• 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.

thank you! She is special....
 
We are going to reduce the price to $70,000...
I think it's worth a million...
 
Decks were painted when I got her. They have many coats of Awlgrip and are in great shape. They don't leak. 250 Gal Stainless tanks in good shape I had her surveyed when I bought her...
 
I'd buy her for those two FL 120s alone!
 
Nice restoration. Beautiful boat! Good luck with the sale.
 
For the condition I think 60-70 is a great value!
 
A bunch in here:
Calypso pics
She actually looks better now than in most of these pics...
I'll send a few more....
We have a survey from when we got her in 2012. I can scan and send a link
 
I think your initial price was dead-on for the condition. Not an easy market for yachts. Some stay for sale for a few years. Don't get discouraged unless you really need to be rid of it.
 
Hello All: I thought I'd upload some more pictures.

Anyone at at the Trawlerfest in Stuart?
We are only 30 minutes south by car and 2 hours by boat.
If you're interested but can't come down, I'll bring her up

Sorry about the photos rotation...not sure how to fix!
 
Hello, Caribe. I like the looks of Calypso and might want to take a look. I'm in NC and dont want to invest a lot of time and travel just to be surprised and disappointed. I feel sure you are representing her fairly but would like to know of any problems, long term or short term, that might impact my decision.
I hope you understand.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

55 to 65K is a good asking price.

Just had my mostly rebuilt 1988 Albin 40 survey at $70K.

My asking price would be 60K.....and take way less unless a few quick higher offers were made.
 
She is even better in person...I'm having the decks done this week and installing a new AC unit next week. We stay on top of things and for some reason so has every other previous owner...You wont find a cleaner, nicer boat in her class
 
Hi DaveH; Calypso is quite fairly represented in the ads and photos on the forum.* We have always maintained her and kept up with maintenance*and things. Her previous owners did as well. She is very clean and there are no major*issues. The ac units need work but I am having*a new one installed next week. Please come and see us. We are in North Palm Beach, Fl. 561 906-0004
 
Calypso price reduction

Just finished the bright work and thought I'd share a few new pictures.
