Owner Experience Review
Owners tend to run the 42fromOcean Alexanderas an owner-operator boat for family-friendly coastal cruising and weekend runs. The 42-foot footprint stays manageable for docking and transiting, and some boats have even seen charter duty with reports that multiple 42s were “just as solid” as larger sisterships. Underway, owners highlight the predictability of the ride from the deep bow entry; it’s a notably dry boat with a heavy, solid hull that feels seaworthy rather than flighty.
On board, the practical 42-foot layout with a single head and a broad ~14-foot beam delivers a salon that feels roomy for this size, with compact but efficient accommodations. Sentiment from long-time owners is strong—one remarked they “loved it,” and that their spouse still calls it their best boat.
Prospective buyers should weigh known maintenance themes: some examples show elevated engine oil consumption, and repowering is cited as a not-uncommon and costly remedy. Certain lower-engine oil leaks can require extensive disassembly to access. Surveys frequently call out generator and air-conditioning items, and community estimates for repowers or major services can run from the high tens to the low hundreds of thousands, making a thorough survey and records review essential.
