Available Now: Mainship 430 (major refit 2023-2025)
However, our plans have changed; we are moving to Spain and have to sell our Mainship.
I'm pretty sure she is one of the best, if not the best, Mainship 430 out there because:
- Freshwater boat, which spent all her life around Alexandria, VA
- Engines are like new with under 450 hours. The original owner did not put many hours on her, and we are the second owners
- As a part of the refit, we replaced and updated most of the systems on the boat, making it an ultimate "Loop machine".

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)

- New dinghy crane installed in 2023
- 12v oil-change system connected to both engines and generator makes changing oil a 15-minute job
