This 1962 Matthews 42 Double Cabin is a classic motor yacht built with custom mahogany construction. Twin Detroit Diesel engines rated at 370 horsepower provide propulsion, with a cruising speed of 8 knots. The yacht measures 42 feet in length with a 13-foot beam, delivering the proportions and seaworthiness expected of this era's quality build.
The accommodation plan includes two cabins and two heads, arranged to provide comfortable living quarters for extended cruising. The layout reflects the thoughtful design typical of Matthews' double-cabin models from this period.
The hull has been professionally fiberglass sheathed to protect and preserve the original mahogany structure. A custom aft deck top was added as part of the yacht's ongoing maintenance. The boat has been actively maintained and has competed in classic boat shows.
