    • 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.

My brother in law has one in NH. Outboard motor. He likes it for day cruising around Great Bay (or whatever its called). For overnights, he has something quite bit larger.

I saw an ad for one in Chesapeake Bay magazine (the latest issue). I agree they are nice boats if they suit your needs. A little utilitarian on the inside but they will get the job done.

Your best bet is to do an Internet search. Another option is to find a broker and tell him or her what you're looking for. The brokerage fees are paid by the seller so you are getting this service for free.
 
Bert,
Take a look at the Rosborough owners site. I believe there are some Rossis listed for sale: groups.yahoo.com/group/RF-246Owners. I've owned a Rosborough RF-246 for three years - a seaworthy, trawler design with live-aboard capability. Very satisfied.
Best,
Grumpy Old Men - Rosborough '03
 
Grumpy
What do you figure your Rossy is worth ?
Bert
 
Hi Bert,
Grumpy Old Men is NOT for sale. Rosboroughs of roughly the same vintage ('03) are selling from 50k - 65k depending upon motor(s), A/C, electronics, etc. The hardtop over the cockpit is a hugh plus. Doubles the living space.
Good Luck,
Grumpy the Younger
 
There is one on YW . It's on TN river at the next marina south of us . I think Green turtle bay yacht sales has the listing .
 
Dang, those boats are expensive. IMO.

So are Sea Dories and I can't see why. Perhaps being an old man just puts me out of the loop on what costs what these days. I remember thinking my sister was kinda stupid for paying $10,000 for a Honda Accord. At the time it was "just a little economy car" but very recently I paid double that for a Honda Accord and it wasn't quite new. Sticker shock and inflation (should be reversed) are having an unreal effect on me. And I admit I generally think of new things like SUV's as stupid but after they become old I eventually like them. Don't think I'll ever like SUV's but they aren't old yet .. are they?
 
Speaking of sticker shock, a new Suburban 4x4 LTZ will run you about $75000 after taxes, and an Escalade will run you over $95000.

To me, that's insane.
 
Izzatt the kind of cars you drive dude?
 
No. I buy used stuff. I'm a car dealer so I can get them from the auction. I have a 2011 Chevy Tahoe I just bought that I'm driving now-- it was around $29k with 60k miles. Wife drives a little 2012 Lexus convertible.

I was a new car dealer 9 years ago, and remember new Suburbans running around $40-45k, and I thought that was pretty high back then.

Conspicuous consumption of the 1%'s!
 
Not all the rosboroughs are expensive. There is a 35' in Michigan for $49k asking price. Low hour Cummins in it.

Pilots are supposed to have fast cars, right? Not boring old Tahoes.
 
Anyways, back on topic....I think Rosboroughs are pretty damn badass....as well as the C-Dorys and Tom-Cats. They serve a market niche and I think that is why they bring the money they do. They are very compact but have all of the trappings of a bigger boat. I guess Nimble could be lumped into this pile. Anyway, I have fantasies of cruising the Sea of Cortez.....but not sure about going thru the canal from here....so a boat of this caliber would be the solution!!!

Wanted Rosborough RF-246 or Ranger Tugs R-27/29

I'm looking for a Rossi with outboard/s and a hard top over the cockpit; or a Ranger Tugs R-27/29. Prefer one with a trailer but would consider one without trailer. Must be nice, no accidents, well cared for. I'm an IMMEDIATE cash buyer for the right vessel. Far prefer buying directly from the owner, rather than fooling around with a broker. If you have such a boat, or know of one ... Please email me at Hisminister7@aol.com. Thank you for your help.
