    • 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.

  • 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.

It looks like Fairfield Harbor in New Bern, NC. If so, what a coincidence. I bought a 1981 Prairie 36 in March from a couple in Fairfield Harbor.
 
Good eyes FOG

She is in Fairfield Harbour, New bern.

Thank you for the kind words sailor of fortune :thumb:
 
Yours looks like it was well loved and in very good condition. The one I purchased was well used. However, the more I dig into it, the more I appreciate how well these boats were made. I'm doing a little demolition to make way for some improvements and that is requiring much more effort than the last Taiwanese boat I tore apart.
GLWTS.
 
If someone is interested in this boat and needs another pair of eyes to go look at it, we keep our boat in Fairfield Harbor too and, with the seller's permission, could go do a walk-thru for you.
 
Fog


I had looked at the 36 you purchased before you. While I was considering it...poof it was gone. Enjoy
 
Did I miss asking price? I'm thinking about moving up to a 36 footer from a 30 footer.
 
When I looked at FOG's boat, i think this was the trawler across the way :lol:

Question: Is there any place to reasonably build in a washer/dryer combo?

Thanks!
 
In my boat there would be plenty of room in the aft cabin but mine does not have the centerline berth. Also, I believe all these boats came with flybridge and dual stations

I've seen several pictures of Prairie 36's and Atlantic 37's with a washer/dryer. On mine I would probably put it at the bottom of the steps to the aft cabin, outboard of the steps, where there's a current stowage locker. Here's a picture (from a 1981 P36, not mine.)

It could also go forward of the lower helm, in another locker, but (1) that would block access to the back of the controls, and (2) a lot of these had the forward head in that location, instead of on the port side like mine.

These boats are beamy and have a lot of interior space. Fitting something like a washer/dryer in would be easier on a Prairie than a lot of other similar-length boats.
 
Oh! Nicer place to squeeze one in than I was thinking. . .which was to cut out one side of a v-berth and turn the forward cabin into a laundry room :socool:

There is a lower helm. On our Prairie 36, there's also a full vinyl enclosure around the flybridge. We run from up there in all weather.

There is a lower helm as Capt Tom stated, right next to the Starboard side sliding door. I saw this as a plus when I purchased my Prairie 36 as I will be single handing it the majority of the time.
 
Your boat is beautiful. I currently have mine on the market in New Bern as well. But your condition is really primo. I need to work more on cosmetics for mine. I'd love to have twins.
 
still available?

Is this boat still for sale?
I have not seen any ads for it anywhere?

Anyone know of any other Prairie 36 vessels for sale?

Thanks.
