• 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.

Sea Ranger 47 Pilothouse
She is an excellent value; spacious, reliable, economical, and fully outfitted for cruising. For the past five years she has been professionally operated and maintained as a commercial vessel by her USCG licensed captain/owner. She is in great shape with many new upgrades/additions. Her old teak decks have been removed and new fiberglass decks professionally laid. Her twin FL 120 diesels and Kohler genset have low hours, run like new and have meticulous maintenance records. Email: larryklaas@reagan.com to receive full specifications and photos. Located Gulf Shores, Alabama. For sale by owner at $89,500.
 
In essence, yes. "Marine Trader" is listed on my certificate of build as the name of the vessel. "Marine Trading International" is listed as the builder. In common parlance the terms are often used interchangeably. Not sure if that is strictly correct, but it is my understanding.
 
Captain Larry, Russell here. Me and my Wife , Frani chattered you one day. Last I talk to you, you were in the keys. Why you selling ???
 
What kind of mileage figures do you get with the smaller FL 120 engines? I'm looking at one near me with the FL 275's in it and I'm wanting a very economical boat.

Thanks!
 
Hi Fishing Fool. I get right at 2.5nm/gallon cruising at 7.5kn SOG. By reducing my SOG to 7 knots I get 3nm/gallon.

Hi Russell. Holly Day is back in the Panhandle. Selling because it's just the time in my life to move on. Will miss the old girl...great boat, great memories! Regards to Frani. Thanks for your message.
 
Forgot to mention in my original posting that further details on the boat, as well as our winter cruise to the Florida Keys can be found at www.facebook.com/hollydaycharters. Again, a full specifications sheet with pictures will be sent on request to those who contact me at larryklaas@Reagan.com.
