• 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.

THAT is a dandy!
I can't seem to find a reference to heating or cooling of the cabins?
 
How come the Boattrader pictures lockup after just a couple of frames? Anyone else having this issue?

Yeah, their amateur-hour web developer doesn’t work with iOS (guessing you are viewing it that way). Try via Win10 if you can.

And to anyone contemplating paying to put an ad on boattrader, be aware it is not viewable to half the web audience. It’s been that way for a year, it’s not a new problem. Just a really terrible website.

I wish this boat was on the West Coast or I had time and money to go get it. A real beauty.

Nope, using Windows 7. I have tried it with Chrome and Firefox. Yes, it has been this way for a while, and can't believe they don't know about it and won't fix it.

YES! This drove me crazy when boat shopping last year, as I was hoping for a FSBO. Fix: Boattrader lock up after viewing ~4 pics does not happen in FireFox browser!
I use Chrome for almost everything. Recently discovered FireFox is more friendly with some sites... [Delta Airlines, too....]

Boat is gorgeous!
Target wants their basket back...

I use Firefox and Windows 8.1. Locks up for me after about 4 pics. :confused:

There are 4 AC units that are also reverse-cycle (heat) serving the following spaces:
Master / Mid-Bunk
Guest / Companion Way
Pilot House / Galley
Aft Saloon

A couple of years ago I got a quote for $30,000 to ship it via Yacht Transport from Florida to the West Coast. I've also gotten a couple of offers to help me transport it on her own bottom for free (wink).
 
I've had questions about the boarding ladder. The ladder shown in the photo is stainless and will extend down so that the platform is below the waterline, putting you at about knee deep, this is perfect for swimming and far enough below water that the dink doesn't bump it when you come alongside. The ladder can be removed quickly and stowed.

The typical procedure to load in / out of the dink is to come alongside and grab and hold the ladder while securing the dink. Or if others persons are involved, holding the ladder while they board. It is quite simple.

The dink is stored on chocks and lifted / lowered by means of a davit with a hand crank. This can be done by a single person. The hand cranked wire-rope winch is sufficient to easily lift the dink (and 15hp motor) along with fuel tank, anchor, etc.

Got a request to show the flybridge helm, this is the only picture I have at the moment. There is room for the 11' RIB on the deck, there is also seating for 2-3 people to starboard (or 1 lying down).

Beautiful boat. A true one off custom plug mold build. I noticed you have custom dry exhaust risers on your 3208NA. Well done as the stock wet cast iron risers can leak into the engine after 6-10 years.

As to the people complaining about boat trader site "locking up" after 4 pictures. You need to disable your ad blocker, then everything works fine.
