1995 MAINSHIP 31 SEDAN BRIDGE

CHECK OUT MY BEAUTIFUL HARD TO FIND  MAINSHIP 31 SEDAN BRIDGE WITH A LOW 284  HOURS!! I AM THE 3^RD OWNER OF THIS BEAUTIFUL FRESH WATER BOAT. HAVE YOUR OWN CONDO ON THE WATER! WELL MAINTAINED AND ALWAYS INSIDE HEATED STORED! The 31 Sedan Bridge is a very stylish boat.

But step aboard, and you can’t help but be impressed. The wide transom platform 11.11 foot beam (with pull-out swim ladder) on the extended swim platform makes boarding easy, and you pass through a gate into the spacious cockpit which has twin padded lounge seats on both sides. A patio-style sliding door leads to the very spacious salon, Corian Counters, with a stainless sink and new chrome faucet with extendable wand. To starboard is a curved settee “couch” that can seat eight for entertaining and then converts to a full-sized double bed .With a 32 inch smart TV and dvd is opposite for easy viewing. Digital Climate control panels for the Forward and Aft ac/heat systems!

To port is a full length galley area with a two-burner electric range, Panasonic microwave, Brand New Dometic AC/DC refrigerator/freezer in 2021, and drawers or lockers above and below the Corian countertop. Headroom in the salon is 6’5″ which, combined with the white bulkheads and opening windows, creates a spacious and airy “living room”.

Down one step forward are the staterooms, with a guest cabin to port with upper and lower berths “bunk beds” and a hanging locker. A cleverly hidden 12v fluorescent panel acts as an overhead skylight and, along with the opening port and window, keeps the area from being crowded. a/c and heat vents as well.

Forward is the master stateroom with what Mainship calls a queen-sized berth,”bed” a hanging locker, and drawer storage under the berth. The berth is six-sided,  large and the high-density foam mattress is quite comfy. Brand New 24 inch smart TV in master as well!

To starboard of the guest cabin is the molded fiberglass head with shower, overhead LED lighting, Par electric toilet, Corian vanity and twin doors to allow private access to the forward cabin as well as the salon.

The Mainship is Powered by standard 2 -EFI 350 Marine Power gas V-8s with only 284 hrs that produce 270 HP each with black-box controlled fuel injection, driving through Hurth V-drives that create a very compact power package since the shaft logs are located directly under the engines. Once the heavy cockpit sole hatch is propped up there’s a surprising amount of space in the engine room. A wide walkway separates the two engines and there’s good access to all the systems. New Groco Sea Strainers Optional installed in 2021, Engine and Transmissions serviced regularly.

As far as the plumbing and electricals, Mainship has done a good job of neatly routing all the systems, and you have good access to the get coated bilge, prop shafts, and rudder posts. Construction, by the way, is the typically high quality of the Mainship-Luhrs-Silverton family of boat builders. The hull is solid fiberglass, with the interior liner fitted out separately and then dropped into place, where it is held by fiberglass tabs.

You’ll be running the 31 from the bridge, since there’s no inside helm, but the flybridge is a good example of Mainship’s creative design work. From the cockpit, you ascend a curved staircase (rather than the usual steep ladder) to a bridge far larger than you’d expect on a 31-footer. A pair of L-shaped guest seats are to starboard and port, while the helm is on a raised platform to port.

A full complement of Faria white-faced gauges, Garmin 9 inch Gps Chartplotter and Fishfinder with Blue Chart Chip with auto route guidance! Marine vhf radio, new fire Ext throughout, Sony bluetooth Audio with 4 Kicker Marine 8 inch Led Speakers, 2 on the Bridge and 2 in the aft of the boat with 1200 watt Rockwood Marine Amp, 6 new Marine 6.5 inch Speakers on the Interior of the Boat all new in 2022!! This sound system sound great!!  Euro steering wheel (with SeaStar hydraulic steering) The bench seat for the helmsman easily holds three people and, with other guests forward, the driver doesn’t have to turn his head to be part of the conversation. Perhaps the neatest trick on the 31 is the fold-down panel at the front of the bridge which allows you to walk directly from the bridge to the foredeck and greatly simplifies docking and anchoring.

Once on the foredeck, there’s a sturdy welded aluminum pulpit and rail that extends back to mid-cabin and which is fat enough for a good grip. Non slip covers all the deck areas where you might step, and the short bow platform incorporates the usual anchor roller for stowing a lightweight or plow anchor. The anchor locker is large enough for hiding a windlass and, in fact, is pre-wired for just such an installation. New Rocna Anchor 2022!! “UPDATE” AS OF 4/2023 THE INTERIOR U SHAPED COUCH AND ALL COUSHINS HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY RE UPHOLSTERED WITH PREMIUM MATERIALS FROM SAILRITE, ALL NEW PLUGS, NEW FUEL FILTERS, NEW THERMOSTATS, NEW FUEL SENDING UNIT ON PORT SIDE!!

Factory rated Top speed with nearly 0-hour engines was 30 mph Put the throttles down and the Mainship 31 comes smoothly onto a plane without undue bow rise and, once above 3000 rpm, drops smoothly onto a plane without requiring assistance from the standard trim tabs.

At all speeds, I was surprised by the low noise level, which you’ll see on the performance charts.  EFI (electronic fuel injection) engines eliminate some of the noise that finds it’s way through carbs on conventional engines and, of course, Mainship had carefully layered the engine room overhead with sound-deadening foam.

The steering is very light and the 31 will bank comfortably into hard turns with no cavitation or hesitation.

Mainship advertising suggests that they’ve fitted a 40′ interior into a 31′ hull, and I have to admit that they nearly achieved that goal.
