• 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.

  • 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.

Asking $23,900, open to reasonable offers.

I have been renovating this boat to make it seaworthy and have greatly enjoyed the process. All mechanical systems have been rebuilt or restored. Boat is completely functional and can be cruised today. A complete log, from 2016 thru current, will convey with receipts for all work done and materials used. Also, hundreds of pictures documenting the work done.

Starting in August 2016, Engine room was gutted, cleaned and painted. New Mueller plastic fuel tanks installed. Ford Lehman 120HP was rebuilt and reinstalled. Northern Lights M643 genset was rebuilt and reinstalled. Mechanical steering was upgraded to Hynautic hydraulic system, new rudder has been installed. Sanitation systems rebuilt and holding tank added. Air conditioning system installed. New batteries, battery wiring, battery charger have been installed. New shaft log installed. And many other mechanical system improvements. Boat has Garmin 740 GPS with 2 stations, and Garmin depth finder. Handheld VHF, Propane control system, stereo system, TV/DVD in Salon.

Current main engine hours are 2524 and was rebuilt at 2259. Current genset hours are 3211 and was rebuilt at 3022. Boat will continue to be used, so actual hours will be higher.

Fuel capacity 104 gallons.
Water capacity, estimated 120 gallons.
Holding tank capacity, 13 gallons.

Structural and cosmetic, the hull sides and top sides were repainted with Brightside. Aft cabin sliding hatch/cabin top replaced. New headliner panels and teak trim installed in aft cabin. New swim platform installed, new cap rail on the fwd port side installed. New Sampson's post fabricated and installed.

Remaining items needing attention. The decks have several soft spots. I have not addressed these, therefore the decks were not painted. I have a windlass that has not been installed.

Please feel free to ask additional questions, jwagner@servicetoday-inc.com

Thanks,
Josh 20190920_190009.jpeg20190920_190513.jpeg20190920_195316.jpeg20190920_194234.jpeg20190920_195712.jpeg20190920_195853.jpegIMG_20161029_114714507.jpg1904.jpeg20190920_194926.jpeg20190920_194509.jpeg20190920_193234.jpeg
 
Sorry, I forgot to list the location. The boat is located on a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, Choptank River in Trappe Md.
 
Hey there do you have any pictures of the boat and how much are you asking for it
 
I sold my 1973 MT34 two years ago for a comparable price. With your engine and genset rebuilds, new tanks, steering and other upgrades, I’m guessing this one won’t last long unless there’s a serious issue with the decks.
Curious why you’re selling after putting that much $$/effort.
 
How long ago did you repaint with Brightside and how is it holding up?
 
Sorry for the delay answering. Brightside was done fall-winter of 2016. Matterhorn White is holding up well, everything was primed first with a 2-part epoxy, Interprotect 2000e. The red boot stripe did not adhere well at the boot strip (starting to peel in some locations) and will be redone this spring. The same red seems fine at the cove stripe, so I assume some water intrusion between the layers. Overall I would reccomend based on my experience at this point.
 
Update, reduced asking price to $18,000. Fresh bottom paint and zinc, exterior teak has been cleaned and oiled in May. Boat is in the water and ready for sea trails, come take a look. Currently located in Trappe, Maryland at Ferry Point Marina. Slip is paid thru November 2020 and is included. Updated pictures coming soon.
 
Boat has sold, congratulations to the new owner.

Thanks for all interest.
Josh
