• 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.

FAIRCHILD SCOUT 30
I am selling my 1979 Fairchild Scout 30. The boat is hull number 2 from Fairchild Marine in San Diego, CA. Al all fiberglass tribute to the Lake Union Dreamboat form the 1920's it allows a lucky owner to have a really special headturner with out the hassle of wooden boat ownership. This boat spents it's life on the Commodore's mooring off the Newport Harbor Yacht Club in Newport Beach, California. I have a custom 3 axle trailer that it traveled on to Florida. The boat can be towed with a pick up or Suburban with 10,000 tow package. The boat is in very good original condition with some substantial systems updates. Repowered with a Yanmar 40HP diesel installed new in 2001. Approx 300 hours run time. In the last year all the house water system was totally renewed. Hoses, pump, waterheater, faucets were replaced.The bilge was totally cleaned and painted. A PSS Dripless shaft seal and new coupling are installed. New batteries. All external wood stripped and refinished in Cetol gloss. Bottom sanded smooth and ready for paint. Fuel tanks cleaned and inspection ports installed.All new sound deadening installed in engine compartment. This boat has full standing headroom with a beautiful mahogany trimmed classic look below. The boat will cruise quietly at 7 knots burning about 2/3 gal .of diesel per hour. Max is about 9 knots if you need to fight a foul current. I am currently rebuilding the windshield structure and reinstalling the engine. Need to seell as I have relocated to the West Coast. The boat is in a covered warehouse in Palatka, Florida. Storage could be continues here or tow her anywhere there is a decent roat in North America. Boat weighs about 9000lbs. and trailer has a 21,000 lb capacity so very over built. Call me at 561-301-7885 if interested. $30,000 as is now....$$40,000 when finished.

Just wondering what caused the death of the stock engine?
 
I’m wondering if that old Cadillac goes w the boat.

You obviously put a lot of money and time into this boat. You should drag it out west and live your dream. Where on the coast are you?

I’m a 40hp trawler guy too. Don’t go bigger.
 
Emailed to a Friend in Naples.
 
Boat I’d off the market until November....thanks for the interest. I am on the West Coast until,then.
 
Is this boat still for sale? If so, I may be interested. I look forward ro hearing from you.
Thanks, Jeff
