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.

Very understated ad.
Not worth a second glance. If that is all the effort the owner puts into selling a boat, try to imagine the effort he puts into maintaining it.

I have to laugh at this forum sometimes. For a bunch pleasure time boaters this sure can be a rough crowd.
As a person looking to purchase a trawler I will say that my interest drops with so little said. As a seller you are fishing- put some bait on the line, some eye candy or an interesting highlight.
Buyers want to be "sold", this approach has the air of "I have a fine boat for sale, and if you are lucky I might let you have a look if you work at it".
There is a NP for sale in my hometown. I had no idea how beautiful these boats are. Out of my league, but they would be at the top of my list if I could fly at those altitudes. Nice boat. Good luck with the sale.

Mopharharn.My take on this is;
The owner has been a member here for 7 years. has made a number of worthy contributios and has offered up some good information on NP yachts.
On that basis he (wrongly) believes we all know him, his boat and his maintenance skills.
How many times have we read:
"I never thought about an ark, until I actually saw one underway, in the marina or at anchor. I had no idea how nice that boat is."

His boat his advert choice. Sellers/sales people may set tests to filter prospects, as a recent sales thread attests. You want info, you PM.

Dang, you guys slay me sometimes....
Rebel has been a helpful contributor to TF for years. He is simply letting us know what boat, at what price. For those of you who simply want to be entertained by looking at boat ads, you can go to Yachtworld. Those of you who are interested, or know someone who may be interested, in the boat know how to PM Dan for more information.

Reading some of you men whine and snivel is like playing cards with my sisters kids. Man up and stop complaining about a guys advert. Damn millennials.
Nice boat by the way. I’ll pass it along.
