Notes
Hull #1 for this boat is listed as having been completed in 1965. It appears that, from the beginning, it was called the SPENCER 42-2. If there was in fact an earlier version, how it may have differed from the one shown here is unknown. A number have been completed as kits. The boats that were completed at the factory were usually customized to the original customers requirements. Listed dimensions are from a builder's brochure but can vary.
