Hi All,
I am looking at a Mainship 350 in BC. I had thought that these were pretty nice trawlers, and then someone told me that they should be called MainlyShit versus Mainship! This individual said that they are difficult to operate in any heavy seas, and that in a stiff wind that they are like being in a sailboat. Also have heard that the materials used were so cheap that things that last for years in most boats are constantly needing replacing (e.g., taps on the bathroom sink).
So ... thought I would see who out there might have opinions agreeing/disagree with the info I had got? In comparison to Nordic Tug - is there any? In comparison to a CHB? Any thoughts appreciated as I don't want to even look if there is a big chance for buyers regret!!
