    • 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.

These Taiwanese built vessels are renowned for finely crafted wood interiors and attention to detail. Built in the 70’s hulls were overbuilt and very stout unlike most newer vessels.

Enjoy the spacious and comfortable classic. Large main salon with large sliding windows keeps you cool on warm summer anchorages. Solid flooring, storage drawers and cabinets all crafted from teak throughout.

Moving aft is a large cabin with 2 twin beds and storage with a large head and shower. Further aft is a sliding hatch to the aft deck.

Forward of the main salon is a large v-berth with large opening hatch and a second smaller head.

On the top deck there is a large flying bridge with steering station. In addition to the helm there is ample storage and seating. Stepping down there is an additional small deck suitable for a few chairs or storage.

Under the Salon floor is a reliable single 120hp 6 Cylinder Ford Lehman Diesel Engine with fantastic fuel economy. Condition is good and starting and running well.

Note that the exterior pictures without covers were not taken recently. Unfortunately and the reason for selling other being absent is the boat has fallen into disuse. She has not being maintained like she deserves making her an excellent value.

Given the boat is on a lake, you might want to discuss potential for buyer to assume the slip and the monthly fee associated with doing that. May also want to describe whether DIY work is allowed or if there are marine services on the Lake.

Interesting opportunity. Hope she finds a good home. Seems like a great opportunity for the right person.

Lake Lanier is a land locked Corp of Engineers Lake. I believe it is the largest based on shoreline in the Southeast.

There are 6 "sizable" marina's here. One with a suitable Travel Lift and self service Yard about 5km from current slip. Also there are specialized services by individuals and larger businesses from surveyors, cleaning, bottom painting, engine work to canvas,

Slip rates are pretty consistent amongst all marina's. Rates are based on covered, uncovered, deck material, finger length etc. In general you cannot assume the slip but another one should be available. This is to allow long term members to move to a desirable slip. The current uncovered slip cost is < than $400/mo with metered power.

In the water many owners do their own maintenance work. In general so long as you respect your neighbors you can pretty much do any needed work.

Should a new owner want to leave, Vessels are transported in and out of the lake on a regular basis. I have personally done this many times either by hydraulic trailer or travel lift.

Look forward to showing her and welcome any more input or questions.

Thanks Peter and hate to see her go.

We have the same boat and love her. Great boat for newbies (such as us) to dip into the trawler world without a big upfront buy-in. If someone were to want to be unlandlocked where would the closet place to get moved to? I am assuming one of the rivers?
 
The closest sea port is going to be Savannah or there abouts . Lake Lanie to Savannah GA 294 miles
Lake Lanier to Mobile 379 miles. Or 100 miles to Chattanooga to put in the Tn. River. Then you can go almost any where.
