- Mainship 36 Dual Cabin -1986
I don't know how many there are of you out there, but I'll throw this in anyway,
I have a 1986 Mainship 36' Aft Cabin boat in better than average condition with a 7.5 KW generator which we never use except for starting and running every other week to keep it alive.
Would I de-value the boat if I were to remove this genny and recover the space with an additional 50 gallon water tank, larger holding tank, and an ElectraScan for areas where it would be legal? As cruisers, this would be more valuable to us. This would also reduce the weight on my stern somewhat.
I just bought a Honda EU2000i and that suits all of our needs. It burns about 1 gallon every 6 hours as opposed to the Kohler 7.5 burning about 1 gal an hour.
Thanks in advance
