• 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.

  • 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.

Mainship Nantucket
I've just moved from sailing to a trawler, I'm refitting a 1982 Mainship 34.
I'm disabled, so climbing up to the bridge is not ideal for me. My boat has what appears to be a factory fiberglass radar arch, and a full enclosure. I want to sell these. The canvas is serviceable, the rear windows are rubbish. the arch and stainless frames are excellent. As I'm disabled the buyer will need to remove it.

Welcome aboard. Maybe put in where you are located, might help interested parties know if they will be able to pick it up.
 
Thanks, I forgot the forum is a 'BIG' place. The boat is in Victoria, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. I'm looking for a fair offer, The enclosure would break down to ship, the arch is one piece. I would also sell separately.
I just started looking around the forum, it's a great resource.
 
Price : $1,500 obo
Location: Victoria BC
Who owns it: Paul Rossmo
 
You have a radar and antennas on the arch that you want removed. I understand you are not able to use the flying bridge and therefore have no use for the canvas enclosure or arch but before you let just anybody start removing stuff, you had better make sure they don't damage your boat. The holes where the arch is mounted, if removed, will need patching, as will the bimini fitting holes. Then there's the exposed wiring that needs terminating.
I would ask that you carefully consider removing the stuff unless absolutely necessary.
 
Thanks Shawn, good points, I will be selling the radar as well, but I'll be sure to get the removal overseen.
 
Hi, I think the arch is the more valuable part, I think $900. Do you have a Mainship?
Cheers,
Paul

Of course… why else would I be interested in an arch? Yard art! ?

I’m deciding if I will fabricate one, weld one up or pick up a good used one…


Good luck! Thanks!
