1993 Ocean Alexander 423 Classico | 42ft

423 Classico Double Cabin – Classic Trawler Style, Modern Comfort

Wide-beam, bow AND stern thrusters, updated electronics, and diesel furnace. Perfectly powered with twin 3208 Caterpillars, less than 3000 engine hours, economical 7-8-knot cruise, with 16 knots available when needed.

The LAISSEZ FAIRE is designed for comfort, practicality, and performance. With her traditional trunk cabin profile, full walkaround decks, and two-stateroom interior layout, she will appeal to those who admire classic trawler style yet appreciate the ability to cruise at better-than-trawler speeds when desired.

Recent Upgrades (last 7 years)

• Bow & stern thrusters – simplified docking in any condition
• Dual Garmin 7612 GPS/Radar plotters – one at each helm station
• 2500W inverter with 120A charger – dependable onboard power
• Webasto diesel furnace – cozy year-round cruising
• New canvas bridge enclosure (2025) and bridge seating cushions (2024)
• December 2025 fresh bottom paint and zincs!

Her super-wide beam provides outstanding interior volume and generous outdoor living spaces. The cutaway keel and prop pockets help protect the running gear, while her stylish lines and versatile deck arrangements make her equally suited for family cruising, entertaining, or Northwest year-round adventures.
