• 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.

Selling our Shewmon Sea Anchor for large motoryacht, trawler, or sailboat. We purchased this for our trawler for storm protection and thankfully never needed it. Please see photos and manufacturers information and pricing page. We sold our trawler last year and this sea anchor was in storage.

The sea anchor is in brand new condition and was never used. It comes in its own polyester storage bag so it can be neatly stowed aboard until needed. It is 12 FEET in diameter and rated for vessels up to 310 tons.

Paid over $500- new and now selling for $150 cash. Sea anchor is located in Southwest Florida and I can look into shipping to other parts of the country if need be.

Please contact me via my account info if you are interested in purchasing.

Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

That compares very favorably to Para Tech, which requires 24 FEET for a 50 ton boat. And conversely, their 12 FOOT model is only good for a 12,000 pound boat -- no where need 310 tons for any of their models. Also, at $500, the "new" pricing on yours is also much better -- I believe the rope and shackles, etc., alone cost more than $500 on my paratech.
 
Hi MYTraveler, thank you for your response and feedback on the sea anchor. Again, I've never used the sea anchor and sold our trawler last year (see my write ups elsewhere on Trawler Forum under my name about the sale). After I purchased the sea anchor I took it out of the storage bag, and must agree with your statement regarding the workmanship and quality of the materials. They are top notch and very well made. I'm reluctant to sell the sea anchor and am hopeful someone would have a need for it, but never actually use it as was the case with us. Of course about the time we sell it would be when our next "perfect" trawler comes along for sale. A Kadey Krogen 54 motorsailer would do nicely, but apparently there are only 8 manufactured...

Here are a few photos from our previous trawler life afloat.

Happy Holidays and be safe. All the best in 2021 and beyond.

-Mark

Hi everyone, thank you for your interest in the sea anchor for those of you who contacted me. At this time the sea anchor is pending sale. I will remove this ad once the sale is complete. Happy Holidays, and all the best in the New Year. Let's hope there's more boating and less COVID in our lives in 2021. Until then, remain safe and vigilant. -Mark

Good morning slowgoesit, thanks for your interest. I've just boxed and shipped off the sea anchor to the buyer earlier this week and am now awaiting receipt of their check at this time. Because I am confident the check will soon arrive and clear and I no longer have the sea anchor, the item is considered sold. Happy New Year! -Mark
