• 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.

  • 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.

I had a 99 Mainship Pilot 30 years ago and sold it after experiencing very uncomfortable "tenderness" in beam seas. My wife was scared to death at the roll we experienced!

I am not sure on the price of the tank, i haven been able to find one. thinking $1,500? you need to pull the engine to replace it. I have been operating it on one tank with no problem
 
Im interested. How much are you asking? Do you know how much a new tank costs?
 
Sorry, I saw your response to the tank question late.
 
bought it in January 2020, and had it bottom painted and replace all below water line hoses, filters, impeller and GPS. The air conditioner doesn't work but other then that and the fuel tank it's in good shape for it's age. I haven't used it much at all, would be looking for $45,000.
 
I am an owner of a 2004 pilot 30. Experienced a leaky fuel tank on the port side last summer. I am currently in the process of replacing the tanks. It requires removing the engine first and then the tanks. The original tags can be fabricated from EZELL industries in Perry Florida. They were about $820 a tank plus freight. They are the exact same tanks that Mainship put in originally. I have the model number for the tanks. Talk to Rhonda at EZELL and she can definitely help you. I have fabricated the tanks to be an inch and a half lower so that they could be replaced a lot easier. The fuel feeds on the vents etc. are extremely difficult to remove. So far we spent about 16 hours removing the engine and the two tanks
 
Thanks for the information. do you have the model number? how long did it take you to get them?
 
Thanks for that info. That sounds like more than I want to go through. The price of the tanks isn’t bad but removing the engine and that cost is probably too much for me.
