    • 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)

  • 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.

This ocean, great loop-ready MarkII trawler is well fitted with twin Perkins model 4.236 diesel 85hp each engine in perfect running condition and an onboard generator and dual Cruise Air Conditioners. Survey available and just completed on December 21, 2020, with an insured value of $35,000. The original price in 1973 was $35,000 and in today's dollars Is $205,000.

The well-respected Gulfstar 36 is a “graceful aft-cabin trawler” offering a mix of “simplicity, comfort, and seaworthiness.” The bow is tall, and there’s plenty of freeboard from stem to stern. There’s a flybridge helm station (in addition to a lower helm in the saloon) that gives good sightlines around the boat. Wide side decks and rails all around are a plus for safety. Dot Calm includes a davit system for easy storage and launching of the dinghy.

Gulfstar Yachts was a large manufacturer of fiberglass sailboats and powerboats built in the Tampa Bay, Florida area from 1970 until 1990 when Viking Yachts purchased the company's assets.[1] Vince Lazzara, one of the pioneers of fiberglass sailboat construction, founded the company. Lazzara had previously been one of the founders of Columbia Yachts.[2] They produced both power from 36 to 72 feet and sailboats from 36 to 63

The aft air-conditioned cabin stateroom, with its dual twin-sized berths, offset to starboard and plenty of walk-around space. This cabin is the reason so many cruisers choose the Gulfstar 36. There is a large hanging locker to starboard and drawers and storage lockers under each bed. The adjacent head includes a separate shower. The second stateroom is forward, with a large V-berth. New teak replaced December 2020.

The main air-conditioned saloon has a port settee and double leaf teak table. Forward is the open galley. Equipment includes a refrigerator/freezer, a four-burner stove/oven, and a stainless-steel sink.

That does look like a nice, clean Gulfstar 36. Good luck with your sale.
 
I updated the features and I learned that the price was too low. Although I may end up lowering it. The original price in 1973 was $35,000 and in today's dollars Is $205,000.
 
I think your second price of 44K is more realistic and quite appropriate to ask. I recently sold (2018) our 1975 CHB 34 here in Oz for 45K and it was not as good as your vessel. Best of luck with that.

PS. Would you like me to go in and amend the original price to the present price, so there's no confusion, Mike..?

Thanks, I already have 4 showings this weekend. On a holiday weekend too!
