The 42 Double Cabin is a rare, but well laid out fast trawler. With good pedigree and lines, in such nice condition for her age, makes her a great find for a cruising couple, live aboard condo, Bahamas bound or even the Great Loop!

Her CAT 375hp motors run great have 1,760 hours, good maintenance and run her at an efficient 14.9 knot cruise (although she'll do 19.5 knots wide open). Loads of recent updates, including electronics, battery inverter/chargers, lithium batteries, solar panels for extended time at anchor, and a new Phaser 8.5kw generator.

This boat actively runs 700 miles a season in Florida, the Keys and the Bahamas and is very much dialed in and ready to go.
