    • 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).

  • 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.

This boat has had extensive engine work and many upgrades in the last five years. I'm the third owner and I bought her in 2020. I've had her out about 50 times with many of those being on anchor up to a week. From Florida to Texas, I've never been stranded. Running with barges on the Intracoastal Wateryway and ocean going tankers on the Mississipi, she never faultered. She fires up and runs great every time. A testament to the Lehmans. She turns on a dime and is really easy to dock. She's in Ingleside, TX now in a nice quiet marina.

New engine work, new systems work, new interior work and new exterior work. She's needs some cosmetic work, mostly teak refinishing. But this boat is NOT a dock queen!! It is a well equipped, reliable vessel and a great live-aboard boat. Tested and proven!

Double Cabin, Queen in Fore Cabin, Twin beds in Aft Cabin
2 Full Heads, One Forward, One Aft
Twin Diesels - Ford Dover 2725E (Lehman SP135) Straight 6 Cylinder Non-Turbo Diesels (~1,350 Hrs / each, Original Motors))

420 Gallon Fuel capasity (Diesel) (2 -210 gallon tanks, mounted outboard of motors port and starboard)
120 Gallons Fresh Water - Stainless steel tanks (1-70 gallon and 1-50 gallon, below floorboards centered and forward)
Spectra 14 gph Water Maker

Rariton ElectraScan Type 1 Marine Sanitation Device w/ 15 gal Holding Tank (This is a BIG deal for cruising. Look this up.)
Two Jabsco Electric Flush Toilets (Raw Water, 12 VDC)

NorPro 9KW Diesel Genset

100 feet of 5/16 inch galvanized Chain
100 feet 3/4 Anchor Rope
Lots of dock lines and fenders
Full suite of safety gear, life jackets, etc
Many, many spare parts. Many items and accessories not mentioned.

There's lots to do on this boat, mechanically and cosmetically, but a lot has been done already. As an engineer, I focused on the functionality of the systems for cruising and not the "pretty" part. It was rewarded by many comfortable nights on anchor in a quiet paradise. If you're good at teak refinishing and painting, you could add a lot of value to this boat. There's a dock queen in Florida just like this one selling for $160K.

$60,000 Negotiable

Will consider trades and partial trades for land, 4x4 pickup, side by side, trailerable sailboat, etc. What do you have?
