Description
Whether you are looking to hang out at the dock, cruise locally, or cruise extensively on a budget then this boat may be for you. This classic Jefferson 42 is a 2 cabin 2 head split layout. Her aft cabin is quite spacious with a queen size walk around berth and an ensuite head with a bathtub and tons of storage. Her lower helm with side entry door makes her easy to handle alone. She has low original hours on her CAT 3208's. She suffers from the typical Jefferson water staining from previous leaks but does not have any known active leaks. She has a clean slate for the electronics of your choice to be added to the existing Garmin chart plotter.
