The Catalina 42 MKll is one of the most successful 40 plus footers ever built the number is over 1000. Catalina's in-house design team, led by chief designer Gerry Douglas for the last 25 years, designed the Catalina 42.

The Mk I version was built until February 1995 (hull # 477) when it was replaced with the Mk II version which remains in production as of the 2004 model year. There were very few changes between the Mk I and Mk II models although, as a concession to popular European styling, the transom was rounded off at the deck. In addition, storage was added to the cockpit seating and a two-stateroom layout option was offered.
