Additionally, for those looking for even more speed and capability, larger optional motors are available as well as the unique surface drive known for its increased top end performance, improved fuel efficiency and lower maintenance.

Optional Foils for Fuel Efficiency and Stability
One of the standout features of the M42 is the option for foils, that was recently introduced by the brand. These innovative additions significantly enhance fuel efficiency and stability by lifting the hull out of the water at higher speeds, reducing drag. This cutting-edge feature is just being introduced on the M37, but we are excited to see its applicability on the M42 for enhanced performance.

Furthermore, an optional hydraulic tender/stairs lift can be installed, adding extra convenience for launching watercraft or simply enjoying the water.
