Oem42

[F/V First Team]

Revolution down in Westport, MA
Originally a kit boat the previous owner bought and finished himself back in '99

That is a nice looking hull, I love the shear in the bow.

Travis, do you guys have a molded top for that boat??

 

[WoundUpMarine]

great lookin boat!

 

[F/V First Team]

yes we do have a molded deck unit for the OEM42
we can also do a custom top if desired

 

[Tunascapes]

Great looking Hull.

Sorry if I missed this in one of the other threads, but who designed that 42', First Team? Is she a skeg boat or built-down?

 

[F/V First Team]

Eric White
Built Down
Fast and steady like it should be

 

[WoundUpMarine]

what kind of horsepower are you looking at to get an solid 18kt cruise?

 

[F/V First Team]

She did 25 kts with a 3406 and a 2:1 gearbox, I figure I can improve on that
The one we sent to Portugal did 16 kts with a detuned 3306 down to 195 hp

 

[WoundUpMarine]

man that are pretty amazing numbers, hope i get to upgrade one day!

 

[WoundUpMarine]

do you have any more pictures of the the one you posted, helm/wheel house and deck space and such

 

[F/V First Team]

This is the best I have for that, we were working with the new owner about putting lifting rails on for an upgrade so we were looking more at the way the boat was parting the seas than the interior

 

[WoundUpMarine]

when you put lifting rails on do you just cut back through the deck where you need to, to thru-bolt the rails, or are you replacing the deck, or just screwing the rails on?

Was that boat originally fishing out of Bailey Island?

When we install lifting rails, depending on the way the hull was laid up we do different things. On a solid glass installation we through-bolt the lifting rail after bedding it in an elastomeric compound. After that cures we then go and trim any excess length off the bolts and fair over the lock nuts and glass them over. On a cored boat we set the rail, drill the holes for the bolts, remove the rail, use a hole saw on the inside layer and remove the core. We then take fiberglass and reinforce the area that we will be fastening the rail to and let that cure, the fastening holes are then re-bored and the rail is attached like the solid glass method. Excess bolt length is trimmed off, the de-cored areas are filled and then glassed over.

Yes it was

She is riding the swells that they had that particular day, if you look at the owner commanding the vessel and track his line of sight you can see that he is peering over the bow in all of the photos. I believe the previous owner was a bit taller.
