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).

- 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.

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.

A few more here.
Need a new teak table for your boat, Call Goodale Marine today
Fairly straightforward to build if you're handy with woodworking. Two problems with fold-up tables: The hinges are more visible than fold down tables; and there is a lot of stress on the hinges.
Stainless steel piano hinges are probably the strongest for the money, but still - if they get someones weight on them the screws will pull out of the wood. It might be worth considering a folding support bracket underneath as well to give extra strength. At least you arent banging your knees like with the fold down type.
Another option if you have the storage space; a second smaller table, and swap them out as required.
I'm debating the same thing.

If you use barrel hinges, they are totally invisible when the leaves are folded out and quite small in appearance, showing only on the ends, when the table is folded to 1/2 size. I was unable to find barrel hinges small enough and still stout enough to redo my table with granite, but if you use plywood of 3/4 inch thickness, dressing the ends with teak strips, you will be fine. Mine has slide out supports that are also completely invisible when deployed, and discrete when stowed.

Our table which is the original from the factory came with a piano hinge and a screw in leg. The picture shows the table folded in half with the leg still screwed in. There are clips on one wall to hold the leg when not used. Not sure if this is what you are looking to do, just another option.

I have that same table, but mine folds under and doesn't have those pull out supports.
