2005 Mainship Pilot 34 Hardtop
Don’t miss this fantastic 2005 Mainship Pilot 34 Hardtop. “PARADISO” is the best equipped, upgraded, and wellmaintained example of a Mainship Pilot 34 on the market and won’t last long. This beautifully stylish, USCG documented vessel, with its rare forest green hull, is a perfect Great Loop cruising boat and is currently in fresh water on Lake Guntersville (Tennessee River) in Scottsboro, AL.
Extremely comfortable and livable on the inside, she is strong and reliable throughout. She has been meticulously maintained and she shows it. She has had many upgrades and options not found on other Mainship Pilot 34s, included a new Northern Lights 5kw generator, new full Garmin electronics suite, new Simrad VHF/AIS radio, a new Dometic A/C unit in the salon, replacement of all canvas and isinglass, and a new upsized Lewmar V1 electric windlass and its ground tackle. See the full list of maintenance and upgrades below.
With twin turbo charged Yanmar 240 hp diesels, bow and stern thrusters, close quarters maneuvering is a piece a cake even in less than desirable conditions. Mainship Pilots are very efficient boats, descendants of the lobster boats, these Downeast boats are fuel sippers only faster and with 250 gallons of fuel at 17 knots and 2500 rpm her estimated range is 450 miles. With a full deep keel and complete sand shoe protecting the running gear you can pilot shallow waters with confidence of stability and protection.
PARADISO is truly turnkey ready to take off on your next adventure!
