A distinctive boat with her stylish cabin windows, aggressive bridge overhang, and reversed radar arch, the 4207 Aft Cabin was Carver's first attempt at the big-boat market. She sold well during her production years, and used Carver 42s remain popular today thanks to a roomy, well arranged floorplan and generally attractive aftermarket prices. She was built on a conventional modified-V hull with balsa coring in the hullsides and a solid fiberglass bottom. Two floorplans were offered: one with a dinette and the other without. The salon seems big for a 42-footer and both heads are fitted with stall showers. The aft deck has room for a table and chairs, and the bridge will seat six comfortably. Most were sold with a lower helm and hardtop - both optional. While diesels are certainly preferred in a boat this size, probably the majority of Carver 4207 Aft Cabins were delivered with the standard 454cid gas engines (just 13-14 knots cruise/22 knots top). Cat 375hp diesels, which this is fitted with, were a popular (and very desirable) option since they'll cruise the boat at an honest 20 knots and reach a top speed in the neighborhood of 24 knots.
