1997 Mainship 350 Trawler Sold Boat in Bellingham, WA 98225 US

Dulcita is a 1997 Mainship 350 listed at $74,500. The boat just had a mechanical survey and while small issues were noted (transmission fluid should be changed, small seep at exhaust elbow, etc.) Northwest Diesel Power, which has serviced the engines, assessed them as in good overall shape.
The boat is priced to sell. To be clear: she is in good shape overall, but not perfect. A sister ship of the same model and nearly the same year, but with only a single engine, was sold in Spring 2025 for $142,000. That boat was in perfect shape.
While Dulcita can take you on San Juan Islands adventures right now, investment in diesel heat, wiring upgrades, etc,. would be necessary for it to be valued over $140,000 like the one that sold in Bellingham this spring. A perfect or excellent Mainship 350 cannot be found for sale for under $125,000. If you search online, you will see this same model, same/similar year, priced from $125K-$145K. That is why it is priced aggressively at under $75K to sell.

Bottom line: If you are looking for a perfect Mainship 350, this is not your boat.

However, if you are looking for a solid Mainship 350 at a great price that allows a lot of room for enhancements and upgrades (should you choose to do them) come take a look.

The two couples who have owned this boat since 2018 have moved on. They each have purchased a newer boat and are anxious to sell "Dulcita." MAKE AN OFFER WHILE IT'S STILL BOATING SEASON!

Dulcita, a Mainship 350 Trawler is an economical low maintenance coastal cruiser with classic trawler lines and a good turn of speed. Considered a "performance trawler" the main ship rides on a semi-displacement hull, capable of higher, cruising speeds than full displacement trawlers. This is powered by twin Volvo Penta 200hp engines that have been very well maintained. We cruise comfortably and very fuel efficient at 8kn and max out at 12kn when in a hurry.
Fuel burn per hour at cruising speed (8kn) is around 2.5g per side. The boat is highly fuel-efficient running at 1.5 NM/Gal.

Upon purchase (2018) - $15K in engine overhaul included all new elbows, heat exchangers, raw water pumps, exhaust, belts, filters and fluids (all work done by La Conner Maritime)

"Dulcita" has a northern lights generator, which is in great shape. It has under 700 hours and fires up immediately and has more than enough power for every system on the boat including the heat and AC. We have new Garmin electronics at both the upper and lower stations that moved the vessel away from analog gauges to all electronic gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, RPMs, etc. These same units are also the GPS system. The boat has an auto pilot which works well. It has Blue Sea Systems battery monitoring which is a redundant system to the new charger/inverter (2 years old). It has LED lighting throughout and can be indefinitely off of shore power between low power needs and the generator. Also replaced: the hydraulic steering system including a new ram two years ago, replaced all engine control cables (transmission and power) and redid the interior in the last 6 months (flooring, kitchen, etc.)

Stepping inside from the covered deck, large wrap around windows provide lots of natural lighting in the salon and excellent visibility from the lower helm. Dulcita also has a custom elevated settee in the main salon where you can easily see out of the windows while eating. A convertible sofa and a high low table are starboard in the salon and an L shape galley with refrigerator/freezer and Corian counter is forward to Port. A sliding door at the Helm provides easy deck access.

There are two state rooms and a single head forward. The master berth has an island queen bed and two hanging lockers. The guest state room (partially tucked beneath the galley) has a double berth. Molded steps ascend from the deck to the Mainship's large fly bridge. Although this boat was branded as a 350 Trawler, it is actually almost 40' long with the platforms included and was later re branded as a 390 Trawler.

A new RIB dinghy w/ 2.5 HP Honda Outboard engine is included. A new dinghy davit system has been installed on the swim step.

A full appraisal of Dulcita was made in June 2024 and is available to serious buyers.

Slip sub lease in Bellingham is available for a limited time that is negotiable with the owners. Normally there is a multi-year wait for slips.
