• 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 Guys,
some of you may have noticed I was missing all summer - was busy moving myself and all my things down to Tampa, as I began law school - so things were quite hectic. I had been debating bringing my 43' Marine Trader down to FL, but realized i simply would not have time to take care of her (much less use her) while in law school.
I listed her on ebay, if any of you would like to take a peek:

Thanks everyone... and I hope to be back on here soon once law school quiets down...
 
I have noticed you MIA lately. Good luck with law school and your parents I believe live in Tampa area too. Being close to family can be a big plus as they age.

Are you still selling your Bert or did you bring it along for the move?
 
Hi Craig,
thanks for the kind words. Yes, I am now about a 45 minute drive from my parents' home - which is very nice to be close to them again (my Dad seems to be eating more and improving in health in the month since I moved to Tampa). I still have the Bertram 25' for sale as well in Boston, if anyone is interested. I was very tempted to bring the boats down here, but I'm happy I didn't, I'm barely keeping up with my studies as it is, with no hobbies, etc.
Cheers,
Phillip
 
Very nice looking boat and well presented. Best of luck in law school!

Before going to law skool, read a bunch of Grisham books.
 
Phillip:

Welcome to the wonderful world of law school. I would not want to do that nor the Bar Exam ever again.

Your mind will never be the same.

"Your mind will never be the same..." - I hope in a good way :-D
 
Thanks... she's still for sale if you're interested :D
 
...lawyers were the first profession ever. It is stated in the Holly Book on the first sentence:

“…In the Begin everything was chaos”

They had to have lawyers immediately, you see?

I dunno, I'm thinking "prostitution" was 1st and then came lawyers. Therefore “…In the Begin everything was chaos” makes even more sense.
Pun intended,.....................always! :D

P.S. What's a "Holly" book? :angel:

Hi Everyone,
just a reminder my boat is still up on Ebay, the auction ends today in a few hours. :)
 
Hope it goes smoothly for you. Keep us posted when the sale is complete. I hear a lot of e-bay buyers walk, Looks like someone is getting a great deal.

Take Care and much success in Fla. JohnP
 
Time's getting short, huh? As I write, you have 2 hours left on the auction, and apparently a number of bidders. Often there will be a flurry of activity right at the last minute, so you might be in for a surprise with a higher bid. The boat looks nice, but too big and too far away from me .. sorry!

Keep us posted.
 
It would break my heart if she sold for just $39k... I'd really be on the fence about just keeping her at that price and seeing what happens in my life with law school, and maybe paying a captain to bring her down to Tampa. I would never ever find another boat like her for $39k... not even close :(
 
I would hang on to her at that price. Can't live on her while in school?

Just wondering, if there is no reserve price, how can you back out?

Good Question?? You might need a Lawyer to do it!

Did this boat sell?
