1999 Mainship Pilot Sedan

SCRIMSHAW is a well-kept example of the popular Mainship Pilot 30 Sedan, combining classic Downeast-inspired styling with comfort, efficiency, and versatility. Founded in New Jersey in the late 1970s, Mainship earned a loyal following for practical, economical cruisers and trawlers—particularly popular among Great Loop boaters for their livability and ease of handling.

Powered by a 230 hp Yanmar 4LHA-STP diesel with 735 hrs, SCRIMSHAW offers the efficiency and dependability that make this hardtop Pilot 30 such a rare, appealing cruiser. Electronics include an ICOM VHF, Garmin GPS/chartplotter, Saturn compass, and Pioneer CD/Bluetooth stereo. The pilothouse features a semi-enclosed helm an with double bench captain and mate seats, port and starboard bench seating with storage. A spacious open cockpit with bimini leads through the transom to a sizeable swim platform.

Below, more than six feet of headroom and a teak-and-holly veneer sole create a warm, surprisingly spacious interior. The efficient Galley includes a stainless-steel sink, Princess two-burner electric stove, GE microwave, and Isotherm refrigerator. A forward V-berth, convertible dinette, and enclosed head with vanity, sink, and shower round out the accommodations.

SCRIMSHAW delivers classic Mainship practicality in true Downeast - comfortable economical, and ready for her next adventure.
