What surprised me most is how stable this boat is. Even with a few people standing or moving around, it feels solid. The under-seat and console storage is a huge plus—we bring fishing gear, snorkel stuff, and lunch without feeling cluttered.
We use this as a tender for our 50’ cruiser. It’s compact enough to fit on the platform, but with the Yamaha F50LB, it moves! Super impressed with how well it tracks and turns—even when loaded.
I call this my “do-it-all” boat. Whether I’m fishing solo, running the kids to the sandbar, or taking a sunset cruise, the Open 4.2 handles it beautifully. Easy to trailer, simple to operate, and packed with storage.
The 4.2 is super easy to tow with my mid-size SUV, and launching is a breeze. The build quality is clearly premium—nothing feels flimsy. Love the bimini top for those hot afternoons too.
We got this as a first boat for our young family and couldn’t be happier. Safe, fun, and easy to manage. Feels sporty without being intimidating. Worth every penny.
