1985 Mainship 34 Motor Cruiser

The 1985 Mainship 34 Motor Cruiser is a fiberglass coastal cruiser powered by a single Perkins diesel engine of 200 horsepower. Built on proven principles of efficiency and practical design, this 34-footer offers straightforward handling and economical fuel consumption. The hull shows meticulous maintenance, with new bottom paint applied in 2025 and an engine log of 838 hours.

The layout maximizes livability within the boat's footprint. A spacious flybridge with full enclosure and bimini provides excellent visibility, while the large aft deck offers room for relaxing or entertaining. Below decks, the salon opens to natural light through large windows and features a fully appointed lower helm station. The galley runs along one side with generous storage and a new electric cooktop. Forward, a double berth in the stateroom provides comfortable sleeping quarters, and the head includes a separate shower stall—an uncommon feature for a boat of this size.

The yacht is equipped with a Horizon 600 windlass paired with a 33-pound Bruce anchor, 200 feet of chain, and 100 feet of line. A Side Power bow thruster operable from both upper and lower helm stations aids maneuverability. Heating is provided by a diesel hot water furnace. Spare parts for belts, filters, impellers, and other systems are included. The boat reflects consistent upkeep and presents a practical, honest design built to endure.
