Owner Experience Review
Owners consistently describe the BG42as a capable dayboat that doubles as a simple weekender for a couple. Typical use is island hopping and coastal day-tripping, with several owners noting it is “perfectly fine for two to three days away” thanks to having a generator, A/C, a fridge and a hob. The central console and full walkaround with high bulwarks earn praise for safe movement, while the foredeck is a favorite spot at anchor and the aft cockpit—with sunpad and sunken table—works well for relaxed entertaining without crew.
On the water, owners report the hull and bow cutting through three‑metre swells with no spray on deck, giving reassuring seakeeping for this size. With Volvo Penta IPS and joystick, the boat fires out of the hole and is very easy in close quarters; some skippers still recommend adding a bow thruster for extra reassurance. Real‑world figures shared by reviewers and owners cite comfortable cruising around 27–31 knots and top speeds roughly 35–38 knots depending on engine option, with upgraded 600 hp installations seeing about 35–36 knots at the top and ~27 knots at 3,000 rpm.
Ownership notes are encouraging: access to engineering is generous, with a press‑button hydraulic lift under the aft sunpads opening the machinery space. IPS brings precise joystick manoeuvring and efficient cruising but needs season‑by‑season pod/anode care and typically authorised service; keeping a full service history and doing annual pod checks is widely recommended, and buyers are advised to confirm local Volvo Penta dealer support. Published reviews and owner interviews do not highlight recurring, model‑specific failures.
Pros and Cons
- Confident ride reported in rougher conditions, with the bow cutting through three‑metre swells and decks staying dry.
- IPS with joystick delivers agile handling and makes solo operation practical in marinas.
- Versatile dayboat‑to‑weekender layout with secure walkaround, foredeck lounging, and usable accommodations for a couple.
- Best suited to 2–3‑night stays for a couple rather than extended cruising.
- IPS pods require seasonal anode/pod care and specialised service, and repairs can be costly.
- Some skippers prefer adding a bow thruster for extra reassurance in tight manoeuvres.
