• 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.

Hi, looking for 44’ - 52’ pilot house trawler . Prefer single engine but twin would be considered. Unpainted aluminum is my preference . Would consider steel/GRP.
Located in BC but happy to look further afield. Price range IRO CAD500k.
ROZEMA built a few interesting examples, if anyone knows of them?
 
Yes, I've seen Rozema boats. Usually aluminum and unpainted. Rezema was/is in Skagit County, WA. I think they build fish and work boats primarily.

There are lots of aluminum purse seiners in BC that could be had for <$500k I'd guess.

Hi Ken,
Thanks for the reply. Metal trawlers of this type are rare. Probably too expensive to custom build. ROZEMA built some nice ones but not many. They produce superb fishing vessels and support vessels but too much hassle (and expensive) to do conversions, even if they were available.
Not the best time to be a buyer, in this market .
 
Hello,

Paint could be easily removed , just a sandblasting.:angel::lol:
Totally Unpainted was our first choice for our Long-cours.62, but at less the deck must be painted for 2 reasons : non slip paint and ...hot.
Under sun the alloy could became very very hot !
Structure - Trawler long-cours





If we would be sure, don't find customer for our actual boat we will remove all the paint ... because after that for find a buyer it will become "mission impossible" :eek: because with "only" some( ok lot of !) "patch" of primer it is already not possible potentials customers always ask for a "Awlgrip" paint
Paint and filler on the hull, deck, roof ( 380m2) it could be around 1000 kg !!!(average of 2mm thickness of paint/filler).
We already save 680kg by removing the teak deck (and lost a potential customer because his wife wanted a teak deck ...:ermm:)
