2022 Cruisers 42GLS Outboard

• By Capt. Chris Caswell
• February 26, 2022

Some builders enter the outboard market timidly, with one toe in the water at a time. Cruisers, however, jumped into the deep end with a full cannonball, first with its 38GLS and now with the triple-engine 42GLS. If you don’t fall in love with this fun boat at first glance, well, check your pulse.

For starters, Cruisers decided that if one foldout beach on the 38 was good, then two on the 42 would be more than twice as good. And the builder is right. Having hullsides that morph into extended deck areas doesn’t just recapture space lost to outboards on the transom platform, but it also creates an entirely new fun area to explore. Suddenly, you don’t just have a boat with 13-foot beam, but one with nearly 19 feet of deck for entertaining and playing in the water.

Aside from the 4 feet in length and two beaches, why opt for the 42? There’s a lot of reasons. The 42GLS is a true express cruiser with a full hardtop running far enough aft from the windshield to give sun protection to the wraparound dinette, and it has a big electric sunroof (standard) for when you want some breeze. The 38GLS had a T-top but is really a big bowrider, while the 42GLS has not only the hardtop but also a full glass enclosure on the sides, an express-cruiser feature we appreciated in a lumpy inlet leading to the Gulf Stream.

Interior and Accessories

That 4 feet also translates into a civilized cabin (6 feet, 7 inches of headroom) that would encourage overnighting, with a full queen berth tucked in a private playpen aft, a dinette that converts to a tapered queen for kids (or in-laws), and a mini galley with a fridge and microwave to heat the coffee when you don’t want to tiptoe out to the cockpit galley in your jammies. 

There’s a rinse-off shower on the transom, but the big enclosed head in the cabin has a stand-up shower to get you squeaky clean, plus a vanity with toiletry stowage.

The cockpit galley is impressive, with the available Kenyon grill, and even a TV (think alfresco movie nights) that moves from the salon to the cockpit. Stools turn the raised galley counter into a bar, and I settled in there quite comfortably for our outing.   

The skipper has the best seat in the house: a bolstered double-wide helm chair overlooking an impeccably arranged dash with twin Simrad monitors and clearly labeled buttons for systems. The joystick for the triple outboards is exactly where I wanted it, just in front of the throttle and shifters. The skipper gets air-conditioning vents, and with the addition of a zippered back door to the cockpit, this entertaining area can be cooled or heated for all-season comfort just like the cabin. 

Safe access to the bow is through a clever windshield door that flips away. There’s also a recessed gate for spray or breeze protection, and parents will delight in the high coamings forward for kid security.  

There’s nothing unusual about the wraparound seating in the bow until you lift a cushion, where you’ll find nicely finished storage bins. In fact, Cruisers has gone to lengths to make every possible dead space into a stowage nook, cranny or locker. The bow seating has a table that converts to a sun pad, multiple cup holders (even in the fold-down armrest), and an optional sunshade. A Genius anchor windlass is hidden out of sight under a foredeck hatch, with controls by foot buttons or at the helm. 

This hull is a development of the well-proven 38GLS, and we had a chance to give the 42GLS a serious test in some square-edged Atlantic seas. On a couple of waves, we got to play astronaut—you know, we went weightless. But the hull, with its 21-degree transom deadrise, brought us down softly. 

Cruisers does an excellent job with construction, using a mix of infused resin and hand-laid glass (but no wood) to create a tough hull and superstructure. I was impressed that the builder makes all its own wiring harnesses in-house, with every wire labeled for future tracing, and it does its own woodwork and upholstery to a luxurious level. The weld work on stanchions and rails is polished and jewellike. 

I also liked the outstanding access to the various underdeck systems, with filters, batteries and seacocks in well-finished bilges and compartments. Our test boat had the optional 5.5 kW diesel genset to keep the margaritas flowing and the air conditioner blowing, and it was readily accessible along with its separate 20-gallon fuel tank. A Seakeeper gyrostabilizer is an option, and Cruisers has allotted ample room for it in the machinery area aft.

Shopping around? Check out the Sea Ray 400 SLX ($718,078), which is a bit shorter, and comes with a T-top and no beaches.

So, what’ll the 42 do? Our test boat had a trio of 400 hp Mercury Verados, giving us a solid 52 mph in the smooth spots. You can opt for 350 or 450 hp Verados, but I thought this triple outboard package was perfect.

I loved the 42GLS for its flexibility, fun, performance, and solid design and construction. Small enough and fast enough for water toys, elegant enough for cocktail cruises, and comfortable enough that overnighting will be a plan, not an afterthought. What’s not to like with this cannonball into the deep end?

How We Tested

• Engine: Triple 400 hp Mercury Verado
• Drive/Prop: Outboard/14.5″ x 15″ Merc 4-blade XP

Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS Offers 45 Knots of Fun

• By Chris Caswell
• Updated: August 5, 2021

The Cruisers Yachts’ 42 GLS is the perfect pocket cruiser with 45 knots of on-the-water fun. I write this with confidence because that’s the top speed the 42 GLS I got aboard hit during speed runs off South Florida. The boat was powered with optional triple 400 hp Mercury Verado outboards, slightly larger than the standard triple 350 hp Verados but smaller than the largest triple 450 hp Verado option. It’s a great setup for wakeboarding or towing the kids in tubes. I ran the express cruiser across a lumpy Gulf Stream with lots of potholes to challenge its deep-V hull form with 21-degree transom deadrise, and my ride never saw spray on the windshield.

In addition to being a solid performer, the 42 GLS serves as an at-sea party platform. The cockpit is pure entertainment, the twin barstools facing aft over the sink, fridge and bottle stowage to the U-shaped dinette to the swiveling aft bench seat that faces inward or toward the foldout platforms far aft. Owners can add a barbecue grill (steaks, anyone?) as well as a TV to watch the game from the dinette.

The lower salon has a U-shaped dinette that becomes a tapered queen-size berth when needed. The dedicated stateroom has a nearly queen-size berth set up athwartships. The 6-foot-7-inch headroom extends into the enclosed head with a stand-up shower. In the mornings, owners can prep coffee and croissants with the salon’s fridge and microwave.

In terms of maintenance accessibility, there is unimpeded access to water strainers and batteries. There’s also an optional Seakeeper for roll-free cruising, a standard oversize sunroof for bringing in the outside, and a standard 5 kW generator to fire up the blender when it’s time for sundowners. Because the boat is designed for watery fun, it will be no surprise when sand finds its way into the cockpit or salon, so the 42 GLS has a central vacuum system that also comes standard.

The close-quarters boat handling is done via a Mercury joystick, which, during my time aboard, allowed the 42 GLS to slide sideways out of an incredibly tight slip sans white knuckles.

Well-appointed and with speed, space and solid handling, the Cruisers 42 GLS is fun at 45 knots and while just drifting and dreaming.

All In-House

To manage quality control, Cruisers Yachts does everything in-house, from labeled wiring harnesses to welded rails to stitched upholstery. On the Cruisers 42 GLS I got aboard, the woodwork trim in the salon and stateroom had a first-rate finish.

Why Outboards?

There are numerous reasons for outboard power, starting with easy maintenance. Service techs can easily access them by popping off the cowling. Outboards also allow owners to sidle into the shallows on sandbars and put the 42 GLS’s fold-down platforms to good use. Today’s outboards are relatively quiet and fuel-efficient too.
