• 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.

Your marketing will be more successful with pics or at the very least a link to the pics!
 
I hope I'm not being out of line, but this post strikes me as odd - lack of detail, reference to an online ad with no URL, text for more info, etc. Sellers should take care to not stand out in an unusual way.

CruisersForum has recently had a few scam posts for hi-value items. I'm not saying this is a scam, but it is certainly well outside the norm for a boat-for-sale advertisement.

1975 Defever

Yes. The replies are correct. It is a 1975 40' Defever. My mistake!
This is not a scam, however, I am not posting correctly. It's listed with a broker. So sorry for the confusion.....I just was trying to reach more loopers. In addition I also forgot we dropped the price. Duh!
 
Dlamkin. You joined this forum a little over a year, two posts, announced to the world where you are, met someone on the same docks, now three more posts that the boat is for sale.

What happened, was there a happy time with the boat this past year. Care to share any more or just leave us abruptly, suddenly and without notice. :D
 
Anybody for $65,000?

Keep in mind that there are a lot of folks who are content to remain on the sidelines of a public forum as this one. It would be the demise of the forum if there weren't those who logged on every day and posted or commented but regardless, not everyone wants or needs to participate as often as the "regulars" on here.
It amazes me that I've logged as many posts as I have since joining 6-7 years ago because I think of myself as more of a lurker and only try to post when I have something of interest concerning boating.
...and yet, here I am, posting on a non-boating thread. :facepalm:
Ok. I'm going back to my offline status now.:)
 
I live right by Aqua Harbor and looked at this boat with the broker from Captian’s Choice. It seems to me that is a nice well maintained boat.

We would have been more interested but wife really wants a walk around bed instead of Pullman style and I want a bow thruster with a single.

$65K for what? Your Florida Bay Coaster. I wish. Off topic but.....I see you are from Drummond Island. Spent a day on Drummond Island in 2019. Lunch at Chuck's. Given a ball cap by a gentleman who lives on Bass Cove(?) a few miles past Chuck's. He got my Navy CPO cap. Beautiful home. Wilderness island plus "pudding stones".
