Cruising is a breeze with this efficient paring of hull design and the efficient Yanmar 4-cylinder engine. You can cruise at 9 mph at 2000 rpm consuming a miniscule 1.8 gallons per hour, jump up to 11 mph at 2500 rpm consuming 4.25 gph, or max out at about 17 mph when time is important. You choose with the in-dash flowmeter to monitor your fuel consumption in real time.

The Mainship Pilot 30 is known for its spacious cockpit, comfortable helm, and inviting cabin, providing an ideal balance of outdoor enjoyment and interior comfort. Its classic Downeast profile turns heads in every marina, while the practical layout makes it easy to entertain family and friends or enjoy peaceful evenings at anchor. Thoughtful design and quality construction have helped make this model one of Mainship's most sought-after cruisers.

Included with the sale is a 2011 Zodiac Cadet 285 inflatable dinghy, providing convenient transportation to shore or an easy way to explore secluded beaches and anchorages. Powering the dinghy is a reliable Suzuki 2.5 Hp four-stroke outboard, offering quiet, economical operation and dependable performance. Together, the dinghy and outboard create a complete package that's ready for cruising from day one. As a bonus, the boat is equipped with dive tank racks.

This is a boat that has been designed to be enjoyed rather than admired from the dock. With the proven reliability of Yanmar diesel power, the versatility of a well-equipped cruiser, and the added convenience of an included Zodiac dinghy and Suzuki outboard, this Mainship Pilot 30 represents an outstanding value for anyone seeking a capable, efficient, and beautifully styled cruising boat.

If you're ready to spend more time on the water and less time searching for the right boat, this 1998 Mainship Pilot 30 deserves your attention. It offers the classic character, dependable performance, and complete cruising package that make every outing something to look forward to.
