RE: Advice on Choosing a Boat

Keith can chime on this, but more than the engine I'd be careful on the hull. I believe this year of K42 is cored below the waterline. Two years ago a friend bought one and it was water logged in much of the core. The surveyor found some saturation but not all, oops big time.

Figure a rebuild on a 120 Lehman or Perkins at about $10K or a reman Cummins at about $15K if you do a lot of wrench turning.
