• 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.

After a false start last year, we have finally listed Bella, our Mainship Pilot 34 for sale in Rhode Island. See the Yachtworld listing for complete specs and pictures- 2003 Mainship Pilot 34 Sedan Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com

This is a single engine, downeast style cruiser, the one you see in my avatar to the left. She sips 2-3 gph of fuel at her hull speed of 7+ kts, but will cruise nicely at 15 kts when you want to go fast.

Contact the broker, Mike Farman at 401-497-1116 for further information.

Nice boat and well maintained, good luck with your sell :)
 
Dave!!!! What is next???
 
What is next. Unfortunately, probably nothing.

My wife tore her ACL ligament in her knee (getting out of the boat!!) a few years ago and didn't get it repaired. She is fine with it 99.9% of the time, but she is now unable to get on or off the boat easily at the dock and certainly can't get in and out of our dinghy which is critical to our way of cruising.

I had been considering this move as well. I am now almost 71 and this old body can't get around as well as it once did to maintain the engine and other boat maintenance chores. Every time I contort my body to get into the engine room to change the impeller or something I pay the price later that day. But I will never, ever let another mechanic work on my engine- besides you Ski ;-).

So between my wife's knee problems and my own frailties, it is time to sell the boat. But I still ski in the winter and hike when we go camping in the summer. So there is still some life in this old body!!!

But I will maintain my interest and postings in the Boatdiesel and Trawler Forum sites so my crusty old advice will still be available to those who might benefit.
