• 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.

I am looking for a nicely outfitted Camano. I would like to deal directly with the owner. I have seached the brokers and have discovered that one broker had never even seen the boat, one had advertised it as a 2 year later model and some just say they are busy. I live in Florida. Thanks any leads or suggestions are appreciated. :)
 
Contact the people at Helmsman Trawler, Seattle. Scott Helker. They can give you all the information needed for the Camino 31.
 
Camano

I should have been more specific. I am looking for a used Camano 31 for use on the ICW in Florida, must have AC and a generator. If anyone hears of one for sale 2001-2006 send them my way.
 
Understand, Helmsman is now the builder of the Camino. They could possibly guide you to the boat / owner of a Camino for sale. As I understand, it's a great boat. Good luck.
 
You will limit yourself to a fraction of the Camanos for sale and may not save any money if you only look at owner represented boats.

I agree that brokers, particularly Florida brokers are a PITA to deal with, but probably no worse than owners in representing the boat accurately.

I have bought two boats myselsf through Florida brokers and sold one as a Maryland broker myself working with a Florida broker and I must say two out of the three experiences were bad. There is something about the culture there that makes brokers arrogant, untruthful, etc.

But have patience, keep your eyes open and don't believe it unless you see it when dealing with Florida brokers. But they do represent a lot of boats.

Have you looked at the Camano owners group East Coast Camano Owners
They may be able to help you I owned a Camano 31, 2002 model bought in 2004 sold in 2008 they are sure fun, very well made boats.
Good luck
 
Don't let the price scare you until you check on the exchange on the US vs. Canadian dollar.
