Mag Bay 42

The Howarth legacy began back in 1969 and continued right through until 1990, when the family enterprise launched the first Cabo yacht.

And with the father and son now teaming up with Michael Peters Design for its Mag Bay 42, its sportfish/express hardtop legacy is raised to new levels.

“When we heard about their new company, we jumped at the opportunity to represent them. The 42 Hardtop Express is the perfect fishing or cruising boat for our Great Lakes market,” says Brent Reed of Reed Yacht Sales.

Offering a striking, head-turning profile, the Mag Bay 42 is both a serious fishing machine as well as a family oriented cruiser. For the tight-lines enthusiast you will find round coamings in the gunwales for those times when you are up against it with a big fish. There are a pair of oversized insulated fishboxes in the deck, each with its own macerator, and an 80-gallon livewell aft on the transom. The mezzanine takes full advantage of her 15-foot, 6-inch beam offering lots of storage space.

Performance is provided by a pair of top-of-the-line Volvo D13 1,000-hp engines with standard 13.5kW Onan genset and a Seakeeper 6 gyro stabilizer. The well-thought-out helm offers a trio of Release chairs, a sunroof and a day engine room hatch. A pair of 24-inch Garmin touchscreens presents all releva nt information and a separate compartment holds all of your switches.

Comfort abounds below decks with a well-laid-out design featuring a full galley with plenty of storage, a full head and a queen forepeak berth.

“For the discerning yachtsman seeking a sport fisher built with only the finest components, Mag Bay has simplified the search,” Reed says.
