Default Pics of a 42 at the Chicago Boat Show

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???? 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

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

What do you guys think?

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........
About time for change.

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