2002 – Princess V42 with many upgrades and Volvo Penta KAD300’s

Parker Adams Boat Sales are pleased to bring to market this beautifully presented 2001 Princess V42, built as a 2002 model and powered by the highly desirable twin Volvo Penta KAD300 diesel engines.

Offering a combined 570hp, this impressive sports cruiser delivers the performance, handling and build quality for which Princess is so well known. The engines have covered approximately 1,000 hours and are supported by a comprehensive service history and engines just serviced and ready to go for the season.

Presented in fantastic condition for her age, she has clearly benefited from careful ownership and continued investment. Recent improvements include approximately £15,000 of upgraded Raymarine electronics, including an Axiom 12 multifunction display, radar, AIS, autopilot and an M232 thermal night-vision camera.

This V42 also comes with an interesting history, having previously been owned by Formula One racing driver David Coulthard.

Her spacious cockpit is designed for entertaining, with generous seating, a wet bar and refrigerator. An integral teak-laid bathing platform, hot and cold transom shower and foldaway swimming ladder make her equally well suited to days at anchor.

Below deck, the interior is finished in Princess’s elegant natural cherry joinery with a deep-lacquered finish, complemented by cream leather upholstery. Accommodation includes a comfortable saloon, fully equipped galley and separate sleeping cabins, making her an excellent choice for extended cruising and weekends aboard.
