It would break my heart if she sold for just $39k... I'd really be on the fence about just keeping her at that price and seeing what happens in my life with law school, and maybe paying a captain to bring her down to Tampa. I would never ever find another boat like her for $39k... not even...

Hi Everyone, just a reminder my boat is still up on Ebay, the auction ends today in a few hours. :)

Thanks... she's still for sale if you're interested :D

Keith - yes I saw that - was trying to figure out what he was trying to do. i would think that when he started to loose control he would kill the throttles and let the boat coast. Perhaps he was trying to throttle back and the engine wouldn't respond? Maybe the linkage broke? Or maybe he just...

"Your mind will never be the same..." - I hope in a good way :-D

Amazingly, no one was killed or seriously injured... the captain looks like an invisible hand just slams him to the deck... Amazing Boat Accident Footage is Hypnotic | The Big Lead

Hi Craig, thanks for the kind words. Yes, I am now about a 45 minute drive from my parents' home - which is very nice to be close to them again (my Dad seems to be eating more and improving in health in the month since I moved to Tampa). I still have the Bertram 25' for sale as well in Boston...

Hi Guys, some of you may have noticed I was missing all summer - was busy moving myself and all my things down to Tampa, as I began law school - so things were quite hectic. I had been debating bringing my 43' Marine Trader down to FL, but realized i simply would not have time to take care of...

Tom, thanks for the post, and for the offer! Sounds great, and NC would not be terribly far to get to from Boston in the few weeks we would have to move her. I'll send you a PM. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, Looks like it is definite that I am moving to Tampa, FL to be closer to my parents; and will attend law school there, as well. I currently live in Boston, and have my Marine Trader 43 for sale. I'd like to keep the boat and take it to Tampa - but realized the fuel cost may be too...

1984 Marine Trader 43 LaBelle Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com Hi Guys, just a quick note to let you know I listed the boat, and the link is above. Thanks again for all the great input guys!

Hi Guys, here is the link to her on YW: 1984 Marine Trader 43 LaBelle Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com

Marin - I don't always (ever? haha) agree with you on things here - but you are spot on in your post. I guess the question I should of posed is: Would I be better off selling my boat in Boston, saving the time and transportation costs to sail her down to Tampa, and then buy a smaller trawler...

Hi Guys, I listed the boat on Yachtworld, and dropped the price for a quicker sale. I'd like to see her go to a good home before I move (I can help deliver). Phillip

Hi, I don't consider you guys here "strangers" - just friends who live far away but whom I haven't visited yet :) I do have a condo in Boston, but doesn't make financial sense to sell it. I'd loose money on it now, and I can rent it to friends to break even on the mortgage.

Hi Guys, thanks for all the great input. I'll have to do some serious thinking about this... but part of the reason I'd sell her is to use the money to buy a house down in FL.

Hi Tom, Sent you a PM, but wanted to mention she gets about 2mpg at cruising speed of 8 knots. Cheers, Phillip

Hi Guys... I've been doing alot of thinking lately (dangerous, I know). I currently live in Boston, but have been thinking of moving to Tampa to be close to my elderly parents, who may not have long left on this earth (I'm an only child and would like to be close to them). I was going to take...

Hi Guys, Yes, I would love to keep her. She is LOADED with extras, and I know I will not find another boat like her, most likely. But I just can't justify the cost to move her; and I have hope that I can take the money I will get for her and use it to help buy a house in Florida. Or if I change...

Well, I'm not sure I will get one or not - was thinking to buy a house around Tampa, actually. My plans are sort of in the air. Ideally I'd sell her, and buy a house, and then maybe a smaller 34 or so sedan trawler, or trunk cabin. But if the perfect trade came along, I'd trade her. And part...

By the way - if you guys feel the boat is mispriced, please let me know. I'm open to suggestions on a fair price. Thanks!

Hi Guys, if anyone is interested, I dropped the price to about $15k. Am moving South, need the boat sold.

Change of plans in my life, selling my Marine Trader 43' Labelle Sundeck trawler. Better than average shape, foredeck and side deck were professionally reglassed - teak removed - decks are SOLID, fuel tanks have NO leaks or rust, and LOADED with equipment and gear - can email you an excel...

What a tease...
