• 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.

  • 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.

Price reduced to $10,000. Two years old. New price was $16,200. Like new, fast and indestructible.
 
There are boat yards close by with cranes, forklifts and travel-lifts.
 
Heck from Oak Harbor you can just drive that thing to Orcas Island. Take about 30 minutes.
 
LOL


Thought of it, Waiting to see if I can make a deal on a Trawler I'm looking at. Thats what the BF would be for


Best

How much does it weigh ?

what is the beam overall ?


Thanks.

Alfa Mike
 
698 lbs which includes the 30 hp Honda, the beam is 5' 6".
 
Curious as to why the change? New boat came with AB Rib? Bullfrog too heavy?
 
The Bullfrog is 700 lbs and can only be off loaded from the starboard side. It is a fabulous tender but too heavy to easily manhandle down the side of our North Pacific. We don't have side decks so fending off and positioning has to be done from the cockpit. The AB with a 9.9 will be 220 lbs and the tubes will be a lot gentler on the salon windows. I had vision of lifting the Bullfrog in 25 knot winds and rain and my wife struggling to keep it from smashingly through the salon window.

I.e. a "wrecking ball." I had one of these on a charter boat. Personal preference and all, and I understand the indestructible part (like on a beach), but IMHO these are hard, heavy, beasts just waiting to tear up your boat. Great boats, but no tender for me!
 
In the 50’s we had wood boats that planed w a 10hp OB.
Now we have plastic boats that need three to four times the power.
Progress?

Ahh, thanks. I've gotten a smaller one to try and am also concerned about the weight - wondered if that was it.
