42' Jefferson Viscount motor yacht!
Replacing Jefferson's original 42 Sundeck-the 1990 42 Viscount has a more streamlined profile but it did retain the popular teak interior. She rides smoothly on a modified solid fiberglass V-hull. She's got a nice beam for her size and her shallow keel provides directional stability in rough seas or a windy day around the dock.
The two stateroom layout has the galley and dinette forward of the salon. With sleeping for 8, the Viscount is a perfect motor yacht for traveling with family or friends.
She's got ample outdoor living space, upper and lower helms were standard equipment as well as an aft deck hardtop and davit system.
Popular among Loopers, the 42 has a long range, tons of stowage, two full heads and a full beam master suite.
This motor yacht is very clean, owned by an excellent, well respected marine technician, very well maintained and completely turn key ready for her new owner! She is powered by the optional 300hp Cummins 6BTA Diesel engines with less than 1900 hours, enabling her to cruise comfortably at 15kts-16kts.
