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).

- 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.

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.

Greetings,
Mr. b. Welcome aboard. You, of all people should know what year we purchased. She might even be in just a bit better shape than when you sold her to us. Hardly a month went by where I didn't thank you for the variety of spares you left us. THANKS!!!
As you can testify, she's a GREAT boat but our boating needs have changed and we're moving on. Hope you're doing well.
Wanna buy a good boat? Hahahaha...

Oh, hello. I wasn't sure you were the one I sold her to. Yes, she is a great boat. I had her for 13 years and went from Montreal to Grenada and back to Florida and she is a fantastic boat. I am glad you have enjoyed her, too.

What brokerage?
Where to RT? Love to see a brokerage listing. I appreciate your intent, but just not enough support photos and specifications to make much out of it. Seems priced low for what she seems to be, so asking why? I'm West Coast but would travel for what seems to be a very fine boat. I am currently happily in a GB 36 and looking to upgrade.

Two posts before yours was RTFs brokerage listing at $145k. If you're a serious buyer, seeing the nice pictures from an experienced broker will cost you an additional $15k compared to TF pre-list post. In my opinion, still a decent deal for a stabilized long range boat.

Greetings,
Back on a laptop so I can at least compose a response in without the hindrance of a non tactile keyboard.
Mr. C. "...priced low for what she seems to be, so asking why?" We considered a few different price points and given today's market we determined that $145K was a fair price. Anyone looking has probably seen listings where it was obvious the owner was trying to take advantage of a gullible buyer and fob off their junk to make a quick buck. NOT fair IMO. Shame on them.
Thank you for all the kind comments. She IS a wonderful boat in good condition in spite of the fact she IS 43 years old.

Awesome-looking boat!
If you don't mind me asking, at what speed is the maximum range of 1600nm achieved? I'm just curious.
All the best,
Andrew.

Greetings,
Mr. NB. Under ideal conditions, to the best of my knowledge and "guestimates" I burn in the neighbourhood of 2GPH per Lehman 120 engine @ 8 knots (usually 1750RPM). I do not have a fuel flow meter and my measurements are with a dipstick in the tank. Percentage error=???.
800 gallons of fuel should allow 200 hours of running. 8X200=1600 miles AND dry tanks.

She is officially SOLD. Great boat that I'm sure the new owners will enjoy for years to come.
