1997 Sealine 420 Statesman

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how much boat Sealine squeezed into 42 feet. The split-level saloon feels like a small apartment, with big windows that flood the space with light and give everyone a view, not just the helm. The galley is tucked down just enough to be practical, yet still open to the conversation. Two proper cabins, each with their own heads, make weekend guests easy to accommodate. Up top, the flybridge is surprisingly generous for this size, with seating that keeps the skipper in the social circle. Wide side decks, solid rails, and plenty of grab handles make line handling and docking feel secure, even shorthanded.

This 420 Statesman is particularly well suited to local cruising grounds that mix open stretches with winding, protected waterways. The flybridge helm offers great visibility for picking your way through crab pots, channel markers, and marina fairways, while the lower helm keeps you comfortable when the weather turns or the sun is too strong. Twin diesels and a moderate draft give you confidence in chop without sacrificing access to quieter, shallower coves. The layout is ideal for long, lazy raft-ups or extended weekends aboard, with enough indoor space to retreat when afternoon storms roll through and a welcoming cockpit for evening gatherings at the dock.
