    • 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.

1994 Ocean Alexander Classico 423 Trawler for Sale
Price: $225,000
Contact: via this forum or directly at rengeleer@gmail.com.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS AND PICTURES CAN BE FOUND IN GOOGLE DOCUMENT HERE!

Andante, our lovely 1994 Ocean Alexander trawler, is on the market. She’s located in Shelburne, Vermont on Lake Champlain and is on the hard until the start of the 2025 season. Prior to moving north, we were full-time liveaboards in the New York Harbor and did regional cruising in the Long Island Sound and along the Hudson River. Andante has traveled extensively with previous owners including doing the Great Loop, along the East Coast, and multiple trips to the Bahamas.

She has twin Caterpillar 3208 NA engines with 420 total hp, a fully enclosed hardtop flybridge, and a closed-loop multiple zone Kabola diesel heating system that has made for cozy winters as winter liveaboards or when extending the season. Included is a 8.5' Boss Boat hard dinghy with 9.9hp Yamaha motor and electric crane/davit for easy deployment. Bridge clearance is 16’6” with the mast down, which makes her an ideal boat for looping or inland cruising, and there is minimal exterior teak for easy yearly maintenance.

Andante is a fantastic and well-loved boat - comfortable and well-maintained and beautiful. As a young family of four, she was a wonderful first home together and we will all miss her dearly, but life is taking us in a different direction.

Now it’s time for her next chapter: making your Loop or leisure or liveaboard plans a reality!
