Couple pictures of a new 42 on display in Chacago at today's boat show.
The new hull will also be layed up on the Executioner.

How about you buy that one and I'll take your boat???? :drink: Thanks for the shots. I think I'll make it there in the afternoon Friday. Was there anything else exciting at the show? Did you get to meet up with anyone?

Dan,
I really liked the Fountain pictured.
I'm not one to really be so wild about the windshield thing but
the appearance of this boat was really beautiful.
The boat now has 4" more freeboard which I'm sure would really help in choppy water.
The 39TG was also a knockout.
The show needs more go-fast stuff but I enjoyed hanging out with the people
of Shogren Marine as well as some of our COPS comrads :D

Is that cabin door a new thing on the newest boats?? I like the previous better!

What do you guys think?

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

SO much better looking than the 3 peice doors. Always thought they kinda cheaped the boat.

I likey!

Rattly 3 piece companionway with the pressurized gas strut that goes bad and
allows the upper piece to smack you in the head at just the right moment........ :rolleyes:
About time for change.

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

I like the new cabin door so much better. The old door was a bad design.

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

Agree! Wish we could change ours. :rolleyes:

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

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.

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

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.

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

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.

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

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.

Re: Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show
 

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
