• 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.

Still hoping to find a trailerable trawler. Preferred locations would be southern Ontario or Vancouver areas. Something like an Albin 25. Searching from Regina, SK.

I am a member of a facebook group named Trailer Trawlers.
 
C-Dorys and Atlas Acadias are two 25' trailerable "trawlers". My avatar at the left shows an Atlas Pompano 23, but that isn't really a livable "trawler".

Never been on Facebook. My loss??

Maybe?

My current facebook presence is limited to five, boat brand specific, groups. I chose these five groups as I will likely buy one of these boats.

When you come closer to deciding what boat you want, there is probably an online webpage and/or facebook page for that boat. An additional site to find boats for sale and/or make your own post looking for a boat.

One of the boats that I too am interested in is the Albin 25. Seems to be a sweet spot for these boats in Vancouver.

albinowners.com is a good website for all albin boats.
The Albin Cruisers 25 & 27 facebook group is very specific to only Albin 25/27's.

David mentions C-Dory. There is also a specic C-Dory owners website at The C-Brats :: Home

I've always listed over the Acadia 25. What a great day/weekend boat for a place like Florida (where they are made). Lobster boat style is so very approachable.

Thanks, again, Jim. I’ve wanted something like this for years but didn’t know it until I retired. Then Covid struck, access became difficult, and ‘staycations’ became the norm. With winter, I took a low-paying job to get off the couch and banish the boredom, and now work two nights a week until after midnight. Which shoots my days to hell.
Sure would be nice to have a boat for the summer!

Not a Facebook person but am having someone try to follow this lead. Thanks. Quick guess is boat was ‘sold’ but is listed again for some reason.
 
There is a 25' listed in Tallahassee, FL on craigslist.

Misspelled as "Alvin 25" if you search for it.
 
A trailer is immaterial. It's the boat that is important. Shop for the boat. If it comes with a trailer, fine. But don't lose perspective here. A trailer can always be acquired post purchase.
 
Albin 25 w trailer possibly available .

Boat and trailer is in southern Ontario. I’m in southern Az at the moment. Send me a PM more for details. I also have the mast, rigging, and sales to convert it back to a sailboat.

Here is a picture of my Tresfjord 28. Norwegian built and rock solid.

Or a cruise craft 580D I went from Sydney to the tip of Australia in one of these back in the day :) absolute gem of a boat, most had a little Bukh in them could basically run off a fart for an hour :)

Sound advice. I purchased a Cargile Cutter in 2015, in the water at a marina near Nashville. No trailer. Drove up from Florida and bought it. Paid slip rental for 2 months. Found a trailer in St. Pete. Month and a half after purchase went up and brought the boat home. Keep your eyes on the prize!

"Yes" as far as boating goes. I do the same as JLD does. Amazing amount of info and help on boat/engine maintenance. The boating forums are mostly removed from the s..t show that most of facebook is. Suggest you use the TOR browser when accessing facebook.
