    • 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:

    • 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.

  • 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.

I have a 1978 Mk1 34 with re-engined Perkins Turbo. Bow thruster, full canvas. In the water near Annapolis, MD. For the last year I have not been able to use the boat due to illness and I need to sell it. I can no longer care for the boat and while mechanically good, it needs TLC.
I am asking $25,000 as is. Contact me at digital_djs@hotmail.com. if interested and I can provide details.
 
Photos and Details

Description and features:

· Mainship 34 Mk1 Trawler , built by Silverton / Mainship 1978
· Westerbeke Marine generator engine 3 cylinder diesel 5kw
· Extended Flybridge
· Re-engine in 1985 with Perkins marine diesel T6.354.4 240 Hp turbo
· Has original inside layout
· Full size V-berth with single bunk above
· Queen size sleeper sofa
· Electric Bow thruster
· Spare Prop
· Basic electronics, VHF, GPS, etc.
· Custom, full flybridge enclose and canvas, plus matching weather cloth
· Swim platform
· New electric flush toilet
· Pressurized water system
· Full standing / seated shower
· Dual power marine refrigerator
· Dual cycle electric air conditioner / heater
· Basic engine / generator service spare parts, filters , etc.
· Dripless shaft seal on prop shaft
· Pilot position on flybridge and inside salon console
· Twin 6 volt golf cart batteries for house / backup start
· 12 volt marine batteries for generator starting and bow thruster
· Battery switch / combiner
· Upgraded alternator on main engine.
· Shore power battery charger for all batteries
· Electric stove / oven. Microwave.

TLC needed and other notes:
· Generator needs water pump seal
· Two areas of “soft deck” one on port front of flybridge, another on starboard foredeck about 2/3rds forward.
· Bilge pumps / float switches should be replaced. Parts are on boat but not installed.
· One light switch on inside pilot console needs to be replaced (I think it’s the salon lights)
· Lock on sliding salon door works but is old and worn, should be replaced.
· Engine heat exchanger core needs to be removed and cleaned. Engine temperature rises when at full power.
· Batteries are 3 or more years old and will need replacement soon
· Need to be hauled, bottom and prop cleaned and bottom paint re-applied
· Toilet does not flush properly because there is a blockage in the piping from toilet to holding tank. Piping needs to be replaced. I have been unable to unclog this and I suspect there is calcium deposits that cannot be removed due to age of the tubing.
· Anchor rode is aging and should be replaced soon

The boat is currently in the water near Annapolis, MD, but is scheduled for haul out, cleaning and winter storage before the end of October.

I am no longer able to maintain or use the boat so I need to sell and am willing to sell as is for $25,000.

I believe the boat is very usable with minor repairs and maintenance. A few things need immediate attention, such as the generator water pump. Others are optional, but I noted them as I had them on my punch list.

Too bad you didn't post this a week or so earlier, I was in Annapolis for the show. Do you have a few more pictures? I just started seriously looking at these boats.

I'm sorry at this time I don't have more pictures, but I can take some during haul out. I will be having things fixed off my punch list during winter storage and the price will go up accordingly.
 
The soft deck spots are very common in boats of this age. They were there in when I bought the boat 7 years ago and have not caused a problem, but you can repair them if you are good with epoxy and fiberglass. There are very detailed guides on how to re-core parts or all of the flybridge on the yahoo Mainship group.
 
Since considering this particular boat/make/model, I found the info that you referred too on Yahoo Mainship group. It really doesn't scare me that much. Did you paint the hull blue or was it that color when you bought it?

I had it painted after I bought the boat several years ago. It has the original white gel-coat underneath.
