The late 70's to late 80's 35' Chris Craft Catalinas can be had for low dollars. These are very roomy boats that are built like tanks. With small block gas motors, they don't eat alot of fuel if you cruise them slow.

Hi Cappy Yes, I did have a 3058. Great boat, we sold it to a fellow in Norway when we got our Mainship in 2003.

Someone photoshopped that top photo - here is what the actual car will look like:

Out of boot camp, my son served on the USGC Cutter Tahoma a few years ago. He's now in Nothern California playing around in the 47 footers training to be a surfman. The new cutter looks pretty awesome, I'm sure he would have liked a chance to serve on that one. The Tahoma:

Listing says it is sold..

"“GE could open this tech up to hacker spaces and license the technology to other companies who could invent new functions.” Ok, so now you would have to worry about your cooktop getting HACKED! On a side note, we bought a $60 single induction cooktop for our boat last year. They are...

With 300 turbo charged horses, I consider our 35' Mainship "extra", not "over" powered. Normal 8knot cruise we are probably only using a third of her power, while getting almost 3mpg. However, when called on, she can punch through the 15mph current of the Niagara River heading into Lake...

Glad to hear all is well! We will make sure we touch base with you before we start our voyage south, will probably be a year or two away. -Ron and Jane

Manufactured in USA can be imported with no duty as well. Part of the NAFTA agreement.

Al, the 454 (7.4l) Chevy block is a tough motor. Top rpm is really closer to 4400-4600, they can easily run 3800-4000 all day long. Fuel usage at those rpm's as you can imagine is about 20gph or more. We had a 454 single engine 30' Bayliner flybridge, did hundreds of hours on it with no...

That Tolly is sweet for only 14k. It has rebuilt engines and a diesel genny, why would you think about repowering? At hull speed that boat will probably get around 1.5 mpg, you could buy a heck of a lot of gasoline for what it would cost to repower with diesel. Just because it has gas...

Rafted with my son on the Niagara River. He got to spend sometime with us this summer while he towed his boat cross country from Long Island to Euraka, CA. He is serving in the USCG, currently getting qualified as a surfman. He carries on a long family tradition of boating and the love of...

Hi Bill Long time no see - how is everything? I see you still have your Mainship! Jane and I hope to move aboard and take off in a year or two, we'll have to get together when we head south. -Ron and Jane

1997 CAT 3116 in our Mainship 350 - ZERO failures in almost 2,000 engine hours. Change filters, impellers, belts, oil, antifreeze on a regular basis whether needed or not. Knock on wood!

No problems with our 1997 MS 350, hull #32. I think the factory was a little more careful with the earlier builds as far as QC goes.

Jamie Bill (ColonyCove) installed an articulated rudder on his MS 400. Here is a link to the company that makes them for the Mainships, I'm not sure if they do one for the Pilot series: Home Page Also, not sure what effect if any it has for following seas improvement, most people that...

We get all your water here in Buffalo when the wind blows out of the west. No problems here with shallow water!
