• 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.

28' hull. Estimated 31' LOA. Draft of about 3.5 feet. 10' beam.

Engine: Clean, reliable Perkins 4.236 with 3100 hours. Excellent running condition. Many recent upgrades including stainless exhaust manifold & elbow. Borg Warner Velvet drive (~rebuilt 2009).

Dual helm at flybridge, Sleeps 3 adults or 2 adults and 3 children, enclosed head, large open galley, fresh water deck shower, newer cushion covers and curtains (not seen in photos)

40 Gallons fuel, 45 Gallons water, 30 gallons waste

Basic electronics: auto helm, radar, gps, VHF. Major re-wiring since I have owned the boat.

Propex cabin heater, prop cutters, emergency dewatering pump, Remote spotlight, dingy davits, foldable swim platform, and more...

I am the current owner of this boat. I have owned the boat since 2008. I bought a larger trawler in late fall of 2021. Sad to see it go, but I need to sell this boat. This is a comfortable, heavy built, easy to handle, safe and seaworthy trawler. With diesel prices rising sharply, this small single engine trawler is as fuel efficient as it gets. This boat is fully commissioned for the 2022 season and is ready to go cruising.

Spring 2021 Insurance survey reveals no major issues.

Location: Quincy, MA
Price: $33,000.

For complete details and extra photos please see full listing here:

Sorry price is inconsistent. 33K is asking price on Trawler Forums.
 
Hi
She looks like a great little ship.
I was wondering if she is trailerable? Have you ever transported her over land? I know more fun moving her by sea but just a thought.

Unfortunately clearance is an issue (and she also weighs 14000 lbs). I have the boat moved by trailer up the street, but cannot go much further without the flybridge being removed. Trailer clearance is roughly 14 - 14.5' if I recall.

Hi Cusser,
Sent you a PM. Have you sold the boat?
