• 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.

Howdy- We think we're ready for the plunge. Looking for a well cared for full displacement 2 head, 2 stateroom, stabilized trawler on the east coast. Something along the lines of a DeFever 44, Kadey 42, or something similar. Appreciate any leads or inquiries.

I don't think a Defever 44 is full displacement hull. A KK 42 is, but if stabilized you mean hydraulic fins, most KK 42s do not have them. Also in that era there are few other full displacement boats. The only other one I can think of is the Hatteras LRC but a little older than your criterion. Some percentage do have stabilizers.

David- Thanks for responding. DeFever 44 is full displacement event. full displacement

There are some KK42s stabilized and in fact one in FL we're going to consider that has Naiads in it.

Appreciate anyone's insights on other makes/models we can consider under 50' that is full displacement, stabilized, and 2SR 2 head.
 
Hi all- still looking! We've upped our search to late 80s to late 90s stabilized, 2 head/2 stateroom fuel efficient live aboard/long range trawler. Love the KK42s and DeFever 44s but will look at all in that vein. East coast preferred. Thanks for your consideration!

50' Bestway CPMY

I have an early 80's model Bestway 50' CPMY with pair of Cat 3116'S. Made in Taiwan very similar to Marine Trader. Solid fiberglass. Roomy 2/2 with full beam aft deck and cockpit. Great view from bridge which seats 7 comfortably. Like all older boats she's a work in progress with new canvas, exterior paint, interior upgrades, etc in past 5 years. Runs well and very economical on fuel. Located in Palm Beach/Hypoluxo area. Will send pics if interested. My son's college tuition forces sale!
 
Thanks for reaching out Kevin- we've moved into "newer boat" territory and now looking for something into the 90s or newer and long range. What is her tankage and burn rate?
