    • 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.

  • 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.

Hi All! Looking for a diesel 55 to 60 foot trawler/LRC as a liveaboard with a pilot house, flybridge and nice aft sitting area. Please keep me in mind if you stumble across something for sale that fits the description. Thanks!

This raises an interesting question: overall or on deck? My boat model is a 456, measuring 45 feet, six inches on deck. Overall it its closer to 53. I recently saw an Ocean Alexander for sale that was listed as a 48 Classico. I would swear, from the pictures it looks identical to my boat, but is three years newer.

I am parked near a 46 Nordhaven, but it sure looks smaller to me.

I’m looking for the model size, so a 58 would actually be longer in total length.
 
A boat that size is almost always going to be on Yachtworld. A Hatteras 58 LRC checks all your boxes. Great boats and well supported to this day.
 
Welcome aboard. I agree that a Hatteras LRC 58 is a very nice boat. I think that Curtis Stokes has one listed, maybe?
 
Didn`t GG buy a Hatteras?
 
Curtis Stokes does in fact have a 58’ Hatteras LRC. Boat looks great in the listing, don’t have any first hand knowledge though.
 
Long time customer, ex Nordhavn owners, got an 07 Selene 55 and its a terrific boat, if you see one do look at it. All, roughly half a dozen, Selene owners I've met are happy with their boats. Hatteras is a very well built, highly reputable boat as well.
 
BoatGal,

I have a friend that is about to list his boat a 58' Angel Med. PM me and I will put you in touch.

He is also in Palmetto, FL at RDM
 
Buyers Agent Question

Hi All!

We are thinking of hiring a buyers broker/agent for our boat search. My question is what happens if I find a boat on my own FSBO? Do I still have to pay the broker commission? Also, with FSBO boats, is there a way to find out what it sold for previously or get comps?

Thanks for any comments/help with this :)
 
Working with a broker normally doesn't mean any commitment for a buyer. As in real estate, a fixed commission, coming out of the selling price, is usually divided between seller's and buyer's agents. There are sometimes quibbles between brokers over this division. If you don't have one the seller's agent gets it all and might kick back some to you or the seller to make a deal go through. Typically this is a survey item the seller and buyer won't budge on, one thing that stalls the deal so the broker gets it done and pays out of his commission. Brokers and surveyors have access to prior brokerage sales through their memberships. I don't think there is any public record of sale prices so owner sales usually can't be found. Comps if available will usually be provided by the buyer's surveyor but the trouble is you're not getting a survey until you've agreed to a price. I don't think the comps are a criteria you can use for 'subject to survey'. That's an area where a buyer's agent can help. A good one will be familiar with many boats and with an understanding of what you're looking for can help narrow the field a lot.

I have a good friend who is an independent broker in California, a good guy who works hard for his clients and they come back to him again and again. PM me for his contact info if you'd like. There is no deal between me and him on this, but often his clients become my clients for technical services after their purchase or prior to their sale.

Cheers & happy hunting!

No flying bridge, but meets all the other criteria. Take a look at www.mvmojo.com. Listed with Virginia Yacht Brokers, www.vayacht.com
 
I have a 2004 navigator twin Volvo 1000 hours 57 foot great liveaboard. Too large for present need. Great economical boat Currently in heated storage in Brewerton ny. 619 981 1408
 
Take a look at a Symbol 557. I have one and it is very comfortable. After 5 years its does very well here in the PNW. Pacific Northwest. Not too many on the west coast but quite a few more on the east coast. I bought mine for less than your 'buy budget'. Bear in mind that I have put 20% of purchase cost to 'upgrading' and fixing deferred maintenance. Good Luck to you.

That’s a good point. Most if, not all used boats need upgrading or fixing. The boat we had before Hobo, I wish it had only been only 20%.
 
Selene 53
