Many smaller cruising boats, monohulls and cats, are moving to outboard power, and the Endeavour TrawlerCat 42 is a larger example of that trend. Using the same hull and layout as the Endeavour 40, the new 42 is powered by twin 300-hp Suzuki outboards that produce a top speed of 21.3 mph, while making the boat even more user-friendly in skinny water spots of the Chesapeake and the Bahamas with its 3-foot draft. You could even trim the outboards up if you need to.
The appeal of the new Endeavour, in addition to its outboard power, is the tremendous amount of living space throughout the boat. The aft deck, for example, is 14.5 feet wide. The salon and galley are on the main level, and they’re massive. The master is forward with an en suite head; the guest stateroom is in the port hull, also with a head and shower. But up top there’s even more room in what Endeavour calls a SkyLounge, which has windows all around, plus two settees, an entertainment center, and the helm station.
The Endeavour’s hull, deck and bulkheads are made with biaxial fiberglass with vinylester resin and are laid up with vacuum bag construction. Endeavour offers a five-year limited structural/blister warranty. Specs.: LOA: 40’0”; Beam: 16’0”; Draft: 3’0”. Disp.: 28,500 lbs.; Fuel: 600 gals.; Water: 150 gals.; Power: 2×300-hp Suzukis.
