- 1972 42 foot Alloy Mfg
First time boat owner long time mariner. Well I just jumped into buying my first boat and has been a learning experience so far working on a much smaller boat than I’m used to. Picked up a 42 foot semi custom aluminum trawler that confuses me every time I look at it’s specs but the price was right(you wouldn’t believe me if I told you lol) and the deal was real so bought it on a hope and a prayer it will all turn out all right in the end. A little about the boat, it’s a 1972 Alloy manufacturing 42 foot trawler, built in Canada, , it has twin Lehman 120s mounted on the stern with a v drive setup, swinging 30 inch wheels, is a semi displacement hull that is full welded 1/4 inch marine grade aluminum. It has paravane stabilizers and integral tanks with 1200 gallons of fuel, 250 gallons of water . The boat is loosely set up kinda like a Europa style trawler only with the master bedroom on the stern that opens up right into a real nice cockpit and master bath in the middle of the boat. In all my searching I have never seen a boat with such unusual specs, layout or design before. I’ve wanted a trawler to travel the world with since I was a small child and have probably been dreaming of and searching for the right boat to live on my entire adult life. So far this site has been invaluable in my research and I’m sure I will be relying on all of your expertise in the months to come as I refit my boat. So in advanced thank you all and happy travels
