    • 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.

  • 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.

Albin 36
We are selling our beloved 1980 36 ft Albin Trawler. We have been traveling the Florida coast for the past 6 months from St Augustine to the Keys to Tampa and back. Well over 1,000 miles and she has performed flawlessly. She is a head turner and people always compliment how much they like our boat. We are currently heading back north to St Augustine arriving by the end of November. Our family of 4 ( 2 adults and 2 kids, ages 7 and 4) have lived aboard full time since July and have been very comfortable.

Our boat makes a great full time live aboard and cruising vessel with all the amenities one would look for in a vintage long range cruising trawler. She would be an excellent vessel for the great loop, the Bahamas, or to use as a second home. We purchased her for her reliability and economy. Vessel has a single 120 Ford Lehman with approximately 4900 hours. Engine sips diesel fuel at approximately 1.5 gallons per hour. If you want a simple engine that is reliable and will go for 15,000-20,000 hours, this is it. Generator is a 7.7 kw Westerbeke with approximately 4400 hours. This genset is as reliable as the Ford Lehman, and will run all systems on the boat when at anchor.

Teak deck and fuel tanks are in excellent condition. This was one of the main things we were concerned about when purchasing a vessel of this vintage and one of the main reasons we purchased this particular boat.

Too many upgrades and improvements to list, but I will do my best:

Ford Lehman 120 hp - approx. 4900 hrs.
Westerbeke 7.7 kw generator - approx. 4400 hrs.
Plenty of spare oil filters, fuel filters, belts and impellers.
Morse marine engine controls.
MarinAire 16,000 btu air conditioner - new 2014.
Garmin electronics (radar, gps, depth, sonar) - 1040xs upper helm, 741xs touch screen lower helm, Garmin 18HD radar - all new 2014.
Radar arch - replaced the traditional Albin mast.
1800 watt Xantrax pure sine wave invertor - good for high end electronics like computers.
Brand new house batteries. Main engine and generator starting battery within year old.
30 amp Charles C-Charger - EL Series.
2 Standard Horizon depth sounders - upper and lower helm.
Sitex SP-110 autopilot.
2 VHFs- upper and lower helm.
Fusion 2 zone RA70 stereo. Speakers on upper bridge and in salon can be controlled indepently through head unit or phone app. - all brand new.
Two extrerior LED lights over aft deck.
All interior lights are LED.
Magma Grill - Kettle 3 combination grill and stove, party size - with cover.
Lewmar Windlas - with 120 ft of chain and 180 ft of rode. Two anchors - Delta on the bow and second Danforth anchor. The delta never dragged one time in six months of cruising and anchoring out, great anchor!
Forward head with shower and Jabsco electric toilet.
19" LG TV in salon.
17" LG TV in aft master bedroom.
Redport WiFi amplifier with router - top of the line amplifier that can pick up WiFi up to 7 miles away.
HP inkjet printer.
Igloo ice maker.
Aft head with composting toilet - great option when the holding tank fills up!
Norcold refrigerator
Magic Chef 4 burner propane stove
Raw water pump.
6 gallon water heater.
Brand new Bimini that covers entire top deck - if you like hanging outside, this is a really nice feature.
Brand new furniture on top deck - two chairs and twin sofa- seats 8-10 with built in seating.
Salon dinette converts to double bed.
Aft bed is queen size and v berths are each twin size.
Boat will sleep up to 6 people comfortably.
4 - Caframo 2 speed 12 volt DC fans in bedrooms and 2 - high power 3 speed AC fans in salon.
Plenty of interior head room, I am 6'2" and have no problems.
Full set of kitchen utensils, pots, pans, Kuerig coffee maker, etc. - everything is less than 6 months old. We bought it all for the boat, so it stays with the boat. Just bring your clothes and toothbrush and you can cruise tomorrow!

Specs:
350 gallons diesel fuel
220 gallons fresh water
Aprox. 35 gallon holding tank with electric mascerator
LOA 36 ft
Beam 13.2 ft
Draft 3.5 ft

You're budget is $27,500? What kind of 36' trawler are you hoping to find for that budget?

BTW, looks like nice boat and a great price!
 
Many many boat s out there for this price range.
Problems are owners that think their boats are new instead of 40 year old. Harley owners think because they chromed it to the tune of 10k they believe the bikes worth 10k more... It ain't. Negotiate on the boat you like and make a deal. Some owners will owner finance with big downs.
 
"You're budget is $27,500? What kind of 36' trawler are you hoping to find for that budget?"

not as nice as this one . You know something a peasant like me can afford.
 
Yes there are plently of loop capable boats for less than $30,000..... but virtually every one is not what most hoped for.
 
Hey TimB
I was thinking of listing my MTDC 1985 in the spring for just under $30,000. we are located on the Chesapeake. if interested please contact me.
Thx
