    • 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).

  • 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.

This boat was my father's project that he never did complete. It has been sitting since he passed away a few years ago. I have not had the heart to do anything with this boat. He did a huge amount of work to it and did not get a chance to enjoy it.

When he got it the fuel tank leaked and the stringers were soaked with diesel. He hated that smell and was very sensitive to smells so he gutted the whole cabin. Some rotted stringers were replaced and a new floor was put down with marine grade plywood. The fuel tank was replaced and so was the water tank. The 4 cyl Perkins was rebuilt too. Dad had a hard time finding parts and a decent mechanic to do the rebuild. We did launch the boat a few times but the RPMs were not high enough. It could be something with the governor, but I do not know for sure. I will get the engine started one of these days but I want to empty the diesel tank first and put fresh fuel. I have enough projects and responsibilities on my hands to totally finish the boat and it has been languishing on the hard for too long. Someone should enjoy it.

Pics to follow soon. Boat is in the Bronx NYC. Asking $25K, it is a documented vessel with the Coast Guard and has a fiberglass hull. It has been shrink wrapped over the winters and opened up in the springs to air out. Winter storage could be included with the sale. The rig has been stored indoors.
 
I would love to hear any other specifications and see the pictures when you get the chance to post them.
 
Thank you for your interest, this boat is from your neck of the woods, eh? It is listed on the registration from the previous owner as a vessel made in 1972. On the certificate of documentation it has a length of 30.6, a 10.0 beam and 5.7 depth. There is an official number routed out in wooden plaque below the deck in the transom that matches the doc. Here are some pics for your clicks:

DE,
VERY VERY much like my Willy. 30' Willard. Even the same prop now. It's a tad smaller than Willy but looks larger. I like her stern better than the Willard and if it were longer it would be the near perfect boat. Of course one man's perfect boat is not another's. Any more pics?

PS These boats may be the same but if not the're VERY similar.

Thanks, she does have a nice butt, here are some more pics. They did make a 32' Monte I think. Your Willard has beautiful lines. It is a lovely boat. I love the cabin design and how the windshield windows are angled. She looks very stout and very similar.

:smitten:Isn't that a work of art? Can you or cannot see a "soul" flaring on this boat?

I don't care to be called romantic...
 
Hmmm, but how does one comfortably man the helm with what appears to be a settee immediately beneath?
 
Great question and good eye Mark. I completely missed that earlier.

Still a nice looking boat though. Any engine room pictures DE?

I can't open the hatch to see the engine. There is a post supporting the wrap on top of it. Dad didn't put it all back together and I haven't had a chance to do it. There is a seat for the helm someplace. Finding the stay sail will be more of a challenge. I know where in boom and mast are though. Thanks for the compliments, part of me wants to keep her.
 
DE,
Listen to that part if you know you have the staying power to keep at it and be good to her.
Otherwise sell her. But I doubt you'll get even close to 25K. Maybe in a year or so someone will come along that just has to have her. I'd like to see you and the boat to do wonderful things for each other but chances are probably against it. One way you could do good is to fix her up so she is seaworthy and looks good then you'll get much more for the boat and maybe have a bit of fun doing it. You'll be in a much better position also to know if you are a good owner for her. But selling her for 12 to 15K now may be the best bet. Depends on your time and how much of a boater you are ect. My dad had a beautiful 67 Cadillac and I had a great time w that car but in the end it just wasn't me and I sold it. It was dad's car. He loved it but eventually it wasn't worth it to me.
 
My thoughts exactly (over priced), I think Eric is giving you sound advice. 12 k would be an offer that you should expect to be about max for this boat in current condition.
 
thanks for the opinions and advice. I said I was asking 25. I will see what happens. I am in no rush to sell it. It wouldn't take too much to get her in shape to be launched.
