• 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.

Our soon-to-be-new-to-us boat comes with a dinghy so we're selling our existing one. This is a 2008 Rigid Sport Tender copy with center console steering. It looks like an inflatable but it's all fiberglass. The 2010 Mercury 15 hp, four stroke outboard has less than 200 hours on it and runs perfectly. This cute little boat easily planes with two medium-sized adults and comes with a popup bimini top, a VHF radio, a Garmin Striker 4 fishfinder with Chirp technology (new in 2018), fire extinguisher, and an electric bilge pump. The outboard motor has an alternator on it, which keeps the three year old battery charged up, and the six gallon fuel tank provides terrific range for all day touring around. Plus, the seat lifts up to expose tons of storage in the tubes.

Your new dinghy comes with a Karavan trailer with safety chains and a never-used spare tire mounted on the frame.

This boat and trailer are located in Lakeland, Florida (between Orlando and Tampa) and are ready to go. Asking $5,500.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

John

Nice tender!
What is the weight as rigged?

Good question. Forgot to include that. With a full tank of fuel, we figure it weighs about 550 lbs. Our 600 lb davit would pick it up with no problem.
 
You say "2008 Rigid Sport Tender copy" so who makes it? And you say storage in the "tubes", do you have pix? And can it handle 4 people?

Looks pretty nice. Anxious to hear the answers, and the weight.
 
Dang. If I had my pick, that would be it. Spec’d just right!

There used to be some company in Sarasota or Naples or someplace along the west coast that was making Rigid copies. Don't think they're in business anymore. The title is listed as "Florida Homebuilt." That's how it was when I bought it and when the previous owner bought it. Feels strong and sturdy.

Some additional photos:

Seat open. The bar under the seat is the white all around light for traveling after dusk. It unclips and then slides into a socket on the starboard stern. There is a red and green combination light in the front.

View of the portside storage. The starboard tube has the same kind of storage. It stretches to the stern and all the way forward.

One of two fishing rod holders.

Oh, and a 15 pound mushroom anchor with 25 foot rode is included as well as two 25' dock lines.

It's so stable, you can literally stand on the tube without it tipping over!

I put myself and two large sons in it with no problem. Of course, it wouldn't plane with those brutes plus me in there. ;)
