• 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.

Hi all,
I am looking for a GA in the 60 foot range. Perferably in the west coast but will consider others.
Have seen the 4 currently on YW and even flew to Croatia to see one. So if anyone knows of anyone considering selling theirs, please let me know.
I will be selling my Defever 53 POC with slip in Port of Everett once we find the GA.
Thanks everyone.
 
Good luck and hope one shows up for you soon!
 
You know it brother. I just figured to cover my bases in case someone is just thinking about it and maybe not on YW.
Hope to see you guys soon.
 
I know of a cool one in Seattle, but the owners aren’t tired or her just yet. :)
 
I'd be interested to know why the ones you already saw did not fit the bill?

Nice choice by the way! :D
 
I can tell you that the one in central square NY, is an absolute beauty.
 
Addie, that in NY is not for sale in US waters. Have asked for more info.
I am still looking at the GA 65 in Dania beach, price is right.
 
Prob is the transport fee is 55K and I am trying to avoid that if at all possible.
 
HMY listed a GA 65 called Silver Sky a few months ago. Is this the one in Dania Beach? As I recall it has big Cat 3196s. We looked at two in 2018, neither met our goals due to wrong stabilizers and incorrect engines.

Cheoy Lees of the same size and vintage are worthy competitors IMHO. Allied recently listed a 72'er.

Yes, that is the same boat. It has been listed a long time. It's funny, the other 2 GA's are listed in the 850K range, quite a discrepancy. Thoughts?
 
Without seeing the GAs in person I've no thoughts on $ difference, just guesses. Maybe high hour 3196 engines in need of major servicing or general upkeep lacking? Have you seen ER? That visual may give a good tell on vessel.

For general comparison, look at the Cheoy Lee 72 Brandana. Nice clean well laid out machinery space, the right engines (Cat 3406) and well updated on the electronics end.

For the PNW, diesel heat is a nice to have item. Likely neither of these FL boats are so equipped.

We're interested in the 2002 53' Grand Alaskan and don't know much about this boat or builder.

Does anyone have an information abut the designer, builder and maintenance issues?

Thanks - Jim

We've had ours (yr 2000) for just over a year and absolutely love it. Maintenance wise we've been updating equipment that is 20yrs old, such as hot water tank, freshwater pump, electronics, etc. She handles rough water well and is easy to maneuver at the dock in high winds. Overall we have no regrets. Good luck with your search.

Btw we put 270hrs on her in our first year of ownership and plan to do the same this year.
 
Grand Alaskan 60

I know this thread is a little old but did you end up finding one? Did you have a look at the 1999 in Miami? If so, what did you not like about it? We are considering one as an alternative to the Fleming boats we initially started looking at. What are issues to look for?
 
Zephyr,
Good morning. Yes, found one and will receive it in mid August. It's being transported to the PNW from europe. Are you considering one? I am not sure which boat in Miami you're referring to? I pretty much looked at every one I could find on the internet.
