The Mainship Pilot 34 has the seakeeping abilities of the lobster boats it has descended from. It has a steep plumb bow and a gentle rise of the sheer; both of these qualities give the Pilot 34 the ability to cut through head seas, while the rounded forward hull sections provide a soft entry. Flatter sections aft increase lift for speed and economy, and the deep full keel with a complete sand shoe gives stability and protection from grounding. In the cockpit, the Pilot 34 has helm and companion seats flanking the large engine access hatch. The side cockpit lounges have closed-cell cushions and they can double as berths or are perfect for napping.
The spacious cockpit is perfect for fishing or for a couple chairs for enjoying a private, quiet cove. Currently, the owner has a extra-large cooler in the cockpit for bringing the daily catch back chilled.
Below, the cabin has a large head complete with Corian covered vanity, lots of storage, a shower, and even a VacuFlush head. The teak-trimmed galley offers plenty of storage, large single well sink with hot and cold water, ample Corian counter space, a microwave, a cooktop, and a refrigerator and freezer.
The large dinette easily converts to a double berth and includes plenty of storage.
The interior is comfortably cool with air conditioning, powered away from the dock by a 3.5 kw diesel power generator.
This particular 2000 model benefits from the rugged and fuel efficient 220hp Cummins 6BTA. Expect economical cruising at a cruise speed of 14-16 knots, with a top speed of 20. Fuel consumption should be approximately 3+ mpg at cruise, making her gentle on the wallet for longer passages.
The boat has a Next Generation Power UCM1 diesel generator. They are vaunted for their compact, durable and fuel efficient ability to power refrigeration, battery chargers, lights and air conditioning aboard, while consuming barely a quart of diesel fuel per hour.
The boat has a bow thruster for easy docking, even in tight or windy conditions.
There is also an electric anchor windlass for easily dropping and retrieving the hook.
The boat is equipped with radar, depth sounder and a Garmin 740s chartplotter at the helm.
The galley is equipped with a refrigerator / freezer, microwave, hot & cold water and is air conditioned!
Everything works and is in sparkling condition.
