2025 Mussel Ridge 42

This 42-foot Mussel Ridge is a fiberglass downeast boat finished in 2025, built on the hull design that defines the type. The boat is powered by a Scania DC13 diesel engine rated at 900 horsepower, with low running time of just 20 hours.

The boat is equipped for serious fishing work. It features a hydraulic pot hauler, two in-deck livewells with chill plates for bait, and substantial in-deck fish storage with an ice maker and chill plates. A full suite of Garmin electronics supports navigation and operations. A Cummins Onan generator provides auxiliary power.

The layout and construction reflect careful finishing by Samoset Boat Works, with attention paid to practical arrangement, robust build quality, and custom joinery throughout. The design balances the traditional seaworthy character of downeast boats with modern materials and systems. At 14.5 feet of beam, the boat carries the proportions typical of the class.
