    • 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:

  • 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.

Folks,

Click on the name of the Poster, then select "Send a private message to <UserName>"

Incidentally, survey's are the responsibility of the buyer, not the seller. Seller's don't get survey's and rarely get a copy of the survey paid by some prospective buyer.
 
We would also be interested in the 390. We are in Fort Myers so previewing the boat is easy. Can you reply via private message or forward additional pictures or any other information regarding condition, maintenance, electronics, hull, etc. All is greatly appreciated thanks. MD.

Lovely boat. Is it still available and is there viewing plates in the swim platform to make certain it is not filled with water?

Yes. Starting with the 2003 model year, the swim platform was redesigned to eliminate the 'foam filling' and include access ports.


2002 and earlier boats may have had the ports added after-the-fact.


Send me a private message if you are interested in seeing the boat.


Thanks!
 
Hi - I'm interested in your Mainship. I'd like to make an appointment to come see it. My only questions are how many hours are on the generator and what size chain does your windlass accept, 5/16" or 3/8".

My name is Lee Hackney, I'm in St. Augustine. My number is (904) 707-9954. My email is leehackney1@gmail.com. I have cash and I'm not a tire kicker.

Thank you. - Lee Hackney
 
I've been looking for a 390 in good shape. Yours sounds nice. Is it still for sale? How many owners has this boat had?
 
River Guy, is your yacht still available?
thanks

We hate to do it, but it's time to sell...


Our Mainship is one of the later production 390 models, built at the peak of their popularity. By the time this one was built, Mainship had added a number of customer-driven features and upgrades, and had the benefit of more than five years and almost 400 hulls worth of experience in perfecting the design. She has all of the most popular options including the Stainless Steel Sampson Post, single Yanmar engine with bow-thruster, Cherry-and-Holly sole and the (rare) folding mast.

Hi all,

Among them are the Factory "Rigging Manuals" that detail the process of final assembly of boats that were shipped after unloading them from the trailer. This includes installing the upper flybridge including all of the railings, mast, helm station and controls, etc.

For shipping a used Mainship, all you have to do is reverse the procedure.

This is a great resource for anyone thinking about shipping a Mainship 350 - 390. With this document, you should be able to get a very accurate estimate from a boatyard for the cost of prepping the boat for shipping.

It is also great for understanding how the superstructure is built and the critical joints that prevent water leaks.

I also have others including the MS40, 400 and the 35. I do not have these for any of the older Mainships.

The manual is huge (nearly 100 photos) and covers:

If you need the manual or if you are thinking of buying and shipping a Mainship, you will need this manual.

I've attached the sample with the TOC and a couple of photos. It is too large to upload the whole thing here, please send me a private message if you need this for the MS350/390/40/400.

Hi all,


I've had a few of inquiries from potential buyers for our MS390 wanting to know what is involved in shipping it by truck.

Before we bought our 390, I tracked down Jim Krueger (former G.M. of Mainship) and he provided a number of factory documents that were only available to dealers.
