• 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.

My neighbor has a 79 Mainship 34 that he needs to sell ASAP due to a sudden job offer in Florida. It has a Perkins diesel and a bow thruster. If you are interested PM me and I will give you his phone number.
 
If it were me, I would most certainly take the boat with me to Florida.

He has too much to deal with trying to get moved. He has a six month old baby and doesn’t want to deal with the boat. He has to be there in a couple of weeks.
 
That's half of what could be had with some time on the open market but it's his boat.
 
I know but he is under pressure to get it sold. It is a nice boat, I drove it 2 years ago. This year he didn’t even get it in the water due to the new baby. He just has other priorities now.
 
The boat is on FaceBook's
Trawlers For Sale group.



He dropped the price to $7500.


Here's the ad:

1979 Mainship 340 Diesel
$9,000 Now $7,500
Au Gres, MI


34' Diesel Trawler
These are all the pictures that I have.
bow thruster
Great boat, 220 fuel tanks, very efficient, perkins turbo diesel.
fridge works, stove works, engine runs great, hour meter quit a few years ago but showed around 1100 (if I remember correctly) The Perkins is rated beyond 10,000 hours before needing a rebuild, so it never concerned me. Single screw, no generator.
rear camper enclosure
nice project and with a little elbow grease this is a great boat to use and get your money back later. Very reliable and simple boat that has never let us down and I'd be comfortable taking it just about anywhere.
has 2 soft spots, one on rear of fly bridge floor and another under the sliding door, 2 of the windows should be replaced.
we are moving to Florida and the boat is staying. This is probably the cheapest Diesel Trawler and or Mainship on the market. Currently in storage in Au Gres Michigan. I dont have any interior pictures but its very decent and very original.

I would jump on it if this was not 1100 miles away (don't know how to drive on snow), and this South MS boy wouldn't freeze his privates off.
 
Somebody is going to get a smoking deal. I would buy it if I weren’t knee deep working on mine. I would then put it up for sale and make some money.
 
Can I get your neighbors phone number I live in Fla Vero Beach Fl& am thinking of getting a different boat. Also how can I post a for sale ad on this site ?

Thanks,
