Description

Classic Bristol Trawler | Twin Perkins Diesels | Two Staterooms | Two Heads | Excellent Liveaboard

If you’ve been searching for a classic cruising trawler that offers exceptional living space, traditional styling, and the accommodations to comfortably spend extended time aboard, this 1977 Bristol 42 deserves a closer look.

Built around a full-displacement hull with a full keel, this Bristol offers the timeless character and purposeful design that made traditional trawlers so appealing. Her generous 13'6" beam creates an impressive amount of interior space, with a layout that feels considerably larger than many boats in this size and price range.

The double-cabin arrangement provides excellent separation between sleeping accommodations. Forward is a private V-berth cabin with its own enclosed head, while the aft master cabin provides another private retreat with an enclosed head and separate shower. Between the two is a spacious main salon and galley, creating a comfortable layout for extended cruising or full-time living aboard.

The port-side galley is equipped with a three-burner propane stove and oven, refrigerator, double sink, pressurized water, and hot water system. Combined with the large salon and abundant interior volume, this is a boat designed for actually living aboard rather than simply spending an occasional weekend on the water.

Power is provided by twin naturally aspirated Perkins 6.354M six-cylinder diesels rated at approximately 130 HP each and coupled to Velvet Drive transmissions. Current indicated engine hours are approximately 2,868 port and 2,252 starboard.

An Onan 7.5 kW diesel generator provides additional capability away from shore power. The boat is also equipped with a 12V electrical system, 110V shore power, inverter, battery charger, hydraulic steering, windlass, radar, GPS/chartplotter, VHF, autopilot, and additional cruising equipment.

Two stainless-steel fuel tanks provide approximately 300 gallons of active fuel capacity. Approximately 200 gallons of diesel are reported to currently be aboard.

Up top, the flybridge provides an additional helm station and excellent visibility while underway or maneuvering. An electric dinghy davit remains installed on the aft cabin deck, giving the next owner the ability to select and carry a tender that best suits their needs. No dinghy is currently included.

For someone looking beyond the typical weekend cruiser, this Bristol becomes particularly interesting. Two private cabins, two heads, a separate shower, full galley, generous salon, substantial fuel capacity, twin diesel power, generator and true trawler layout combine to create an exceptionally versatile platform for cruising, living aboard, or enjoying extended stays on the water.

This Bristol represents an opportunity to own a substantial classic trawler with tremendous space, character, and potential without stepping into the price range of many comparable cruising and liveaboard vessels.
