About This Vessel
This 2001 Mainship 43 Trawler Aft Cabin, measures 43 ft, and is located in Grand Rivers, Kentucky, powered by 2x Caterpillar 3126 350.00HP.
Three Staterooms. Galley Up. Exceptional Livability.Charley is a very clean 2001 Mainship 430 Trawler offering one of the most desirable configurations available in this popular cruising platform: three private staterooms, two heads with separate showers, and a bright galley-up design. Loads of opening windows and doors to let fresh air into the boat.Whether your plans include the Great Loop, extended seasonal cruising, living aboard, or simply spending more time on the water with family and friends, Charley offers an impressive combination of space, comfort, storage, and practical cruising features.Powered by twin Caterpillar 3126 diesel engines with approximately 1,950 hours, Charley provides the redundancy and maneuverability of twin-engine propulsion in a proven cruising platform.What really sets this Mainship apart is her livability.The full-beam aft owner's stateroom provides a true private retreat with a walkaround bed, ensuite head, separate shower, cedar-lined storage, opening ports, and abundant cabinetry. Having access to both sides of the bed is one of those features that may sound small until you've spent months living aboard.Forward are two additional guest staterooms, including a forward V-berth and a separate portside bunk room. A second head with its own dedicated shower serves the forward accommodations, giving visiting family or friends their own space and privacy.The galley-up arrangement is another major advantage. Rather than placing the galley below decks and away from the main living area, Mainship incorporated it into the bright main-deck salon. Large surrounding windows provide natural light and visibility while the cook remains part of the conversation. Updated countertops, undercounter refrigeration and freezer, a three-burner cooktop, convection microwave, stainless sink, and plentiful cabinetry create a galley designed for actually living and cruising aboard.Outside, the Mainship 430 continues to demonstrate why these boats have been so popular with cruising couples. Wide walkaround side decks, substantial perimeter railings, multiple boarding points, and strategically positioned handholds make moving from bow to stern easier and more secure. That's particularly valuable when handling lines and fenders, docking short-handed, or working through the locks along the Great Loop.Storage is another strength of the 430. Interior cabinets, drawers, lockers, hanging spaces, exterior lockers, flybridge storage, and additional spaces throughout the vessel provide the room needed for provisions, spare parts, tools, cruising gear, and everything else that tends to come aboard when a weekend trip turns into a multi-month adventure.Charley is also well equipped for time away from the dock. A Sea Recovery watermaker, Victron 3000VA inverter/charger, Starlink, substantial stainless steel ground tackle, large freshwater capacity, and generous fuel capacity provide useful capability for extended cruising and anchoring out.At the bow is a 39-kilogram stainless steel plow anchor — approximately 86 pounds — paired with 150 feet of all-chain rode and a Maxwell electric windlass.A tender powered by a 20HP Suzuki is carried aft on the swim-platform davit system, providing convenient tender storage without sacrificing valuable living space aboard.Up top, the spacious flybridge provides excellent visibility, comfortable seating, a large Bimini, and a second complete helm station. For less-than-perfect weather, the lower pilothouse helm provides a protected operating station with convenient side-door access to the walkaround decks.With three staterooms, two heads, a full-beam owner's suite, galley-up design, dual helm stations, excellent storage, wide walkaround decks, and an extensive equipment list, Charley is a Mainship 430 that deserves serious consideration from anyone looking for a comfortable Great Loop, liveaboard, or extended-cruising trawler. It is offered as a convenience by this broker/dealer to its clients and is

2001 Mainship 430 – Salon & Galley
