Folks, I am (very) reluctantly selling my repowered 1984 Mainship MK III. I had visions of 7+ day cruising vacations with my young family, but them, um, not so much. My boys and wife love the water and boating every weekend, but they want to sleep in their own beds each night (for the most part). Between that, and their sports eating up one weekend-day per week, getting something for quick day trips and occasional overnights makes the most sense for now (likely a 30" Grady White - trades welcome!). I bought the boat in 2012, and it was in immaculate condition when I bought it - same owner for 25+ years. He had installed phenomenal custom seating on the bridge - an "L" from starboard to aft on bridge - that 100% "makes" this boat better than every other one I have seen. Over the last 5 years I have done everything that could be done to upgrade it to a real cruising boat, including a repower, bow thruster, autopilot, new electronics, battery banks and charging system, etc. The wiring on this boat is a thing of beauty. There is no wood in the cockpit - I pulled out all of that marine plywood that was under the overhang (on either side of the sliding door, as well as the cabinets and above on the starboard and port sides) and had it all replaced with starboard, including new cabinet doors, etc. I also replaced the swim platform. We put in a custom bow cushion, replaced the interior carpet, reupholstered and recushioned the pull out couch and got a new memory foam mattress (that was $$$). We have literally run out of things to do to the boat, and were starting to look at random cosmetic stuff. I haven't put out an ad yet, but will soon. I'm going to ask $45,000 - mine is the only repowered Mainship on the market, everything else comes with a 20-30 year old engine. My "top of my head" list of stuff I've upgraded in the last 5 years is below - if you're interested, email me at bflewis@lewisjohs.com. Boat is on Long Island, New York.
