Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the 42fromAUSTIN PARKERas an elegant dayboat/compact express cruiser for day trips and entertaining, and it also works for weekend cruising as a couple or small family. The one-level main deck from swim platform to helm makes movement safer underway and simplifies hosting, while the large open cockpit—with twin sun chaise lounges, twin transom doors, and a hydraulic transom for tender/garage access—keeps the social area front and center. Below, the forward master is paired either with a salon/galley or an optional second cabin that replaces the salon, giving genuine layout flexibility. High freeboard brings generous headroom, and owners note upscale touch points, including real leather and wood finishes; some spec sheets even list a bidet as standard.
On the water, reported figures cite a top speed around 32.5 knots and a best cruise near 28 knots with twin 480 hp Cummins, depending on configuration. The high forward freeboard and fully laden displacement around 33,000 lb (≈15 t) contribute to a drier ride in chop and more offshore composure, with a CE Category A rating cited in reviews. One expert test summed up the boat’s feel as “Quite simply, a delight,” and the Italian interpretation of a Downeast lobstertype look adds distinctive character without claiming traditional Maine lobster-boat behavior. Typical installations feature twin inboard diesels on straight shafts with service access via a large cockpit hatch; an IPS option uses a jackshaft, which entails different service routines. Larger fuel (≈396 gal) and water (≈105 gal) capacities support cruising but do mean more filters and systems to stay on top of over time.
Pros and Cons
- Seaworthy feel with high freeboard, ≈33,000 lb fully laden weight, and a CE Category A rating cited for offshore capability.
- Reported performance includes ≈32.5-knot top speed and ≈28-knot best cruise with twin 480 hp Cummins, configuration-dependent.
- One-level main deck and a spacious cockpit with chaise lounges, twin transom doors, and hydraulic transom suit entertaining and boarding.
- The optional second cabin replaces the below-deck salon, reducing lounge space.
- Larger fuel (≈396 gal) and water (≈105 gal) capacities demand more ongoing filter and system maintenance.
- The IPS jackshaft configuration introduces service differences owners must plan for.
