I asked for some extended time off and I got it, been working way too many graveyard shifts..

You might remember me, I was trying to sell my Marine Trader, but I am keeping it, for now, looking forward to getting to work on it soon, and I'm glad I was able to get the time off, now I can enjoy the boat and give her the attention she deserves to get her back cruising again.

Typical Ebay, buyer flaked and won't answer emails, playing possum. Relisted.

The boat has made reserve. (6k) But this is far less than what I actually have in the boat, so hopefully the final bid will be close to that figure..

I'm just trying to recoup my investment, donating the boat is not on the table, I am certain it is worth every bit of what I am asking. Just needs TLC. I bought it to cruise, and selling it is something I am only doing after a lot of soul searching and realizing I really like having my job more...

Thanks, I really hate to sell, but I hate to lose my job even worse.. Hopefully I will find a nice boat here in California. Hell, I might even go back to sailing.

My job demands are keeping me on the west coast, so I am reluctantly selling my trawler in Essex Maryland. Heres all the details for my rare twin screw boat 80hp Lehmans sip one gph each at 1750 rpm.. 1976 Marine Trader 34 Double Cabin Trawler RARE Twin Screw 80HP Lehman Diesels | eBay

Houston to Long Beach by land seems the sanest and easiest way to go, thanks!

Or even better, I could motor to Tulsa, Oklahoma and have her hauled and shipped from there, I really do not want to sell this boat. Also noticed that my boat sells for around 10k more on the west coast, so I would be hard pressed to find another one there for the same price. I suppose I could...

My original plan was to leave California and spend some time on the east coast with this new trawler I bought (34 Marine Trader) but now my work demands are keeping me on the west coast. I really don't want to sell the boat and I am looking into having it trucked to Antioch California in the...

I guess 9 knots is a bit high for that boat's cruising speed, more like 6 or 7, I guess is realistic. MY boat is the exact same size and I also have twin screws but I would imagine this one has 380 hp turbo diesels and I have 80 hp each.. I can't afford to own a planing hull cruising boat.

But seriously, what kind of numbers would this boat generate as far as GPH at 5 knots, 15 knots 20 knots, and 25 knots? would love to know those figures.. Say each Yanmar burns 2 gallons per hour at normal cruising speed, say around 9 knots. Thats only around sixteen bucks an hour to cruise...

Wouldn't the single Yanmar diesel not cost 50 to 100 bucks an hour in fuel ? At reasonable trawler speeds, that is ?

The camp is nice, just got back from a visit with Jack and Diane. :dance: The melons are great, but you have to watch out or you might just become cat food.

I've reached that sad age when girls in their 20s will no longer date me. Does that make me officially a dirty old man? No, but in all seriousness, I always owned and cruised sailboats but I kept having these dreams where I owned a trawler and I really liked it, so I guess for me its follow...

I have owned sailboats made from GRP, steel, and even wood. Owning an wooden hulled boat is one to file under "never again" Learned a lot about boat repair and carpentry during that time, though..

Your neighborhood seems to have a feral cat problem, and I believe I would just stay out on the water..seems a lot safer..

Just a little curious why didn't you just sail down the ICW instead, that's a fun little five day trip on the ditch, seems like a good excuse for a cruise..

I've read thats the typical path to trawler ownership.. In 20 years I have owned 20 sailboats, now at age 50 I find my Marine Trader 34 to be the boat of my dreams, anyone else like me here from the sail set ?

Mines a '76 with twin screws ! FL 80 engines with low hours, kinda rare..

I figure every 40 year old Taiwan trawler is an ongoing project boat, I found one that has your typical issues, but looking forward to ICW cruising the loop and beyond with my Marine Trader 34 DC - The adventure is just started!
