See Marlow-Mainship section (even though your model isn't one of the Mainship "trawlers" it'll probably be as close as you can get here), and there's a Mainship owners group on Yahoo! somewhere too.
Often it helps to start the discussion topic yourself: post about an issue you're working on, they will come. (And often, boat issues are semi-generic, not totally brand-specific anyway. Example: we all have engines...)

Dan:
Welcome to the forum. You will find that this group will have a wealth of information and 99% of it is not boat specific.
But in all honesty the Yahoo Group does have more Mainship owners who hang out there and if you have a specific question about your boat, then ask there. You have to join to be able to read or post, so go to Yahoo Groups at groups.yahoo.com and look up the mainship group and ask to join.
But do participate in this forum. It is much more user friendly than Yahoo.

Welcome aboard TF
I second what David said
I do monitor the YahooMS group but do most of my posting here on TF due to wealth of info and user friendly features.
The members and modrators here will be glad to assist new members getting comfortable w the features.

Welcome, Dan.
Fire it up. What is on your to-do, to-solve list?
As Chris has mentioned many problems are boat generic.
Throw out some pictures. The peanut gallery here is NUTS for pictures!
Dave.

Mainship
Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to the discussions and feed back. I love talking boats, especially my own but always interested in anything boating. I just brought my boat down the ct river today to return it to Westbrook, Ct. Had to leave it in Essex for a couple of days due to small craft advisory. Was a beautiful trip on LI sound.Probably more than you wanted to know. I will start to come up with my questions and pictures.
Thanks,
Dan

Start new thread?
Not sure how to start new thread, but here is my question:
We have an 03 pilot 34 hard top. Thinking of rigging some sort of covering for the aft cockpit, has anyone done this, and can I see pictures?

This used to be my boat, see pic below. The bimini has a typical SS tubing frame with two cross members that give it lateral stability. Works great to hang out in the aft cockpit on a sunny afternoon.
If I were building it again I would extend it another foot or so aft.

Our pilot has a similar Bimini which extends over the entire back. Stainless arc supported by 2 poles mounted on back transforms. It zips on the arc so we can roll it up when not in use and underway. We are looking at having removable side sun screens made this winter.
