off the stern. It is currently on the davits of a boat friend in Stuart. If you are interested in seeing it we would be happy to drop her and take a spin. There was a comment that the boat was under powered with a 5HP outboard, however the boat is not supposed to have more than 8hp because of its light weight. We still have the harness for hanging. This boat has sturdy built in hanging points. Send an email if you are interested. bacchus42@mac.com Thanks for your inquiry, Donna
 
Thanks for your question re: the power of the outboard. This boat only weighs 93 lbs and our engine was fine with her. The manufacturer recommends no more than 8 HP. The reason we purchased that boat was her weight, an aluminum bottom, double floor and a flat walking surface on the interior, and the ability to use a smaller engine. Neither of us was getting any younger did not wish to struggle with weight problems. The out board weighs 58+- lbs and for us, matched our abilities. Donna
 
Lightly used Ding and outboard

I would buy that package in a heartbeat if you were just a little closer!
 
Dingy

We would sell it to you in a heartbeat as well. RI was our old sailing grounds for many years. Lived in Warwick..husband had his office in Wickford...
 
Hi Donna, Is the dingy and motor still for sale?
 
We just bought the exact same boat, otherwise we would have jumped on this! I spent several weeks researching RIBs and Highfields are definitely highly rated and compared closely to ABs. New owners would be very lucky!
 
Dingy

Thanks all who inquired about our dingy and outboard. They have been sold and headed to a new home...and we hope that a little 4 year old boy will be happy with her.....and have many new adventures.
