Monk Overseas Motor Cruiser 1988

Introducing the 1988 Overseas Monk 42 Trawler - a beautifully upgraded vessel that's ready for adventure! This classic trawler combines timeless design with significant enhancements where it matters most. Built in Taiwan, it boasts a sturdy hull, a spacious beam, and efficient twin diesel engines with low operating hours, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride perfect for coastal cruising, the Great Loop, or long-term living aboard. One of its remarkable features is the shallow 3.5-foot draft and approximately 24-foot air draft, allowing access to cruising locations that many similar-sized trawlers cannot reach. Having mostly spent its life in freshwater on the St. Johns River, this boat has been meticulously maintained by a retired engineer for the past 12 years, showcasing a commitment to quality care. Between 2014 and 2026, extensive maintenance and upgrades were performed, covering essential mechanical services, running gear enhancements, steering improvements, and ongoing system upgrades including air conditioning, pumps, and batteries. This trawler is turn-key and ready to hit the water, designed for low maintenance with no teak decks and minimal exterior wood to reduce upkeep and maximize your time on the water. The aft cabin is a standout feature, offering a centerline queen berth that is a rarity in its class. Additional highlights include a fully enclosed flybridge, wide walkarounds, and a cozy teak interior, perfect for comfortable cruising or living aboard.
