• 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.

Richard,

The boat seems to be under contract at this time. Maybe PM timjet privately.

Also, I would be careful posting your phone number in the forum. You might get some unexpected calls. Like from RT.

(J/k RT! You know I love ya).
 
Boat is sold!

Like so many things in life, selling Flyin Low was an adventure. If the couple that bought her has half as much fun as we did owning her they will be very satisfied.

I will check in from time to time but I see me eventually loosing interest. The next chapter is an RV. Several RV'ers have said the RV lifestyle will even be more fun than the boating lifestyle. Not sure about that, as the memories we've built with Flyin Low will be hard to beat. Spending a week anchored off the docks during the Urbana Oyster festival, or spending 4 days in the fall anchored off the Tides Inn up Carter Creek in the Chesapeake are memories that last a life time, and can only be experience on a boat.

So, off to our new adventure. Thanks to all the many friends I've made here and all the wonderful advice I've been given. It has made the enjoyment of owning Flyin Low all that much better. We'll still be running around Tampa Bay in our 19' bow rider, but probably spending nights in our RV, perhaps by a stream with snow peaked mountains in the background.
 
Tim, congrats on the sale. We sold our diesel pusher to get into the trawler life style. Miss the RV at times. In fact last year we bought a small 25 foot RV. Not the same for sure but it was a compromise that we had to make to afford it and the boat. Please let us know what RV site/blog you end up on. We would love to follow your adventures if you end up posting them. Have you got your RV already? If so what did you go with. Enjoy!
 
Congratulations Captain. Very sorry to see you go. Keep in touch!!!
 
Congratulations Tim. I've enjoyed our interactions and would enjoy hearing about your next chapter too. Life is still good after the boat.
 
Greetings,
Mr. t. All the best in your future endeavors.

Thanks for all the kind words. I will definitely check in from time to time.

I signed the bill of sale yesterday on the boat after determining the money was in the bank. 4 hrs later we made an offer on an RV that was accepted, one we had seen earlier in the week. I'm crazy, but pilots are kind of like that, we need big toys and feel a little empty without one.

Sure gonna miss RTF's video's. In the words of the younger generation, his collection of video's must be Awesome. So I'll have to check in now and then!
 
Good stuff T

the siren call of the road awaits...
 
Happy touring. You will be missed.
Over here, road touring motor home and caravan towing couples, usually in retirement, are called "grey nomads".
 
I'm glad you had the chance to see wonderful things and have great adventures by sea. Now it is time to do it by land for you. I hope you have many , many wonderful times by land too.
