• 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.

I am looking for suggestions for a 30foot more or less vessel that has a walk thru from a fairly large cockpit,no fly bridge easy walk around sides would be a bonus
All comments are welcome
Bert
 
Bayliner made a few vessels that would fit your criteria. I always liked the SeaRay Amberjack model in this size range too. Have you considered Tollycrafts?Lots to choose from.
 
Uniflite are good boats too...especially 1973 and before... many with fly bridge. Grady White is another high quality boat.... most without fly bridge.
 
Regal Express Cruiser

My Regal is 29'10" LOA and will be on the market soon, but it's an express cruiser. Doesn't seem like a match for you.

I'm still 'twixt boats, except for the Flying Scott and the dink, but the Parkers have caught my attention recently. I'm partial to the Sport Cabins, but the Walk Arounds might work for you.

Walk-arounds - Parker Boats
 
thanks all for the suggestions, Actually I have been looking at 2001 246 HSV Rosborough with a 150 HP outboard They seem a little expensive for the size therefore I am looking for something similar

The Rosborough 246s are beautiful boats and make a very economical mini trawler......but IMO you'll outgrow them pretty quick and probably want something a tad bigger.

My last boat was a 25 C Dory cruiser which is very similar to the Rosborough. I loved the layout and functionality but I craved more space and beam.

Good luck in your search.
 
If you are trying to buy your second boat now you might look at Mainships
Either 30P 34P Pilots or 34HT like ours...we love ours

Not many HTs around but they are out there.
If you find the right boat & deal w a flybridge you might consider replacing FB w a hardtop...look up Ebb Tide for the transformation he did..
It is striking..
Really improved the lines IMHO
 
Buy a 32' Grand Banks and build your own. That's what we did.

She really is a beauty. Sedans are super. Your modification is in my eyes a definite improvement. Enjoy!
 
My 29' Prairie in Florida. I cut the flybridge down low. Good for storage or sunbathing. Cadillac
 
It's a shame we can't send photo's on our PM.
 
Photos sent just now. Here on the Forum under Prairie and boats for sale should also have info. Cadillac
