    • 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:

    • 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.

  • 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.

Custom Dutch Barge
I built this four years ago. It's a modern V-hulled steel vessel. It is presently in Sarasota, FL at Marina Jack and is shown on my website:
Passage | Homepage
I have $850,000. invested and will sell for about $550,000.
 
That is one achingly (in that it will never be mine) beautiful vessel.
 
Thank you. That's so nice.
I really appreciate it.
 
WOW... That is a very cool vessel. Well done!
 
Thanks. And it looks like you are in the most beautiful place.

That is one handsome vessel. Thanks for posting.
 
Beautiful boat! Heaps nicer than anything I saw in Amsterdam 2 weeks ago on the canals. Including an underdressed lady in a shopfront window.
 
Good luck with the sale!

Gorgeous boat!
 
That is a terrific boat. I had seen something about it somewhere and found it fascinating, but I did not know the connection to Patrician.

That is truly an amazing vessel! Have always liked canal boats in theory, but was less than inpressed with the fit, finish, and fairness of the hull. Yours is truly a work of art!

Outstanding vessel! Love the twin stacks; "masculine indeed! Same engine as my 250 Dodge tow tractor! Outstanding engine!
 
Saw this boat at Marina Jack's a few weeks ago when we stayed there. It is absolutely gorgeous. Wondered what the interior looked like. Thats some serious joinery work there!

Thank you. We'll be back on board for the winter in about three weeks. Stop by and it'll be nice to show it to you and say hi.
 
Does anybody know how much I could get for a kidney? I have an extra one here, and it's just taking up valuable space. Maybe you'd consider a straight up trade?

Depends if it is one that Bill Gates could use I would think a great deal

Thanks...and that may end up being a good deal for me !
 
If you hear a shot in the next few minutes, it's just me......
 
Nice looking design and end result. What was the boat designed to do? WIth a three-foot draft, it would appear to be aimed at river/canal/protected coastal waters cruising. What was your intention when you set out to design and built it?

We built in for Florida, so the prop, rudder, keel coolers, etc are protected. For lots of air, the pilothouse windows slide down to open and then there's the back deck, which is the best place if there are no bugs. The V-hull allows some offshore work, which we just did again coming from Mobile to Sarasota...but she does roll a little more than a deeper V, or with some form of stabilization. I don't want the cost and complexity of active stabilizers (on this boat) and flopper-stoppers increase the air draft for more bridge openings. So it's all a compromise.

Say, Wayfairer, if you had intended to post a pic of the kidney, I think you've got a mixup in your photo album.
 
The second stack is a 12 kw Northern Lights genset on a Walter keel cooler.

Sadly, I lost all of my good kidney selfies when I let the blue smoke out of my old phone. I'm single at the moment, so I'm still looking for that special someone to help me take some snazzy new renal portraits.
 
Hi CAPT JZ,

Just curious...Did you reduce the size of the fuel tank(s) on board Passage to 300 gallons, and if so, why? Are the fuel tanks larger in the original Branson "Thomas 50" design?
 
No. The tanks are standard. With the smaller engines and speed limits of the European boats, they go forever. Even with my larger Cummins, I can probably go more than 1000 miles on a tank. I do have unused space in the bilge that could be more fuel, but if I were building it now, I'd use it for more blackwater storage.
 
Thanks...and that may end up being a good deal for me !

the phone does not do it justice passed you in the distance today

the picture does not her justice
