After a lot of research, reading, and visiting several different used, in the water brands and models - focused in the 38 to 50 foot range - the Californian 42 or 43 (depending upon the year) appear to check my several boxes: solid reputation, good resale value, twin diesels, roomy layout, separate shower(s), multiple areas to spend time and stretch out (flybridge, front deck, aft cockpit), nice swim platform, ability to fish from the rear cockpit, ability to cruise comfortably and efficiently, seaworthy in open ocean conditions.
So, my question: Would anyone steer me away from buying a Californian 42 or 43 in the 1984 to 1990 period?
