• 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.

  • 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.

Greetings,
Mr. cj. Actually, speed zones on the Rideau are in kilometers per hour. 10km/hr is the standard. That is about 6 statute mph.
 
The first bridge from the lock at Lake Michigan is DeSable/Michigan Ave. it does have a clearance of 17’ however there are established weeks- days -times that it opens for sailboats to allow transit. In the spring, it’s twice weekly in the morning and midday for part of April and May as I recall. They have a published schedule on a Chicago bridge website.
 
"Actually, speed zones on the Rideau are in kilometers per hour. 10km/hr is the standard. That is about 6 statute mph."

YES! Thank you.

The speed zones are very useful as internet is delivered along with electric to many cabins and islands.

Many are unsecured so sending and receiving E mail can be done with some patience.
 
I have a very nice Albin 34 that would be perfect for the loop.

It is in excellent condition and I'm in St Petersburg.

Lots of "perfect" boats for the loop.


The one that causes the least amount of stress is maybe the "perfect" one.

There is a fixed railroad bridge with slightly less clearance further down the river that limits a Looper's air draft.

My wife and I want to begin the loop in April/May 2020 leaving from south west coast of Florida-Englewood-we are looking to buy a suitable boat sometime in the fall of 2019 or early 2020 with the intention of becoming comfortable with the boat between purchase and departure. We have taken one boat to survey only to find a number of problems and in the opinion of the survey person we simply were going to pay too much for the boat. There was no negotiation with the seller so we walked away reluctantly . We really want a boat and was wondering if any of you out there might be finishing your loop sometime in the fall and might be interested in selling your pride and joy. Our budget tops at 60k. Would be very interested in talking to anyone out there whose plan might mesh with ours. Thanks cliff

Hello,
I do not know if your projects have materialized but I allow myself to send you a link concerning my trawler that I put on sale a few weeks ago.
My boat has been totally renovated and is ready to make a new Great Loop!
 
Comming to tampa

My island Gypsy 36 is in the process of being relocated to Tampa . She has left Galveston. She is presently in Port Fourchon Louisiana and is projected to arrive in Tampa some time next week. Ill post when it is here in Tampa.
 
My boat is supposed to be a great looper and is available?
! A 1972 Gulfstar 36, I’m only the 3rd owner, the last people lived aboard for 17 years! She only has 6554.5 hours on twin Lehman diesels. If you have further interest please email me coastaloverstock@gmail.com
 
If it were my choice I'd take the Gulfstar.

Look on Yachtworld. I have an Atlantic 30 that has done the loop. It is the right size for this trip. United Yacht brokers has the listing.

Loop boat

Hello CBOUCH. I am putting up the Amanda Rene up for sale in a week or so. She is a 1999 Mainship 350 trawler with 3000 hours. I have owned the boat for 2 years. She was a one owner boat before me. I bought her with 2500 hours on her. We brought her to Key West for the winter and then back to NJ. She is in the water now. I can send the survey that was done when I bought her. She has twin 4cyl Yanmar diesels. If interested, give me a shout back and we can discuss further. She has done the loop with the previous owner and gone to the Bahamas.
 
Thanks bought a boat do not know how to get this one off .
 
Hey Cliff,

let us know, what you are a new owner of? How was your experience buying a used boat?

Best :thumb:

Cliff, several beautiful loop boats have been offered and presented to you and your wife. Are you considering any of these or rejecting them for consideration?.... Just curious how your search is going?
