- 1978 Mainship 34 Trawler #95
I finally was able to get aboard it this afternoon.
Its a 1978 Mainship Trawler, #95 off the production line.
The engine is a Volvo TAMD 41, 200hp turbocharged, age and hours unknown but grapevine says it was replaced 3 or 4 years ago. NO LOGS. Wiring and hosing need to be cleaned up (real rats nest). Engine needs cleaning and paint. But it does start and run good. 210 gallons fuel tankage in split tanks. 40 gallons fresh water. Electric stove
Wiring needs cleaning up (spaghetti bowl), only engine instruments and demountable GPS and Radio, but nothing like I would want. NO RADAR. NO WATERMAKER (But I have both in my garage!!), last bottom job 3 years ago & needs cleaning now .
Exterior looks pretty good, bilge is dry in engine bay but stuffing box leaks 15 drips a minute (needs work), doesnt smell of diesel.
Interior is tacky and needs a lot of TLC. Main cabin floor needs replacing,usable, but looks bad. Rug for now.
Asking $27K. since its being offered as down payment on a house, I may take it.
