That’s what the Ricker 42 got us. It’s called a “fast trawler” because it has the trawler hull shape but can cruise at 14 knots without using too much diesel. We had two a/c units, a generator (so we could use the a/c at anchor if needed), a regular sized refrigerator/freezer, smooth-top electric stove and convection microwave oven. We even had a combo washer/dryer installed. It held two hundred gallons of fresh water, 400 gallons of diesel, TWO heads with vacu-flush toilets and walk-in showers, two staterooms with queen beds, a built-in wine chiller and 35” LCD flat screen TV. We were livin’ fine!

Sounds like heaven. Lol. I like trawlers but am not big on the interior of them. I like the interior better on Carver, Hatteras, and even Sea Ray aft cabins. Even when we bought our sailboat I was really picky about the interior. That’s where you spend most of your time so the saloon better be comfy. Nice boat!
