• 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)

    All ads should also include ALL the following:

  • 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.

I'm sure many here would not consider this boat as a "Trawler" per se. I have been a fan of Sam Devlin's designs since the late 1980's and purchased a set of plans for his Surf Scoter shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, life had other plans and I was unable to build her but I stared at the plans for over twenty years. Fast forward to 2013 when I was at the low place in my life. I happened upon this boat for sale in upstate New York and at last this was my chance. With a dream finally being fulfilled I set about repairing things that needed doing. Since then I have traveled from Annapolis and north as far as Martha's Vineyard extensively. This boat literally saved my life and sent it in a direction that I could never have imagined. All for the better.



I have since bought a 26' Devlin Black Crown. So as much as I love this boat, I'm afraid it's time to let her go.


I recently re-powered her with a 50 HP Honda outboard with approx. 300 +/- hours, power trim and tilt.


New Load-Rite trailer approx. 4 years old.


PM me for more information.


I have been in love with these boats for years. I have looked at every Surf Scoter, that I have have been able to locate on-line, and I would not have traded this

boat for any other. When I bought the boat my surveyor said, it was not a boat, but "a small ship".



Misanthropes would do well to pass on this particular boat as it attracts people like flies to stuff.


Thanks for looking.


Dave

I love it! Certainly as much of a trawler as any of our recreational boats. Unfortunately one boat is enough for me right now.
 
Man if I was in the market I’d be jumping all over this. Love Devlin boats and this one is a beautiful little trawler!
 
I am interested in talking with you about your boat.
Please DM me.
Thanks
 
Very nice looking boat. Lots of character. I would like to know more if possible. Thanks Kyle
