Introducing Dulcita, a 1997 Mainship 350 priced at an attractive $74,500. Recently, the boat underwent a mechanical survey, revealing minor issues such as the need for a transmission fluid change and a small seep at the exhaust elbow. However, Northwest Diesel Power, the trusted service provider for the engines, has deemed them to be in overall good condition.
This boat is a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a solid Mainship 350 at a competitive price, especially considering a similar model sold for $142,000 in Spring 2025, but in pristine condition. While Dulcita is ready for your San Juan Islands adventures now, some investment in upgrades like diesel heating and wiring would elevate its value closer to $140,000. Perfect Mainship 350s are currently listed at no less than $125,000, and a quick online search will confirm that similar models range from $125K to $145K. Hence, Dulcita is priced to sell at under $75K.
Bottom line: if you’re after a flawless Mainship 350, Dulcita may not be your match. However, if you're looking for a dependable vessel with room for enhancements, we encourage you to come see it. The two couples who have cherished this boat since 2018 have upgraded to newer models and are eager to sell Dulcita before the boating season ends—make your offer today!
Dulcita is an economical and low-maintenance coastal cruiser, boasting classic trawler lines and impressive speed. As a 'performance trawler,' she rides on a semi-displacement hull, allowing for cruising speeds higher than those of full displacement trawlers. Powered by twin Volvo Penta 200hp engines, Dulcita offers comfortable cruising at 8 knots while maximizing fuel efficiency, burning only about 2.5 gallons per hour at that speed.
Since the purchase in 2018, $15K was invested in an engine overhaul, including new elbows, heat exchangers, and pumps, all performed by La Conner Maritime. Dulcita features a well-maintained Northern Lights generator with under 700 hours, providing ample power for all onboard systems, including heating and AC. The vessel is equipped with new Garmin electronics at both the upper and lower stations, replacing analog gauges with advanced electronic displays. Additionally, the boat includes an efficient autopilot, Blue Sea Systems battery monitoring, and LED lighting throughout, allowing for extended use off shore power.
Upon entering from the covered deck, you’ll find a bright salon with large wraparound windows and fantastic visibility from the lower helm. The custom elevated settee in the main salon offers great views while dining, complemented by a convertible sofa and a high-low table. The L-shaped galley features a refrigerator/freezer and Corian countertops. There are two staterooms, including a master suite with an island queen bed and a guest room with a double berth. A sliding door at the helm provides easy deck access, and molded steps lead to the spacious flybridge.
Though marketed as a 350 Trawler, Dulcita measures nearly 40 feet long, having been rebranded as a 390 Trawler. A new RIB dinghy with a 2.5 HP Honda Outboard engine is included, along with a recently installed dinghy davit system on the swim step. For serious buyers, a full appraisal from June 2024 is available. Additionally, a negotiable slip sublease in Bellingham is available for a limited time, which is a rare opportunity given the typical multi-year wait for slips.
