Andante1994 Ocean Alexander 423 Classico Trawler for SaleAndante, our lovely 1994 Ocean Alexander trawler, is on the market. She’s located in Shelburne, Vermont on Lake Champlain (Now located in Hampton VA!). Prior to moving north in 2022, we were full-time liveaboards in the New York Harbor and did regional cruising in the Long Island Sound and along the Hudson River. Andante has traveled extensively with previous owners including doing the Great Loop, along the East Coast, and multiple trips to the Bahamas.She has twin Caterpillar 3208 NA engines with 420 total hp, a fully enclosed hardtop flybridge, and a closed-loop multiple zone Kabola diesel heating system that has made for cozy winters as winter liveaboards or when extending the season. Included is an 8.5' Boss Boat hard dinghy with 9.9hp Yamaha motor and electric crane/davit for easy deployment. Bridge clearance is 14’ 8” with the mast down, which makes her an ideal boat for looping or inland cruising, and there is minimal exterior teak for easy yearly maintenance.Andante is a fantastic and well-loved boat - comfortable, well-maintained and beautiful. As a young family of four, she was a wonderful first home together and we will all miss her dearly, but life is taking us in a different direction.Now it’s time for her next chapter: making your Loop or leisure or liveaboard plans a reality!SpecsBoat Name: AndanteBoat Year & Make: 1994 Ocean Alexander Classico 423Lenth of hull: 42'Length including bowsprit and swim platform is 46’Beam: 14' 8”Draft: 3' 10”Bridge Clearance: 14' 8" (with the hinged mast down)Dry Weight: 34200 lbsCruising Speed (both engines combined):7–8 knots @ 1,200-1,400 RPM – Fuel burn: 4-5 GPH8.5-9 knots @ 1,800 RPM – Fuel burn: about 6 GPH (our preferred cruising speed)9.5-10 knots @ 2,000 RPM – Fuel burn: about 7-8 GPH12 knots at 2,300 RPM – Fuel burn: unknownMaximum Speed: 14 knots WOTTanksFresh Water Tanks: (160 Gallons)(2) 80-gallon tanks located in the aft lazarette port/starboardFuel Tanks: (600 Gallons)(1) 300-gallon tank located below the aft stateroom(2) 150-gallon tanks located midship port and starboardEach tank is gravity-fed and can be opened/closedHolding Tanks: (60 Gallons)Mid-ship fuel tanks and water tanks include see-through tube level gaugesEngines and Generator(2) 1994 Caterpillar 3208 NA, 210 HP each - Rebuilt 7/2014 (invoices onboard)Approximately 1,088 hours since the 2014 rebuildEngine Type & Fuel: Inboard DieselNew Racor fuel filters x 2 (Both filters replaced 2024)Westerbeke 8kw diesel-powered generator2,951 hoursPort and Starboard starter batteries are new as of 2024There are two full-sized spare propellers stored under the master stateroom bedAndante is powered by twin 3208 Caterpillar engines.

This station is capable of vessel command with total electronics and controls.

Morning coffee, evening cocktails, entertaining friends or family, keeping everyone dry and happy in less ideal weather… this is a superb feature if you have plans for lengthy passages. And the couches are comfortable enough to sleep on fully stretched out if you’re not on watch.

There’s also an overhead hatch with a screen and blackout shade.Our kiddos loved their room and we put in a small step to make it easy for little ones to get from the sole to the top bunk without assistance. The hanging locker (closet) has some shelving – at one point this closet housed a washer and dryer (still plumbed/ vented) but we never used it for that and have capped the dryer vent from the inside to prevent heat/cold leakage(2) Stainless steel port lights with screens(2) reading lamps - need to check functionalityOverhead lighting and full length wardrobe mirror on back of door12v Adjustable FanThermostat and blower controls for the Kabola heating system zoneJust outside the room is the forward head with a Raritan Crown Head II electric marine toilet and stand-up shower with a built-in seat and a bi-fold door.The Master Stateroom is located aft of the main salon. There is a queen-sized bed with 3 drawers on each side and a custom inner-spring mattress. There is also additional storage under the bed - right now that is where two additional propellers are stored. There are port & starboard-themed lights on each side of the bed. This is a full beam stateroom with stainless steel side portlights and an overhead hatch on the port side – just FYI, you can’t really open this hatch if you have the dinghy stored on deck directly above it. The master stateroom has its own zone of reverse cycle heating/AC. Drawer and door storage cabinets run along the starboard and port sides with two large hanging locker closets forward; one is full length, and the other has removable shelving in it. In the port rear of the stateroom, there is a small desk with a swing-out stool, mirror, and make-up/jewelry storage. There is a full-length wardrobe mirror located on the back of the door. On the port side is also the master head with a stand-up shower with a bi-fold shower door and Raritan Crown Head II electric marine toilet.Deck Features:Transom-mounted swim platformFresh water washdown (hot & cold), starboard on the swim platformFolding swim ladder, port sideSafety rails and recessed walkaroundVery large(!) lazarette storage compartmentP.A. speaker (replaced in 2024)Magma stainless steel grill located on starboard rear of trunk cabin(2) 30 amp shore power connectionsAnchor pulpit with stainless steel chuteWindlass with foot-pedal controls (gearbox replaced in 2019)Electric Crane/Davit with wired remoteRaw water washdown at anchor pulpit (we never used it but it is plumbed)Radar Mast with spreader lightForward hatch and latches replaced in 2020SALE OF BOAT INCLUDES:2005 Boss Boat 8.5' rigid dinghy with a cover and custom cradle2006 Yamaha 9.9hp 4-stroke outboard motorSpare propellersShore power cords + extras (including 50 to 30 amp pigtail)Probably a bunch of other random and useful things we find as we move gear off.Bottom Paint, Spring 2026The bottom was fully inspected, then put two coats of barrier and two coats of Petit Trinidad HD hard copper/epoxy bottom paint. All zincs and anodes replaced at that time.Normal recommissioning items (oil change, check systems, fluid levels, etc.), water pump impeller replacement for the generator, spring cleaning, flush the heating system, etc. done Spring 2026.The top side finish is in serviceable shape, but there is visible wear, and a new owner might eventually want to refinish the boat with either gel coat or modern Marine top-side paint to spruce her up a bit. This is a cosmetic issue only. From 20’ away, you can’t really tell, but if you get closer, you’ll notice that she needs a little love.Overall, the boat is in very good shape and, like most Taiwanese boats, is overbuilt and feels solid underway. We’ve done our best to keep up with maintenance and replace/repair equipment as issues arise. We’ve never had any major issues and don’t know of any on the horizon, but little stuff will always crop up and need to be addressed.It’s hard to part with Andante because we love her and have so many great memories from when our kids were first born, but she’s too much boat for us at this point in our life. Someone looking to live aboard or do coastal cruising/the Great Loop would find her both reliable and very comfortable.
