• 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.

We are looking for a starter Dinghy for our Starter "Trawler".
We are not retired and don't cruise much.
Our default is a Costco $650 and 9.9 hp 4 stroke.

Many recommend a Mercury 15-- 2 stroke.
I fell in love with 4 stroke outboards and would have a hard time going back to the smell.
My wife doesn't like fast boats and I figure the 9.9 would push a 11' around 15 knots which would please the skipper.
 
Have you looked at Craiglist?
 
Smitty,
You could be right. I will probably struggle then over engineer a solution then buy a bigger boat.

I would opt for smaller, and more manageable in a tender.
Best,
Maldwin
 
We are looking for a starter dinghy too.
I'd give thought to what kind of floor your dinghy will have.
air floor vs wood or Al slats or a RIB.
We're in NE and leaning towards a RIB for protection from rocky shorelines.
also have a big dog.
We have a 9'6" beam so a 9 looks like what we are focusing on.
Hope this helps and good luck
 
Hi I have a 10ft Avon with a 5hp Honda . 500.00 near reading pa IMG_1541.jpgIMG_1540.jpg
 
Gallyhag,
You are very close, I would like to see it.
Any issues?
Sent a private message with cell phone.

We are going with a rib as it offers more stability for my wife. We have a Zodiac w wood floor and it is serviceable but it is time for an upgrade. Will be posting the zodiac on Craigslist in the next few weeks once we get the new one.
 
Think about where and how you will store it, and how you get it there. If it involves removing and refitting the motor,think about its weight and where it stores.
