I agree. There are a bunch of Mainship 39's on the market. If there is one soft spot, there are more. Nice boat, keep looking.

I had an old 34 and did extensive repairs on the bridge. Mainship shipped the boats to the dealers with the flybridge, seats, etc removed.
The dealerships didn't caulk the screw properly ( or at all) when they reassembled the boats.
Many of the dealers were the same ones that sold the older models. So my bet is the bridge screws are leaking.

If otherwise a good deal... check yourself or have a surveyor or other check for more soft spots.
If one or two...and otherwise a good desl...certainly not show stoppers .
But keep others in mind if close in price...yet the may have hidden flaws you may not see for years...

thanks bmckinnon, I'll keep an eye on mine. the mast is in the center and there is a pretty good curve to the deck so there's no way for standing water to gather near the base of the mast.
