    • 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.

  • 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.

2017 Helmsman 38E for sale for $399k. Yes, we just lowered the price with Scott at Helmsman Trawlers to allow someone a great opportunity to own a quality built trawler at a great price. If wondering why the extra low price it’s simple, we are ready to build a larger boat and need to sell this boat first. We are not as concerned with the price as we are our time line, life is short and we have plans for the new boat. You can find the boat not on yachtworld but under Helmsman Trawlers. You can read about this boat under the Builders / Manufacture section, Helmsman, Contract Signed New Build Underway. This is a very special boat of highest quality.

For those on this forum who know me, I have been on this boat and in my humble opinion. IT"S PERFECT! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
 
Price Change

After lowering the price on our 2017 Helmsman 38E the calls started to come in and I quickly realized we lowered the price too much. Appears many people viewed the price as a desperate situation and came in with some very unrealistic offers. Lesson learned even after a life time of boating is below market pricing can go the wrong way! Yes we are eager to start work on the next boat but not at a significant financial loss on a near new boat that is in our opinion the perfect ICW or coastal cruising trawler. So we told Scott to relist the boat at $419k which is still a great deal for anyone and provides a little negotiation room. A few folks asked about shipping the boat to the east coast over land which is what we planned to do with the boat ourselves and easy to do.

Update

While our Boat remains for sale we are having second thoughts (been down this road before) due to a few changes. We know first hand how life can change even the best plans and once again we are dealing with another change. Without going into detail I can advise working a little longer than planned and changes in boating budget is having us lean more towards keeping the boat in San Diego until I retire. Maybe we don’t build the larger boat and wait to do the inter coastal? Great thing about boating is that like the weather your plans change. Going from planning the ICW to building a larger boat for Cabo then back to ICW is like the seasons changing. Eventually some plans comes back around.
