2002 Mainship 430 Trawler

For the last three years, we have been preparing our 2002 Mainship 430 for the ultimate adventure on the Caribbean and the Great Loop. However, our plans have changed. We are moving to Spain, and shipping such a large boat to Europe is too expensive (I received several quotes for that).

She is one of the best, if not the best, Mainship 430 out there because this is a FRESHWATER BOAT, engines are like new with very low hours (the original owner did not put many hours on her), we are the second owners, and we recently replaced and updated most of the systems.

DETAILS AND EQUIPMENT:
- Freshwater boat, which spent all her life around Alexandria, VA
- Twin Yanmar 6LYA-STP 370HP Diesel engines with less than 430 hours and good oil analysis done in August 2025
- Turn-key with full tanks of diesel (400 Gallons) and ready to go south
- Major preventive maintenance was done on both engines:
- All the heat exchangers on both engines were removed, taken apart, cleaned, the seals replaced, and pressure tested
- Both turbos on both engines were replaced with new ones. Old turbos are kept as spares.
- All injectors were replaced with new ones (tested and adjusted by a specialized company before installation)
- The whole bottom was soda-blasted, sanded, sealed with Interprotect, and painted with new antifouling in 2023
- New Vulcan (Rocna) 73LB anchor
- All new full-blown Victron-based electrical system with 3x 206Ah LiFePO4 Batteries (618 Ah total) with cloud-based remote monitoring,
- 4x 200A solar panels on the hard bimini (800A of solar)
- New Simrad chart plotters on the flybridge and at the lower helm
- The teak saloon floor was replaced last year
- The vinyl ceiling was replaced last year
- New vinyl floor in the owner's cabin
- New fridge (apartment size)
- New washer/dryer vented outside (also has a ventless mode)
- Dinghy crane installed in 2023
- 12v oil-change system connected to both engines and generator makes changing oil a 15-minute job
- Electric toilets are flushed with fresh water, so you'll never have to worry about stinky hoses
- Separate shower cabins in both heads (not wet heads)
- Lots of other updates and improvements ...

I'm a mechanical engineer running a marine repair business in Canada for many years, and my son is an electrical engineer. We ensured everything was done to high standards because the safety of our family depends on it.
