43' Mainship 430 Trawler

We were able to arrange to look at a 43' Mainship Trawler ($225,000). The boat was in fair shape and interesting. BB did not respond well to it. It may have been the time of day (late with flat light so the boat was a bit dull). It may have been the decoration (dated). Whatever, it didn't quite fit.

From a functional POV, it was generally OK. There were a couple of things about this particular boat that were issues. There was a very nice, read expensive, hardtop that was over 19' tall! There might be some issues with one of the engines. Storage was a bit tight. Otherwise a possible choice.

It is interesting but after looking at this I'm thinking a 45' aft cabin or a 40' sedan might be good choices.
