Again, I agree with Eric. I'm quite certain that the reason Ocean Alexander dropped the 42 Sedan model was as Eric described. To build my boat today would cost 2.5 to 3 times what I paid for a 9 year old OA 42. To buy new is a waste of money when one can buy an older pedigreed boat and fix the warts and pimples for a hell uv a lot less money!
