1980 Mainship MK1 For Sale

This 1980 Mainship diesel Trawler is available for purchase.

The Perkins diesel engine is in great shape and should survey very well, as will the rest of the boat and her systems, the owner confirms. She is young, yet has been used -- which is good news for a Perkins diesel. And she has 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.

Schedule an appointment to come see her today!

Please note 7/28/22 The seller just dropped the price and is not negotiable. The boat is being sold as is, where is with no further reductions after the survey is performed.
The buyer can have a water trial but only the buyer pays for a licensed captain to skipper the boat! (seller lives out of state)
