981 Mainship 34 Trawler

“Cohorts” is a lovingly cared for trawler that has had some very nice renovations completed and is awaiting her next adventure. She is currently setup as a cozy liveaboard for a couple. Entry through the covered cockpit through a full sized sliding door, leads to a comfortable, well lit salon with plenty of windows and a custom built dinette. The salon sole has been totally replaced with marine grade plywood covered in a bamboo pattern vinyl that requires no maintenance. Her engine is hatch was redesigned to be larger and is enclosed clean floor panels that are all the exact same size so they are interchangeable. No jigsaw puzzle, requiring careful replacement. The galley is down to port; well-equipped and comfortable, with a good size head and shower directly across. Attractive hard wood paneling is plentiful, and a small passthrough between galley and salon gives a nice open feeling. Vberth is the main cabin area and is comfortable and has good storage.

Upper and Lower helm stations provide options for piloting from indoor comfort or flybridge station visibility and breeze. The flybridge has plenty of seating for friends and cocktails, and a large aft deck perfect for sunbathing, that also provides shade to the cockpit below.
