Ideal for the ICW, Loop route, or anchoring out in your favorite coves. Honest Note on Condition: She's turnkey topsides but due for a haul-out soon for fresh bottom paint and zincs – a perfect chance for you to inspect and customize. She is sold as is. Priced to move at **$86,000** – serious inquiries only. Located in **Port Saint Lucie, FL** – easy access to the Okeechobee Waterway for Loop starters!

Happy to share references to the yard crew who watched the transformation happen. www.34mainsihp.com for REFIT photos #GreatLoop #LiveaboardLife #TrawlerForSale #BoatingAdventure #Mainship34

She needs bottom paint, fresh thru hulls, and whatever projects you want to do to make her your boat.  The generator is a Honda 2000 that lives on the fly bridge.  It has an external 18-gallon tank, which will run for 4 days in its current configuration.  18' Eastern is not included in the sale.
