1980 Mainship MK1 For Sale

Please see the Condition section below for recent updates on this Mainship.

This 1980 Mainship diesel Trawler is available for purchase.

This 1980 Mainship is powered by a Perkins diesel that is young yet has been used -- which is good news for a Perkins diesel.

The boat is equipped with a Stern Thruster.

There is ample space inside the cabin and outside on the aft deck and the flybridge. Her V-berth is comfortable, accompanied by her full head. The head is the more desirable Vacuflush, which is a better choice, especially for a liveaboard!

The galley is well appointed with a refrigerator, stove, sink and plenty of cabinet space and most are in good working order, except for the stove that does not work.

There is a water maker on board and an ice maker, making living aboard much more comfortable.

The Salon is comfortable with a lower helm and a jackknife couch that pulls out to create an additional berth.

The aft deck includes a full-screen enclosure to help keep you cool when sitting out on the lower deck.

The upper bridge deck is spacious and will accommodate you and your guests, perfect for entertaining. The electronics are all in good working order, and the autopilot is within a few years old.

This boat is ideal for local day trips and entertaining, as well as cruising your local waters and trips to the Bahamas (she has visited the Bahamas often). She is also perfect as a loop boat.

This boat is currently being worked on. She is on the hard in a marina in Ft. Pierce getting a slow leak in the hull repaired. She also needs a starter and alternator, and the electrical system inside needs to be rewired.

The seller will consider "as is offers" but if he completes all the repairs necessary - he will be raising his asking price.

Seller spent 9k after purchasing the boat in late 2021:
Full bottom job done (needs again)
New custom teak swim platform
New Garmin gps/chartplotter/radar with large screen
Rewired upstairs helm with new usb charger ports
New water pumps
New inflatable mattress
And added a second trickle charger for the batteries
new solenoids and ignitions up and down.
New large inverter
The whole bilge was professionally cleaned
A new hand-built teak swim platform was also added.

The Air conditioner is about 3 years old.

As on most older Mainships, there are some soft spots on the bow and the aft deck.
