1984 42' MkII LRC $110,000

[Boomerang]

***I'm copying and pasting from the post I put on Trawler Forum last night. I hope it works! ***
1984 Hatteras 42 MkII LRC, Hull # HATBT428M84A
Fuel is 750 gal in 2 tanks (supply and return valves plus gauges are under a hatch in the salon...no climbing in the engine room to switch or check).
Water is 200+ in 2 tanks
Holding is 80 and it lasts forever without needing to pump out.
We cruise @ 1550 for an approximate fuel furn of 3.8 gph @ 7.5 kts. 1500 gets better yet @ 7 kts.
I'd guess the displacement to be around 40k lbs and the air draft with the mast up is a conservative 23'.
The location ,as of this post, in in Flagler Beach , Florida. We'll be headed to our home in Kilmarnock, VA the first of April. We bought the boat late spring of '24 where I went over it to make it mechanically sound to take South that fall. She made the trip down and back with no issues at all. When we got back in spring of '25, we tweaked all of the systems to make stuff better for our style of cruising.
The boat is a solid tank, the most comfortable cruising boat we could ever ask for. We can anchor in stuff we never could've anchored in with prior boats and not worry about bouncing all night.
The engines are Detroit 4-53N's. They're really pretty simple to work on...just ask Lepke! The port has 5170 hours and the Starboard was reportedly replaced and shows 1756 hours. The PO gave me no paperwork to verify any of the things he said was done but he did a lot of bartering with the marina (he owned a dredge operation) so I think it was a lot of under the table labor swap. The port runs like a top but the Starboard just seems a little more sealed up. I'll check my records but for our 12-1300 miles of cruising this winter I might've used 2-2 1/2 gallons of oil total (mostly all weeps, no smoke) the port weeped the most. The serial # of the starboard block is different than the original owner had recorded so I feel it's been changed. The generator was changed to a 10.5 kW unit and it shows 5093 hours and runs like a top ,too, though we don't use it much.
Naiad (172?) stabilizer system (PO reported new seals installed. We tested them and everything worked but we just don't use them for our style of coastal cruising so I pinned them in the center so to not wear them out. The fins alone make a difference while pinned.
Dripless stuffing boxes
Spurs line cutters
A partial list of the things we've done so we don't have any issues while cruising are
Main engine heat exchangers disassembled and cleaned
Engine fuel filters (and oil filters) upgraded to spin on canister type.
Props (26D x 23P) reconditioned fall '24
Changed (did away with) the monstrous vaccuflush system and added a whale gulper diaphragm maserator pump to each head and the overboard discharge ('24). Now, to flush, you just step on the pedal and push the pump button until the bowl is clear. It works great and simple is better. Very quiet, too.
Replaced all head hoses, added "Y" valve for overboard or dockside pumpout.('24)
Installed Aims 3000W pure sine wave inverter with remote. Connected to galley outlets mainly for coffee, cooking with microwave or crockpot
Took out the 4 8-D's (1 was for starboard main and generator start and other 3 were for house and port main start. Replaced with (6) GC2 6-v batteries (650+ AH) and 2 group 31 starting batteries (all new '25) , 1 for port main and 1 for starboard main and generator.
Rebuilt ('26) large frame Power line alternator to charge house and port start via ACR. Starboard engine uses stock large-frame Delco alternator to charge it's battery
Replaced the 110v refrigerator with a 10.5 cf RV refrige that's strictly 12v. Way more economical than running through the inverter. New '25
Replaced electric stove with RV 3-burner stove/oven . Added 20lb propane tank behind flybridge seat. Controlled with solenoid using switch above stove (added sniffer) New '25
Added Victron 60A 3 bank battery charger ('24) Backup 100A charger on Inverter if needed
Added battery SOC meter to monitor house charging and discharge...$45 from Amazon and probably one of the best accessories I've ever had.
Added remote battery switch ('24) for windlass with switch at helm. Added up/down remote for windlass.
Replaced anchor with Vulcan (new '24) oversized 33kg (200' 5/16" chain). We are 100% pleased with Vulcan Gen2 anchors. They have never let us down in some snotty conditions. Also have standby Danforth 20H stored on railing with approx 200 1/2" nylon rode and piece of chain stored on opposite side of chain locker
Added saltwater wash down (new '24)
Changed water heater to Isotemp 12 gal 120v & heat exchanger (new late '25)
Added diesel parking water heater. Added 2 vent bus heater and expansion tank behind cabinet and plumbed diesel heater to Isotemp water heater and bus heater. Ran 1 vent to aft stateroom and 1 vent to salon. This is another accessory that we can't do without! After running for the day, we'll run the diesel heater for 20-30 minutes which heats the domestic water heater hot! It also heats the salon and aft stateroom with hot air (measured 130 degree air in stateroom and 140 in salon)(Everything new late '25)
Starlink Mini on mast with 30v power supply ('25)

Believe that was Paul's before you purchased it. He cruised it from Florida to Canada and many ports between. Great boat and sips fuel

Yes Sir, this was previously Smith's boat. At the time, there only 2 42's for sale. A Mk1 in Jacksonville and this one 20 miles down the bay from our place. We drove to Jacksonville and looked at that one but the broker couldn't tell us anything about the engines or really anything about the boat in general. I felt it was too much of a risk to bring the boat home almost a thousand miles not knowing anything about the mechanical. So that left us with this one. She is a totally different boat now from what condition it was in when we bought it.

Looks great! Good luck with the sale

Looks wonderful, thanks for sharing.

Looks great! Have you considered doing a walkthrough video?

Looks great! Have you considered doing a walkthrough video?

That would certainly be a good idea since a video does give a better visual than a still but I don't think this platform will allow a direct insertion of a video. I'd have to upload one to something like youtube and then post a link. That'll be a task I'd put my wife on since I don't have that kind of patience. The past couple of boats I sold, I did face time walkarounds of the boat for those who were interested. That worked out ok.

Hello, are you showing the vessel on your journey north?

Wow, I'm so sorry Greg! I wasn't paying much (hardly any) attention to my messages or my laptop in general on the way back home and I missed your message. We would've been happy to have shown it if it would've worked out but honestly, we prefer to and did anchor out most nights so a showing was kind of a logistical issue. We stopped in Brunswick Landing SC overnight one night where we took on 300 gallons of fuel and then spent a few nights @ Lady's Island Marina ,SC visiting friends (and waiting out some crazy-strong winds) and then we never stepped foot back on shore until we got to Great Bridge VA where we overnighted at the free dock. The next day Friday 4/17 we made the final trek up the Chesapeake where she is lying at our dock. Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to look at it.
If you're interested in a 42 LRC MkII specifically, a trip to this area might very well be worthwhile since there's another one. hull #429, just 30 minutes away that also seems to be a nice boat.

Thank you for the response, and glad to hear you were able to “unplug” while cruising north. I would like to try to see your vessel and another that is close in Virginia. I will check my schedule and reach out to see if we can come up with a timeline that works,
