• 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. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • 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.

I am planning to list my boat soon. I have a gob of pictures on my profile albums page, scenic and technical of the boat.

Engine is a American Diesel Corporation (Lehman) 136N with 5000 hours. Single screw fully protected keel.
Boat is mechanically in good shape, with some cosmetic punch list items I am currently working on.

I checked Yachtworld and 3 make/model sister-ships are going for $89K, $65K, and $60K. Mine is closest in condition/shape to $65K. But I will first offer privately for $55K, prior to a full-spruce-up.

Technical:
6.5KW Genset serviced 2015.
AC New in 2010
Bottom paint 2015
Engine serviced 2015.
Simrad Radar 24M
Autopilot
Garmin 740s GPS with depth.
Huminbird depth.
Windlass to be replaced.
Full keel
8 6V batteries.
2 close-door cabins
2 heads with showers
Solar panels for battery charging.
150 gallon water capacity
300 gallon fuel capacity
25 gallon waste capacity.

Needs as of today:
deck paint refresh.
door varnish refresh.
hull wax.

PM me if seriously interested.

Thanks!

We love our boat. But we've gone from a cruising area (Oriental NC) to a zooming area (Wilmington NC) and have the next kid approaching college, so we'll take a trawler break and get a skiff if convenient. Still, nothing like tinkering on the boat with a beer as she is 3 miles from my house.
 
Appears I do not know how to find your profile album that contains the pictures. Please advise

Who knows, Mr. B might spam/sell you a boat!

A brief update. This week I am completing major engine work to the boat and thus the engine has been taken apart and rebuilt. I've not yet run her as reassembly is going on now, but will advise once complete.

Ben, is your boat still on the market? If so, can you give details about the major engine work? I'm new to the forum and actively shopping for a boat like yours, thank.
