Description
Whether you are looking to hang out at the dock, cruise locally, or cruise extensively on a budget then this boat may be for you. This classic Jefferson 42 is a 2 cabin 2 head split layout. Her aft cabin is quite spacious with a queen size walk around berth and an ensuite head with a bathtub and tons of storage. Her lower helm with side entry door makes her easy to handle alone. She has low original hours on her CAT 3208's. She suffers from the typical Jefferson water staining from previous leaks but does not have any known active leaks. She has a clean slate for the electronics of your choice to be added to the existing Garmin chart plotter.

Raised as an "army brat" Charity has traveled extensively and was introduced to boating by her aunt and uncle at the age of 6. She currently lives in Chattanooga, TN and has been boating on the Tennessee River since 1999. After a 25 year career in the medical field, in 2015 she purchased a local marina and took the plunge into "all things boats." Since that time she, along with her 4 children, have run a successful marina, marine service, rental boat operation, boating supply store, and brokerage. In 2017, she also acquired her captain's license and began doing training and deliveries. In 2021, she sold the marina and has since focused on the brokerage and captaining side of boating. Charity loves what she does and it shows. She has a passion for sharing her love of the water and boating with others to ensure everyone has the opportunity to love it as much as she does.
