I'm goin to be honest here and state that i didn't like it...added too much to the dash/helm height, and was a bit narrow.
I'm not too fat either.

Hey Mark,

Did you know that the boat is deeper adding 4" of freeboard?

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

Thats one of the good points...Its still nice boat besides the cabin entry.

You have got to be kidding! The old door is a terrible design (in my opinion).

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

Would that door stop you from buying it? Not me.

No It would not stop me...The wife is really pushing for a new one with mild power for family usage.
She is petite and was able to stand in the cabin...big plus there.
That new door was needed but I don't like what became of the dash because of it.

Was at the storage building on the old 42 a little while ago... I must admit that the passanger side having a glove box and more leg room is a big plus over the old cockpit, but that dash add on still kills me.
Ok I'll shut up now :p
