    Considering buying 82 Mainship 34

    We love our 79 Mainship 34 MKII, they are great boats! One day we too may go the Cummins route. But for now the old Perkins still chugs along. Good luck!

He loves riding on the fly bridge, mostly just sleeps on my feet. We have friends with a Mainship aft cabin, and I personally am...

    Thanks! All together with the washing machine it added about 225 pounds to that side. The starboard list was caused from the starboard fuel tank being full and the port was at 1/4 full. To offset the new washer/helm I moved the water tank from the center to the starboard side where the water...
