• 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.

For Sale: The time has come to sell our 1988 Defever 41...

With much sadness we have decided it is time to look :facepalm: at the reality of selling our much loved :smitten: 1988 Defever 41. We have bought a piece of Real Estate here in SOPO and as much as I have tried keep the boat and the RE... "ya just can't keep everything" Lord knows I've tried :rofl:

We are going to try and enjoy one last beautiful summer on the boat, keeping at our home base, South Port Marine, Maine. This will be our 3rd summer here at South Port and we have had the premier spot on the very end of D dock with a unobstructed million dollar view of the Portland skyline across the water (I can hold on to this coveted spot for a new owner).

The boat,
1988 Defever 41, twin Cummins 5.96BTA's (1,100 original hours) 8KW onan with 150 original hours. The boat was freshwater kept for most of its life. It has quite a bit of outside wood including teak decks (no soft spots anywhere) that could use refinishing. Electronics are a bit dated but the boat is fully fitted including Avon dingy and rarely used Merc 9hp.

I could go on and on about other details but I'm guessing someone who is genuinely interested will contact me thru the forum.

asking $78,500.

That's a beautiful vessel sir. Sorry you're having to part with it.
All the best with the sale and the new real estate.

i would also like some more info on your good looking Defever 41.

thanks Denise and Dennis (binnewater@aol.com) pics anf/or walkaround much appreciated.
 
***Sale pending***

On a piece of real estate that is :thumb:, we have owned it for years and someone wants it more than we do. It's been in the works for awhile and looks like it might go thru.

What all this means ? We are keeping the boat if all goes well (at closing). I'm sorry for you folks that contacted me for more info, I was reluctant to give out any more information and give false hope for a sale if we were able to keep er.

Regards,
Rob
