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).
- 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.
- Pertinent maintenance and condition information
- Exterior picture or pictures
- Interior picture or pictures (boats)

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.

Yes, a part of you goes with the boat when she goes away....
Are the new owners from around here (SW FL)?
Mark, I hope you stick around here on TF and contribute more of your good humour and insight. I liked the photo of your anchor washdown system so much I am thinking of copying it.
Cheers,
Mrs. Trombley

Hi Mrs. Trombley, et al, thank you for your email and feedback. I'm glad you liked our freshwater anchor chain rinse system I designed and installed. Perhaps my favorite part of the project was trying various lawn sprinkler heads to identify the pattern which would best rinse the chain without using too much water. I found the 360-degree pattern, dialed down to have a three-foot range, works the best. As part of that project I also installed several large transom zincs in the bottom of the chain locker before installing the new 5/16" BBB chain to serve as anodes. Yes, the buyers of our boat are local. This past weekend my boating neighbor friends saw the boat out at anchor and sent me this picture. Me seeing the picture makes me smile in that I recall our previous seven years of ownership and cruising lifestyle, and I'm glad to see the new owners USING and enjoying the boat as it's meant to be. If you hadn't already seen them please check out my gallery linked to my profile here on Trawler Forum. All the best, Mark

I know just how you feel about selling a loved boat. It's a relief to be done with the selling process, it's nice to have a certain amount of cash on hand, even nice to not have to worry about how the boat is doing when you are away, not having to spend time commissioning in the spring and closing up in the fall, but...
You still miss your boat!
Every time I sell a boat I know I will be a buyer again at some time in the future and I tell myself I will be SOOOO careful and buy only the exact boat I am looking for. It sometimes works and sometimes, not so much.
Congratulations

Hi Capt Chuck, Thank you for your interest in our trawler. We had the boat listed here on TF late last year and it sold in mid-December. I do miss the boat and the trawler family lifestyle, and decided to sell it because our kids had gotten older and lost interest. It was a terrific experience having owned it for seven years. I encourage you to keep looking -- both here as well as on the various trawler and boat trader websites as well as Craigslist. You will find the boat you're looking for. All the best in your search. Sincerely, Mark
