Stunning 1955 Colin Archer Design 42 from Norway. All wood construction with a gleaming recent survey. The current owner estimates he has spent over $200k on the boat throughout her restoration. Romantic, charming, and seaworthy perfectly define this trawler.

Powered by a single Perkins T6.354M turbocharged diesel, she's an efficient cruiser. Two fuel tanks are on board totaling 400 gallons. Electronics are recently updated with Simrad Multi-function display and radar. She's also equipped with autopilot (Simrad AP44) and depth sounder (Raymarine i40). Magnum invertor is on board with 8 6V batteries.

Down below her accommodations are just as charming. Rounded doorways provide entraces to two staterooms, one located forward and one to the starboard side, both featuring large double berths. The galley has plenty of cooking space with medium sized fridge/freezer combo, microwave and gas range. Forward of the galley is a workspace/chart desk. The head features a large shower stall and plenty of storage.

Going back up to the pilothouse you will find a large circular dinette that basks in the stunning views from the rounded aft wall. Seating for 7 or 8 comfortably to enjoy a nice dinner on the hook. Many nights off the grid can be had with a 200 gallon fresh water tank.

On the bow there is two anchor roller brackets as well as an Ideal anchor windlass. Working lights illuminate the forward deck.
