• 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)

  • 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.

Coming to Florida for the winter season and looking for a slip? Old Florida apartment on the ICW with 36-foot slip and 40,000k lb boat lift in St Pete Beach, FL. $3500/mo. Available November 1 2023 through January 31 2024.

Yes, you read this right – there is a boat lift – a 40,000 lb one for up to a 36-foot trawler. That means no bottom diver needed; and basic below-waterline repairs without going to a yard. Water and electricity at slip. Right on the ICW north of the Corey Avenue Bridge in St Pete Beach.

The apartment is a 1950’s era efficiency apartment that was recently remodeled with all utilities including Internet and basic cable. Great location:
  • 5-min walk from downtown St Pete Beach (see attached map view)
  • Dozens of bars, restaurants, and shops within 10-min walk
  • 15-min walk to Gulf Beaches
  • Express bus service to downtown St Petersburg
  • Beach Trolley up/down beaches north to Clearwater Beach, south to Pass a Grille
  • Heated Pool steps from the boat slip.
  • NEW 40,000-pound lift. 36'x13' max. Water and Metered electricity

Construction on the boat lift is about to start, so no pictures right now.
VRBO listing HERE. $3500/mo with slip and lift (metered electricity for slip). Slip and apartment available separately, but no liveaboard allowed on boat.

I assume you're referring to idea of putting a largish displacement trawler on a lift. In my neck of the woods near St Petersburg FL, folks have their bottoms cleaned as frequently as every 3-4 weeks. While my slip is on a no-wake part of the ICW, it's a fairly wide stretch so there is some exposure to common storms (vs extraordinary ones for which there is no in-situ mitigation). A lift just seemed like it would be a good idea.

Getting proper permits has been a very long and challenging process. At some point once construction starts, I'll start a new thread and walk through
