This Mainship 34 Trawler is better than new! Extensive post factory outfitting has been done to create the perfect Great Loop/ Bahamas long term cruiser. These improvements took a year in and out of service yards, countless owner hours, and in excess of $30,000 to complete.
Vessel Walk Thru
Board on the traditional full beam swim platform, step through the transom door to a large covered cockpit. Molded stairs lead to a beautiful fly bridge which features a large L-shaped lounge to port, a bench seat to starboard both with ample storage under. Forward at the fly bridge an adjustable pedestal mounted ultra leather captains chair, full engine controls, gauges and electronics. Aft on the fly bridge is an open sun deck with a folding mast storage cradle, vented propane locker and 112 quart Waeco deep freezer.
Entering the salon through dual swinging bulkhead doors with retractable insect screen, there is a carpeted sole, padded hull sides and headliner, custom valances, mini blinds and custom furniture. To port there is custom cherry end table with an AC/DC refrigerator freezer and a large sofa with lined storage under. Center are twin Rattan ottomans with storage. First to starboard there is a Flat panel Satellite television, further forward is a Rattan occasional table with wine rack storage under that is flanked by two custom Rattan lounge chairs. Further forward to port is a breakfast bar with storage under. Forward to Starboard there is a custom built cherry storage locker.
Three steps down is a U-shaped galley to port. The galley has plenty of storage including slide out drawers, a tilt out garbage bin, and bins under the galley sole. The large head is to starboard with access from salon and private access from the owner's stateroom. There is an big acrylic shower stall with molded in seat, vacuflush head, and Corian counter tops.
Further forward is the Master Stateroom that includes a queen island berth, cedar lined hanging lockers, and under berth drawer and storage compartment, flat panel satellite television and AM/FM/CD/DVD player complete the stateroom.
The engine compartment is accessed by lifting the molded fly bridge steps. All maintenance points are conveniently located. Full access around the engines and generator is provided.
Post Factory Outfitting
This Mainship 34 Trawler is better than new! Extensive post factory outfitting has been done to create the perfect Great Loop/ Bahamas long term cruiser. These improvements took a year in and out of service yards, countless owner hours, and in excess of $30,000 to complete.
Galley:
Out of the factory, Mainships galley features a 12volt/120volt refrigerator that is insuffienent for long term cruising. We have solved this problem by adding a second 12volt/120volt refrigerator in the main salon. This refrigerator is attractively installed in a custom end table aft the salon settee. For freezer space, a 112 quart freezer has been installed on the fly bridge. This unit is also capable of operating on either 12volts/ or 120/volts. This fantastic unit has the flexibility to be used as either a third refrigerator or a deep freeze freezer. The bridge freezer also features a custom cover to protect it from harmful UV rays.
The Mainship 34 trawler is equipped from the factory with a stove and microwave. On this Mainship the microwave has been removed and replaced with a combination microwave/ convection/toasting oven significantly expanding your cooking abilities aboard.
The addition of under cabinet lighting over the stove and food prep area make after dark supper and pre dawn coffee easier to prepare.
Storage
For a 34 foot boat the Mainship Trawler is already equipped with an impressive amount of storage however long term cruisers can never have enough storage. Forward of the starboard pilot door a very large custom cabinet has been installed. Because the cabinet was constructed from wood purchased directly from Mainship at the time the vessel was built the installation is an exact match to the rest of the vessels interior. This furniture quality upgrade provides ideal storage for charts, cruising guides, clothing.you name it!
An attractive wine storage locker was added to the salon and two rattan ottomans replace the useless hi/lo table (although the hi/lo table is available) for additional storage and comfort.
Entertainment and creature comforts
Satellite Television. As much fun as you will have on your cruise, watching the sun set and socializing with other boaters eventually you will want to catch up on the news, see a weather map or just watch a movie on a rainy afternoon. This Mainship has been equipped with the KVH 4 tracking satellite antenna. Mounted on a professionally reconfigured mast this antenna can receive either DirecTV or Dish Network programming while docked, at anchor or underway. The vessel has been equipped with flat panel televisions in both the main salon and the Master Stateroom and wired so that both receive the Satellite signal. The original off air antenna and dockside cable remain onboard and fully functional if you prefer to watch television from either of those sources.
Stereo/ DVD Players. In the salon the audio output has been integrated with the factory installed stereo/DVD player dramatically improving the sound quality. A second factory installed stereo/DVD player is located in the stateroom. Both units are Sirius satellite radio ready.
Window covers. The factory equips the 34 trawler with mesh window covers for the windshield and forward windows and starboard helm door. In addition this Mainship also has custom sunbrella covers for these locations providing relief from the sun on hot summer days protecting the interior from fading when the vessel is not in use. We have further improved the window covers by modifying the center cover and starboard door cover to allow them to be opened and closed with their covers on.
Helm seat. From the factory the Mainship 34 Trawler usually comes equipped with three helm seats across the bridge. They were small and terribly uncomfortable. Certainly not conducive for the many hours a long term cruiser spends behind the helm. So, this vessel was ordered without the factory seats and later equipped with a top of the line Ultra leather Crown Helm Seat with an adjustable base. A mates chair can still be added as the factory installed base plates are in the deck.
Tilt Helm. For further comfort, and to accommodate standing at the helm from time to time the original helm was replaced with an adjustable tilt helm.
Electrical systems
The Mainship Trawler is well constructed craft and for the money it represents one of the best values on the market today. However, as is common with mass production boats there are some things that the manufacturer either overlooks or makes a business decision not address. For instance, the only way to charge the generator starting battery is to run the generator. If the generator battery is dead your in the bilge with jumper cables. On this Mainship these types of oversights have been corrected/ improved or enhanced to create the ultimate great loop/ long term cruising vessel.
The generator starting battery has been wired to the battery charger that serves the main house batteries.
The inverter battery bank has been integrated with the house batteries by means of a smart relay. This relay enables the engine alternators to recharge the inverter battery without running the generator. Makes the inverter battery capacity available to the house appliances and house batteries available to the inverter. However, the relay will isolate the banks when the either bank is drained down 40% to insure that both banks dont end up dead.
A parallel switch has been added to enable the inverter batteries to be used to start the main engines.
Through hulls.
The raw water intakes for the main engines, generator and saltwater wash down are all protected by excellent sea strainers at the factory. However, they can still clog especially when transiting areas with heavy grass, and weeds (think canals) or trash (think large city harbors) the best way to prevent damage to raw water pumps and insure that engines, generator or air conditioners dont ever over heat at the worst possible moment is to prevent debris from entering the sea strainer. This vessel has been equipped with external hull strainers on each of its raw water intakes.
Anchoring
The Mainship raw water if ordered from the factor (as an upgrade) is located in the aft cockpit. Great for fishing, but doesnt help you wash that muddy anchor chain and rode upon retrieval. Like the water intake above, the best way to keep your Mainship clean is to prevent dirt from every getting aboard. This Mainship has been equipped with a flush mount raw water wash down at the bow.
Dinghy storage
When transiting the locks of the Trent/ Severn or crossing the gulf stream on your way to the Bahamas it is not practical or safe to tow a dinghy. The factory does not equip the 34 Trawler with a way to carry a dinghy. After factory delivery this Mainship was equipped with St Croix stainless steel davits. The davits are off centered to port in order to allow use of the transom door even when a dinghy is stowed.
Electronics
If you buy your electronics from Mainship, they like every other production builder will equip you boat with Ray Marine Electronics. Ray Marine is acceptable but far from top of the line.
This Mainship has been equipped with a 10 inch Northstar 6000i. Simply put the Northstar is the best, most intuitive and reliable chart plotter/radar/ and recording depth sounder/fish finder on the market.
For a VHF radio an Icom 502 was selected.. Again Icom is the best most respected radio manufacturer in the industry. The 502 is Digital Selective Calling (DSC) ready and features a channel tuning knob not those tedious channel up/down buttons. In addition the large display indicates the type of use designation for each channel.
Finally, this Mainship has been equipped with a Ray Marine autopilot. Yes, Ray Marine, Ray Marine auto pilots are simple to operate and I have had years of trouble free duty from my Raytheon Marine auto pilot on my prior boat so why mess with success?
This wonderful Mainship 340 is ready for adventure. It currently lies on the well protected dock behind the owners canal home in Palm Coast, FL. It can remain there until you are ready to begin you 07 or 08 cruise or alternatively the owner, a licensed captain can deliver the boat to location of you choice.
Model History
The 340 Trawler went into production in 2005 and remains in full production today. Mainship offers the 340 as a single stateroom and less expensive alternative to the 400 Trawler but with some unique features. First of all you will notice that there are no engine hatches in the salon sole or in the cockpit sole. To isolate engine room noise from the salon, Mainship has given engine room access from beneath hinged stairs going to the fly bridge. When it comes to quietness, the 340 Trawler is the benchmark in this size range. In the engine room, Mainship has outdone themselves; by moving the fuel tank all the way forward against the forward bulkhead, they have completely opened up the space giving outstanding access to the mechanical gear; this has to be the best engine room arrangement in it's class. Modifications over the first 2 years of production have been very minor. In fact, other than upholstery, it is difficult to tell a 2005 model from a 2007 model.
Construction
Mainship uses tried and true construction techniques. The boats are made with E-glass fiberglass woven roving and polyester resin. The hull is laid up with a solid fiberglass bottom and the hull sides are cored with balsa above the waterline. The superstructure is solid glass with balsa cored decks. The stringer system is made of marine grade plywood and is completely encapsulated in fiberglass
