- 1978 Mainship Trawler 34'
Hello everyone from Cape Cod! My husband and I have a 1978 34’ Mainship Trawler that we have loved for 19 years now. The first thing we did after the first season was to upgrade the Perkins to a 315 Yanmar. Cruising at 8 knots was just too slow! We cruise at 12-15 now and have a bow thruster so we really enjoy the ride. Thinking of buying something newer and considering the Mainship 34’ and 400 trawlers. My question is on the ride. We have the issue with rolling from side to side especially in a following sea. Wondering if the newer models have addressed this issue or if it is still evident in these newer models year 2000 and newer. Our beam is 12’ and the newer models are 14 plus so hoping that helps some. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks! Cait
