Yes, I did initially use my own broker to contact them. I was careful to do so. My broker was told that the listing saying it was available for co-brokerage was incorrect and they meant to fix that, and it was actually not available for co-brokerage. My broker then offered me a kind deal of...

Not yet, but it will be. The surveyors felt this was due to a lack of raw water flow. The seller admitted it had been over three years since the aftercooler has been cleaned and suggested a service on the after cooler, a raw water system flush on the transmission cooler and heat exchanger. I...

Yup, full time liveaboard. Been living aboard since my 20's - full time including the winters. I have a small storage unit - about the size of a walk-in closet on land and that's it. My mom was a serious hoarder, so my life has taken the opposite tack. I have always been a minimalist, and that...

Exactly, it was weird. This boat cost a ton of money, so I don't get why the broker's company wouldn't let it be available for co-brokerage. I have a broker I trust and have known for years. He very generously offered to represent me for only 2.5% (rather than 5% typical) if I wanted to pay...

Perhaps it did! It was Tennessee Rover back then. Owned by Carol and Bill Yancey.

Thanks for all your encouragement, everyone! I am having a lot of fun just working on the boat at the yard, and arranging work. Can't wait to have it in the water and move in!!!!

I get ya, but I do think the transporter probably saved me a few thousand by making that decision, and it was the fault (really) of the prep company for not doing his to-do list. So I think - in the end - I have no desire to ding him or his insurance rates for doing me a favor, ya know? I could...

Oh I could go on and on about the AT34!!! I've been drooling over them for years online. And in fact, I saw this same one for sale a couple years ago by the original owners, but didn't have the savings secured yet to make the purchase. I was overjoyed to see it back on the market earlier this...

Update: the transporting process was tough, but I suppose that's typical? My boat transporter had given Troendle Marine (the prep company) a to-do list and the seller's broker let them into the seller's private boat shed on Friday to prepare for the haulout and placement on the truck Monday. I...

Don't mind at all! It was quoted at $7,800, but then added $1,000 for the dinghy, and another $3,000 when the transporter realized it would need a pole car due to height. So all told, $11,800.

A 2007 American Tug 34. Red hulled. BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to get it up here (Maryland). The process has been so costly though - even though I did my homework on all the costs, there have still been many I wasn't expecting. And unfortunately the seller didn't come down much after the survey...

Thanks Rain Dog! I went with your recommendation and was very glad I did. Seth was top-notch, detailed, good with explanations, and reasonably priced considering how experienced he is and how much time he took with me. Very pleased!

Hi everyone! I'm just concluding my buying experience of an American Tug 34 and wanted to give some recommendations for anyone else buying a boat in Pensacola, FL. Thanks to another member on here's recommendation, I am very glad that I went with Seth Mosley of Mosley Maritime for the general...

I'm dealing with a good broker now Working on buying a boat now. Am a lady in my 30s, so the age factor doesn't help either. But the broker for the seller who I'm dealing with now has been great so far. Seems to take me seriously. Gave me tons of his time and attention. Let me spend about...

Hi all! Looking for recommendations. Knowledge of liveaboards and our requirements (we are tough on boat systems!) and trawlers would be ideal of course, but I'm sure not necessary, right? Hoping for someone who takes time with me, explains stuff, is friendly, produces a detailed report that...

Became a Liveboard 10 Years Ago Some of this advice is wonderful! I became a liveaboard 10 yrs ago as a single woman 29 yrs old. I haven't looked back and am now in my late 30's. The mere idea of returning to land is depressing to me, and I will only move to dirt when I can't get on the boat...

Haha! I love those pics! Thank you guys! By the way, I also had a broker show me a Greenline Hybrid recently...would be in the market for the 33 if so. But boy that boat stunk - literally! A few years old and yet the toxic new boat smell was still VERY noticable (cheap glues used in the...

Oh boy! I thought the forum would send me an email notification when someone replied and here I've been a terrible poster! Had no idea all you helpful trawlerers were posting back to help me! :) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'm on a Carver 350 Mariner: 15 yrs old, and has served me well in terms of...

Hi all! Been living aboard for over 5 yrs on a cheap, roomy mini-van of a powerboat, but she isn't "me" if you know what I mean. My heart belongs to an American Tug 34 I think. I know she's out there somewhere...currently being loved by a nice retired couple who is about to pass her along so...
