To me it is a bit funny to see this kind of boats build brand new. I used to be a commercial fisherman on the North Sea of the Westcoast of Denmark twenty years ago. European Union placed so much regulation and quotas on the fishing industry, that just that one fishing town, where I lived in, in the matter of a decade went from 300 to 30 registered full time fishing vessels. Many new or as new fishing vessels lay dead in harbor for years, until the skippers even were payed to scrap them, so many a boat easily as fine as this one were sold to scrap yards and clipped in pieces. One of the boats, that I had sailed on and my skipper considered to buy, had just got a brand new 500 HP MTU diesel engines and all in new electronics, and I mean all, that you could ever get and find on the market, as the best fish finders on the market. The boat went to scrap and some of the electronics were sold for a tenth of the price. If people had the interest then, they literally could have had their pick of hundreds of these kind of vessels for conversion, for no more than scrap price. Actually, some boats were even given away, if people had an interesting project, as a museums boat or live onboard conversions. Now people are willing to pay full price and build them brand new!

I'm in love with the steel hull commercial trawler & tug style of boats. I'm just a big fan of the industrial look. So having a M\Y that not only looks the part, but can actually perform the part is a big win.

The amount of space and the engine room on this size of boat, it's just amazing.

Great tour of this beautiful trawler. I'd put a little freezer in the lazarette, upgrade microwave to a combi, put a double in the cabin, and a 2nd water maker for redundancy. I'd be happy to live aboard, doing a lot of costal cruising & inlandwaterways. I wouldn't probably cross the ocean, though. Dream on 😅

I love this boat, it appears to be a solidly built boat and looks like it would make an incredible cruising boat.

Absolutely perfect no frills pocket battle wagon. We had a 36’ Steel boat with very similar systems down to the single keel cooled engine and it was a bit small for a long term live aboard. This nails all the things we would have changed. Paravanes work brilliantly. We cruised all the way down the Easy Coast of Australia and across Bass Strait to Tasmania and our home port of Hobart. As you said, set and forget almost. If my health and finances allowed it we buy it as is.

20mm thick steelhull! LOVE this.

I don't understand where you'd take a boat like this (rugged, overbuilt even) where you'd want both a huge tank AND only a single engine. Close in to shore in rough weather, don't need the tankage. Long distance, presumably remote...you'd want a second engine.

Hard to believe she's just 42' . It's kind of a cliche' ti say it but the boat looks and I assume performs like a much larger boat. I'll catch BoatBouy for your fav features but as for me the decks and that galley stand out. And the pilot house ofc.

I'm not crazy about the flopper stoppers or the flybridge access but I love the range & fuel capacity. The day head & master head with separate shower are plusses. I think the washing machine could be snugged next to the dryer for more room in the salon. Overall a a great design with rugged construction. A wee bit slow but I'm in no hurry. Lol. 😂 👍👍

Dear Yacht Buoy: I have to correct you on one point. Paravane stabilisers definitely DO reduce speed, assuming same engine RPMs and comparing deployed vs. non-deployed state. I have built these systems, owned boats with them fitted, and can compare. Depending on the myriad factors in play, you can assume that when paravanes are deployed, you will lose between ½ and 1 knot SOG. In no way is this a problem, but I think good to know. Apart from that, this is a boat I would love to own. And thanks for the tour of her.

I like steel trawlers, hope the superstructure is welded to the hull not bolted on. Yes potential ocean crossing vessel but you would be rockin’ and rolling‘ although the paravanes would help. John Deere engines have a good reputation in the US where I live but only one means of propulsion would make me nervous in a crossing which would take a while at 6-9 knots. When I was in the US Navy we did crossings of the Atlantic and Pacific at about 20 knots and it still seemed like an eternity. Overall though I like this boat and would prefer it to a Nordhaven. Thanks for the review.

Lovely boat! Thanks for the great review.

Lovely sturdy boat. Looks very safe for long voyages.

This looks like a steel Nordhavn! Beautiful boat!!

That's built like a damn tank!!! 20mm hull!!! I like that, near indestructible!😮

The price on this is fantastic. I would have guessed over a million because of how well it's built. If money were no object I think I would want a couple more bedroom options that I could turn into more storage for food and machine parts. Parts for engine, water maker, generator, electrical items, etc. It always amazes me how I never see an area on these boats where they store emergency parts. That's really rudimentary stuff that doesn't cost a lot, doesn't really expire, easy to install, etc. but, if you don't have it and you blow some sort of hose, etc. you could be stuck at sea wondering why you didn't spend the extra $5 for any one of these parts. Anyway, I would like more storage for food, parts, and also a really good quality trash compactor with some sort of sealed storage container to hold the cubes of trash to keep in the smells until I get to port. I also have a question....is there some sort of international law about dumping grey and black water when you are far out at sea? Just wondering. Greetings from Texas....

A total corker of a small ship style boat, with an incredible range and perfectly adequate facilities.

Cool boat, thanks for sharing.
