Response to The early series glass 42 SF (nice boat!)

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the info. It fills in a few blanks on the boats history. This one has had interior updates including L seating, wall coverings, and new fridge. The boat is chartered, but only on the weekends. The port engine has 772 hours since new, and the stb. has 22 since rebuilt. The engine was rebuilt becuase a mechanic thought the ticking sound was a rod or wrist pin. They took apart the engine and could find nothing wrong, but the owner had all internals replaced while it was out. While putting the engine back in they found the there was an exhaust leak on the inside of the manifold that was radiating the sound up through the engine. This was shortly after blisters were found on the hull and all the gelcoat was ground down and replaced. The engines fire up like they were brand new from the factory and the gen set starts and runs like a diesel. The engine room and bilges are as clean as any boat I have seen short of being new. Looks and sounds like I might have found a keeper. My biggest concern is a rock solid boat worth repowering with new diesels in the future. Thanks again everyone and hope to be chating with you all in the future.
