I'm interested in a 1997 39' Mainship 350 Trawler Twin Diesels. Has anyone had any experience with this yacht? Also wondering what I can expect for fuel consumption as I plan to cruise at about 8 knots/hr.
What type of engines? I have twin 453 Detroit diesels in my 1981 Grand Banks and get about 4 gallons per hour at 8mph. Generator also running part of the time.
I have a '99 Mainship 350 Trawler with the 4 cylinder Yanmar 230 hp engines. I average almost 2mpg with the generator running. I also run it at 8.5 knots most of the time. Happy to answer any other questions you may have about the boat.
