I have an accepted offer in on a 2006 34T, but have not yet finalized the deal. The boat has a few stanchion issues, such as one of four stanchion bolts appearing to be stripped on a number of the stanchions, and most of the aft flybridge stanchions are loose. Does anyone know what is backing...

I have an accepted offer in on a 2006 34T, but haven't finalized the deal yet. The rudder is bent about 3/4 inch to starboard. It looks like the rudder was hard over when a previous skipper backed the boat into something other than water. We sea trialled the boat and it didn't appear to affect...

We put an offer in on a 2006 MS 34. We looked at the Camano 31. Our reasons for not pursuing one was the difficulty in getting around on the boat for those of us that are starting to have mobility issues and can't climb ladders or hang on and hope not to slip on a 6" side deck. As far as the...

Hello all, My wife and I have an accepted offer in on a 2006 MS 34. Its in MD and if we close the deal, I plan to drive it back. It will be a large run from MD to the Florida west coast (near St Petersburg). This trip obviously requires some planning, and I'd like to start with realistic...

My wife and I are looking to purchase a 390 asap here in Florida. We looked at one a couple of days ago, and the flybridge floor was sponge. The entire aft end was spongy and this carried through to the back half of the flybridge sitting area. My question is, is this a common issue with the...

Steve, thanks for the info. It got me looking at Camano's as an option - a boat I hadn't been considering. It very well could be a better option for us given that a MS 34 is right at the limit of my lift's capacity. You said you had the Camano for 4 years. Why did you sell it, and what from...

The lift people will come back and help set things up once I get the boat. Just trying to be pro-active so that when the day comes there are no surprises like "we didn't expect that much dead rise", etc.

Hello all, My wife Caren and I (David) are about to be trawler owners (if you call semi-displacement a trawler) hopefully in the near future. We have installed a 24K lb lift off the back of our house so we are limited to a boat about 20K lb dry. For a lot of reasons our current top choice is...

Thanks everyone for the responses thus far! Anyone have a front view drawing of the MS 34 (2005+) showing the height from bottom of the 'V' (the deadrise)?

I just had a 24,000lb boat lift installed off the back of my house on the West side Florida intercostal. The intention is to lift a yet-to-be-purchased Mainship 34. Has anyone setup lift bunks for a Mainship 34? My concern is that my lift came with a straight lower beams with 12" high bunks...
