It has quite a few upgrades that should make it relatively bulletproof. Mike is a smart dude too (we've chatted 42's several times). We looked at it when we were shopping - it has a very glossy finish to it. Based on the little I do know about Mike, I'd guess this is one of the better setups on the market right now. ...and it appears to be really fast for a 42/700 boat.
He's on OSO - give him a shout.

Easily the nicest and most sorted out 42 on the market. If you have the funding, grab it !!!

Very nice boat , seems like no matter what upgrades a person has done to theyre boat this market is tough for selling , thought about putting mine up for sale but seems like nothing is moving .

Thank you ALL_IN!, I blew three NXT transmissions in the the first year I owned the boat, which is why I did the Huber upgrade that Winter. I haven't had a single transmission issue since, but even with doing all the work myself it still cost more than $25K to do the upgrade. Every person I know with a 700SCi/NXT boat has had transmission issues and it gets expensive very quickly. Installing DriveGuardians solved the problem of pitted upper gears and ever since it's basically been routine maintenance. I had a 1999 42' Lightning before this one and I thought it rode well but there's no comparison, especially in rough water and in hard turns. I rarely run the Whipple blower pulleys because it runs 105MPH without them and that's been good enough for most of the running we do.

I have a 38 with the Drive Guardians in it that were installed at Keith Holmes I'm told, been very nice piece for us. I didn't know you designed them. Good info.
