• 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.

I have custom dog stairs available that allow dogs of all sizes easy access up to and down from the flybridge of the Swift Trawler 44. Custom made by Lamb's Yacht Center in Jacksonville Florida.

They fit right over the existing steps, are made of a composite product, light weight, and gel coated to match the boat. They weigh ~30 lbs and can be easily moved/stored elsewhere on the boat, or ashore. I left them on all of the time and both people and dogs used them regularly. In addition to being able to easily walk around them and still use the transom door, they also created a nice storage space between them and the factory stairs, where we stowed our dinghy's gas containers. You can also open the propane locker enough to control the propane valve with them in-place.

Lamb's charges $14,000 for these steps. They are in very good condition, I am asking $7,000. I prefer local pickup in Connecticut but can consider shipping them but you must cover all packing and shipping costs.

That is a great idea. I was wondering how my 78 year old mother and My 10 year old chihuahua were going to get on the boat and the flybridge. That solves both problems. While yours would not fit my pt42 it is a great ide. Thanks
 
reduced asking price to $4,000, new these are $14,000

thanks
 
I’m in the market for a Swift Trawler 44 and have a new puppy. So I’m a buyer almost! If still available.
Thanks!

Ok but you are in Cali and the steps are on the East Coast :/

44 is a great boat. we enjoyed one for many years before moving up

Ok thanks Boater3. Maybe I can have my fabricator make one out of stainless round stock with teak stair treads?

I’d like to take the boat (tbd) from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas. There are three stretches without fuel going down the outside of Baja from Ensenada ( just below San Diego ) to the tip of Baja or Cabo San Lucas. It looks like the ST44 range might be 300 miles. I think I’d like to carry a 500 mile range as there are no services on this 1000mi run on the West side. Maybe I could get 4- 50gal plastics drums for fuel and lash them down in the aft outside cockpit deck? I’ve made this run in sailboats several times over the years - but never in a powerboat. Once down there, the 300mi range is fine. I’d be very grateful for any insight on this.
 
range depends on your cruise speed. i would not put extra fuel weight on the st44.

You may want to search for TF member @ksanders in Baja/La Paz. He took his Bayliner 4788 from Alaska to La Paz, and back to Ensenada for summer last year. His boat probably has a range of 600 miles but knows the fuel situation well. By far, best resource on powerboat down Baja I know of.

Best success - Peter
