• 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.

You should really add a lot of photos to your post so people can get a feel for the vessel.

We also prefer you put a price on the ad, so folk know the ball-park figure being asked. In fact, we require it. However, you aren't the first to not, and won't be the last to need reminding.
If your time to edit the title or post is past, let me know the price via a PM to me, (just click my name and select from the drop-down menu), and I'll put it up for you. :)

The price for the '83 43' trawler is 72k. That's a drop from the mid 80's. Updates have been mostly sweat equity, painting, varnishing, rebunging front deck, replaced mother board on Xantrex inverter, new bilge pumps, new macerator for head, new clean water pump for domestic system, filters, oil changes, reg maintenence. All manuals and history of upgrades, services since 1983 in log book. Many spares and full tool cabinet in engine room. Replaced salt water wash down hose and pump. All safety equipment, custom rib with 9.8 4 stroke merc.

New price at 68k, having replaced the starboard oil pan and hoses, 13k job by john pride, inc bowdoin, me-- was painful but necessary. Looking for those bargain hunters?? Was originally in the high 70's...

Possibly what you're missing is reviewing the forum rules for posts related to classifieds. You might want to review those.

Well, I guess that honesty is a commodity not found in your vocab? When there is a leak, I fix it. If there are septic smells, I replace the hoses. I can't pass those fixes onto a potential buyer. But I still want to sell and am aware of the many boats available. Thanks for your concern

I would be happy to review, but I'm not sure what you are referring to specifically ?? please enlighten for me, TY
 
I don't keep the rules at my fingertips but I'm sure one of the site admins would be happy to review with you if you reached out to them. But generally classifieds are not a place for discussion, and any attempt to derail somebody's classified is in poor form. You can ask questions to gain information about the item being sold, but comments about price and condition and reliability etc really have no place. People are posting to sell something, not get your opinion on it. If you are serious buyer and have questions, private message the seller.

Well said , The new member doesn't say where he's from or what vessel he has. I also think the rules should require your real name, just saying. What have you got to hide?
