Considering these two 42's...
I'm looking for a 42 and considering these two:
2005 42 Legacy. Merc 1075 / #6 drives, 79 total hours. I haven't seen the boat yet, but is reported to be in mint condition. "The Joker" paint job - listed here in the classifieds The other is a 2008 42 Legacy, merc 700 / nxt drives, 194 hours. This boat is supposed to be in mint condition also (I haven't seen it in person yet). Also listed in the classifieds here. I run my boats on the conservative side, not so interested in doing 120mph, but want to cruise at 75 without laboring the engines too much. My last boat had merc 900's and it was running great when I sold it with 350 hours on it. Did the top end at 200 hours is all. 42 cig straight bottom. Interested in any feedback from anyone who knows these boats or has advise on which way to go. I am aware of the maintenance difference between the 700's with hydraulic lifters and the 1075 with solid lifters. ( I'm assuming the 1075 is more reliable than the old merc 900's) What about resale, say 3 years down the road? Which one will be the easier sell? Both come with myco trailers. The asking price is $20k more for the 08 700 boat. Thanks for your help! |
arent the 1075's maintenance schedule much more costly and more often than the 700's? seems like the 700's would be fine for cruising at the speeds you listed and the boat is three years newer.

On the other hand the 700's should be good to go with no major issues til about 400 hours. Definitely a cost difference though..... |

Hi Jbadd, thanks for your reply! I would like to talk to you about this boat sometime. You guys used to have that silver/gray 39 2 years ago. Gorgeous boat, I was looking at it online and someone bought it.. I later saw it here in California in Dana Point. Looked nice.... I think at the time you guys were looking at getting a 42. Did you trade this 08 Legacy in on another boat at the factory?
