Well, we went out to the subject vessels today. First the "Pacemaker" was visited on the hard. It literally had the name Pacemaker on it and this may have been the subject of a law suit by Pacemaker (the New Jersey company) against "Litton" or "Pace." This 41' hard-chine trawler had myriad blisters below the waterline. The vessel appeared neglected and smelled of mildew. They weren't exactly hiding this as a 12V Panda ionizer was prominently displayed. There was water in the bilge and fresh water damage to the veneers near the windshield. This appear to be a leak from the flying bridge. The sidedecks were very narrow and the swim platform was crude and flexed. Mast and boom are made of wood. If you are walking around the vessel on the outside you must go up and down ladders to do so. The vessel was quite spacious. Teak parquet floors. two aft hydraulic motors to drive two stern thrusters - poorly mounted. Hydraulic bow thruster with tiny propeller. At $199,000 asking - a big pass. The KK42 was a different story. Foredeck and bridgedeck replaced with fiberglass. Cosmetic cracks and flaking in paint in many places, but decent general appearance. No soft spots in any decking. Electronics consist of a new JRC 3000 radar and a Uniden VHF. 12KW generator only has two A/C compressors and a battery charger to run. Stove is propane so one wonders what the original (not present owner) was thinking. Numerous batteries in proper battery boxes. Voluminous storage space. Small refrigerator on a shelf giving the guest cabin/office below undeveloped space. Interior ceilings are vinyl with "lathing" holding it in place. Old, stacked washer/dryer next to companionway stairs to pilothouse. My Golden Retrievers will not be getting up to the bridgedeck and I found the ladder steep at 90 degrees. Perhaps I can slant it and build a bottom step filler for it. The numerous engine hatches are very thick and moderately heavy - might be difficult to handle, but could be hinged and fitted with hydraulic lifters for this single-hander. The dogs are strong, but by the time I explained it to them they'd get bored. Sidedecks are narrow and the pilothouse doors would be better if they were on slides instead of opening outward and hitting the lifelines. The owner's friends do the maintenance and know all about changing the oil in the fuel injection system at 50 hours! So, in sum, an unadorned, but decently maintained KK42, but perhaps not a bargain at $199,000 compared to the equipment laden other KK42s as yet unseen for the same price. It is next door, however. So thank you to the sleuths who correctly identified the origins of the "Pacemaker" and to the continuing support of those who have suggested what to look for on KK42s. So, some Hatteras 42 LRCs to look at and one Island Gypsy 36 to see as well as more KK42s. Did I mention how great this list is? Thank you, Ron Rogers
