• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Totally tricked out 34 Mk1 with NEW 5.9 Cummins, <400 hrs, 3.5KW genset <60hrs, bow thruster. All Garmin. All other systems renewed or replaced including panels and rewire, plumbing, interior and on and on and on. I have close to $100k in her, asking less than 1/2. Did much of the labor myself but boat parts alone.... Why do they not sell marine supplies by the troy ounce? It would be easier:facepalm:. BTW, 2 gallons an hour at 8 knots.
 
Should be an easy sell. Have you some pictures to post or a web link. Good luck with the sale.
 
Did you remove the lower helm? Nice boat I looked at Mainship MarkI, II and III's before settling on a full displacement Gulfstar 36.

I had the boat 2 years before I removed the lower helm. Never used it. I tried. I talked to a number of MS owners before I did. To a man they agreed they did not feel safe with piloting from below. Interestingly, 2 were from cold country, Michigan and Minnesota. I agreed. Added to the fact that there is not a side door next to the lower helm. Ya can bail from the bridge about as fast as you can exit the cabin for single handing for lines work and so forth. Lastly, for $200 or so you can get a remote for the auto pilot and drive the boat from anywhere on the boat. I would far prefer to have a shifter, throttle control in the cockpit and a remote for steering than the lower helm. Living aboard I needed the space and I removed all the silly fuses near the lower helm and put modern panels in for both ac and dc. The bridge is enclosed and has AC for a heater if necessary (in FL?). Two things on these boats...trim tabs?....Lower helm???? Seems like marketing ploys more than need. I have no use for either.
 
Thanks for the reply Mule, like you I have a Mainship only a 40 Sedan Bridge I highly customized it and I am trying to sell it. I had a total refit done between 2007 and 2009. Good luck with the sale. I'm on to my next boat a Gulfstar 36.

You certainly did it right when it came to repowering your Mainship. Well done I suspect it will sell rather quickly mainly due to the Cummins, the generator and many like a bow thruster.
Best of luck in her sale...
Bill
 
Well I sold my Mainship 40SB. I hope you do better than I did. Then again the boat had some cosmetic issues and was a Sandy vessel even though there was no water intrusion I had to prove it with a letter from my insurance carrier.
