• 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.

  • 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.

East coast location, preferably Northeast, optimal would be Monk/GB/IG, other makes fine but has to be walk-around decks. Single engine preferred, and the less teak the better!

Trawler Wanted

I will advise to find a good local broker that can keep a better eye on the market...that's what I did. Most nice used boats are being sold before listing or shortly thereafter...the boats you see that have been for sale awhile are still for sale for a reason. Know what you want and be quick to act if it comes up. You will know if it the right deal for you! Best of luck...BTW...I am new owner of a Monk 36.
 
That is really good advice, which I am quickly learning, unfortunately. The market was very different the last time we bought a boat, several years ago. We used a broker in Maryland, because he had the listing for our favorite, and we liked him a lot, but I would love to find someone closer, because all the driving back and forth past Annapolis got tiring pretty fast! Looks like you are in NJ, I am in NYC, anyone you had a good experience with? Did you get your Monk through a broker? I am jealous, I've always thought it would be the best combination of attributes for us.

I dealt with Greg Gehlman at Seattle Yacht Sales in Annapolis. I live in lower Delaware. He is a very nice young guy...I would probably still be looking if not for him. I missed out on two that came for sale last summer because I couldn't get there fast enough. With his help, third time was the charm!
 
Thanks again! I may contact the broker I worked with before, who was also based near Annapolis, but I will also check Seattle Yacht. I never did before because I probably assumed from the name that they were in the PNW.
I am still considering a boat I saw in RI, but it has been for sale for a while, and as you said there are reasons for that!
Enjoy your boat!
 
1985 Great Lakes 33 under consideration to sell this Spring. Home port Wiarton, Ontario Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, Canada. Fewer than 30 manufactured by Ontario Yachts. Honduran mahogany trim. 120hp Volvo Penta single. Hasn’t been listed yet and is in very good condition.
 
Do you have any photos of the Great Lake? I have never seen one of these.....

You could also reach out to Brad at Niemiec marine in New Bedford. He was a great asset
 
Thanks to everyone for all the help and suggestions. Ironically I just got a lead to the exact boat I have been looking for, but just as an unexpected medical issue has forced u to put our search on hold, at least for now.
