• 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)

    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.

Due to life changes we are listing our 50' Gulf Commander for sale.

Gulf Commanders have great reputations around here. Designed by Ed. Monk Jr. she is well built with great tankage for extended cruising. No chopper guns in sight - all hand laid on clear fir stringers. We have run her offshore multiple times and she has the range to go from Washington to Alaska without stopping or refueling.


A very short video.... https://youtu.be/u_qPHh2fLA0. Not 'boat porn' but just nice to think of sunny days out on the water.


She is listed on yachtworld, and before everyone mentions it :) I have said to the broker we need better pictures. I know how much everyone appreciates good Engine Room photos and we don't have one good one yet! (It is a full standing height Engine Room BTW)
 
The Gulf Commander is perfect for BC/Alaska boating. My mechanic has one that he has taken to Alaska probably three times, and lives on it year round otherwise.

What is the fuel consumption like with those engines? I have to say that if my wife was on board that would be one of my top picks for our last boat.
 
Thanks LowNSlow77.

Yes a great boat for around here. We have done over 40 consecutive days on the hook mid-coast with no cabin fever. (And my wife was the one who green-lighted this boat over all the others, so I appreciate what you mean :)). We have run offshore multiple times including a run from San Fran to B.C.

Fuel consumption varies quite a bit based on how fast you want to run, and so I always work it back to nautical MPG. We typically run about 8.5 knots, but slow it down to 6.5 knots when chilling. Some actual runs:

Nautical Miles / Average Speed / Nautical MPG

101 miles / 6.9 / 2.03
355 miles / 8.5 / 1.46

Transmissions are spec'ed to freewheel with no issues for up to 8 continuous hours so we have tested runs on a single engine. We still get over 6 knots @ 2100 rpm and rudder offset of only 5 degrees, but interestingly not an enormous improvement over 2 engines at lower rpm and the same ~6+ knot speed. Nice to know for contigency though.
 
NM, There is a Gulf Commander ilike yours in the Bellingham area...I've seen it tied up at Sandy Point. I like the lines of your boat and it would be great for longterm cruising.
 
Is it still for sale? I didn’t see the price.

Just saw your boat is for sale. I hope you guys are OK.
I could be interested in your boat. Is it still around?
What is the capacity of your davit? My dinghy is heavy, 12' Caribe, 40 Honda, 750# dry, which it never is.
The Lohman cover has worked out, I am pleased to see. Fits without too much modification?
I am on Saltspring, so coming over to N Van to have a look could be interesting during Covid. Please let me know. We do have tentative plans to cruise to Wigwam for Easter.

You need to get that long winded guy to do a video describing how great your woodwork is! ��
