Our Boat Details







Moni Jean is a 2000 Mainship 390 Trawler.

Length Over-all 39' 9"
Length of Waterline 34' 3"
Beam 14' 2"
Draft 3' 8"
Air Draft 18' 8" with radar mast up
Displacement 22,000#

150 gallons of fresh water in 2 tanks (75 gal each)
The toilet has a waste tank which holds 35 gallons
300 gallons of diesel fuel in 2 tanks (175 gal each)

The main engine is a 6 cylinder Cummins diesel engine, 5.9L displacement.

We have (8), 6 volt deep cycle batteries and (1) 12 volt battery. There are 3 battery banks and a 1500W inverter. The inverter will change the 12V battery power into standard 115V "household" power for appliances, lights, etc.

If battery power isn't enough, we have an 8KW diesel generator that can be used to generate power and charge the batteries. The generator uses the 12 volt battery. When we stay at a marina, we can plug into shore power.

The galley is equipped with a full refrigerator & freezer, microwave oven, and a 3 burner gas range with oven. A gas grill is located on the upper deck. For entertainment, we have a TV with cable or Wifi, DVD Player, a stereo, and Satellite radio. The salon and master cabin are each equipped with their own air conditioning units. The head is equipped with a marine toilet, sink, and full size shower compartment. The master cabin has a queen size bead and the guest cabin has 2 bunks.

When we are anchored away from shore, we will use our 10' inflatable dinghy to get around. This is powered with a 6 HP 4 cycle outboard motor (and has oars too!).

We have a full complement of electronics available at both upper and lower helm stations. Electronics include VHF radio, radar, GPS, AIS, chart plotter, auto pilot, and depth instruments. We run the boat from the upper helm most of the time but can use the lower station in bad weather.
