1972 Bristol Offshore 42, cruises like a dream! Time for a new adventure!
Condition detail
The Bristol looks solid and well-built. The exterior needs TLC. Normal wear and tear in the Florida sun and oxidation. The interior is in good condition, maybe with some good detailing. Both berthing areas are nice. The aft berth only has wood flooring, which looks like it had carpet before. The engine room is impressively clean and organized. The engine space is easy to work in, and there is plenty of room to work and move around. The engines run great. The teak needs to be redone.
