This 1981 Uniflite 42DC is a fiberglass sedan bridge yacht powered by twin Detroit Diesel engines producing 620 horsepower. The boat reaches a maximum speed of 21 knots and cruises comfortably at 10 knots. At 42 feet in length with a 14.69-foot beam, it offers substantial space and stability for extended cruising.
The interior has been updated with practical improvements. Freshwater plumbing throughout uses PEX tubing with fittings in accessible locations and no Sharkbite connections. The galley, forward and aft cabins, and heads feature Plasteak flooring, while the salon is carpeted with modular squares. Shore power has been upgraded with individual ELCI protection on each 30-amp circuit, ensuring compatibility with modern dock pedestals. DC electrical systems include new distribution fuse blocks and enhanced power routing to the flying bridge.
The propulsion and running gear have received recent attention. New propshaft stern tube hoses and Cutlass bearings have been installed. The boat does show cosmetic fiberglass blistering and staining typical of Uniflite's construction from this era—these are surface issues without structural implications. Some decking remains in primer and requires final paint finishing.
This is a working yacht built for service, not aesthetics. The mechanical systems are sound and well-maintained, supported by years of regular seasonal operation.
