• 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.

Hello,
Time to finally pull the trigger and move up from our Express Cruiser and on board full time. We are located in SWFL and would love to hear from anyone thinking of passing on their vessel to a caring home :)
 
The 53 POC is one of my favorite layouts. I have not actually been on one yet but I did look at a 47 POC. Liked it a lot but it does not have the standup engine room that the 53 has.
 
Thanks for the replies, I was very interested in the one that just sold in Jax, but missed it. Primarily we are looking for the 53 POC but a close second would be (mid 80's) 49 PH CTF built, Soft Chine. Then there are some distant thirds. We are interested in SOME work, just not an entire refit, while it is interesting it just might be too much for me as I am still working. The search continues :)

I only ask because I'm wondering what you're seeing. I'm in the market (not for this boat) and I'm trying to learn to better evaluate these pictures. I see the exterior vinyl is showing its age, but that seems normal for a boat that old. What else should I be seeing?

Not trying to hijack a classified, but it's not really a for sale so I feel it's okay. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Here is the listing for the Stuart boat:

Here is a listing for the another DeFever 53, also a 1988 model (under contract):

https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1988/defever-53-poc-motor-yacht-3503394/?refSource=standard listing

You’ll see major differences in the overall condition of the boat...exterior, interior, engine room, etc.

The pics are supposed to draw you in. IMO, if the pics aren’t pleasing, expect it to be worse in person.
 
It never ceases to amaze me how poor some photos of boats for sale are. Also how people do not declutter the boat when it is for sale to make it look more appealing.
