I watched a guy in Connecticut trying to dock one of these. He had a
terrible time even with a bow thruster. It was not the boat's fault, but it
was funny when the kid who was about to pump gas into our boat saw him
coming. The kid was confused as to pump gas into our boat or to run and
assist the Mainship. A call over the kid's radio stating, "Drop everything
and go help Mr. X" prompted him to give me the nozzle while he ran off to
assist. It was really amusing to watch. No one got hurt. Since we were
docked across the way, I went over to take a look at it. I liked it. Seemed
easy to maintain.

I'm close to purchasing a semi-new (2002) 390 Mainship Trawler with single
diesel power. Does anyone have this boat already and what do you think of
it.
Thanks,
