The Ocean Alexander 43 Double Cabin earned a reputation early on as one of a handful of better-quality Asian imports of her era. Along with the earlier 50 Pilothouse, the 43 did much to establish the Ocean Alexander name in the U.S. marine industry. Unlike most Taiwan trawlers of the early 1980s, the 43 is relatively free of exterior teak?a big plus in the minds of most owners. Below deck, the all-teak interior is arranged with a centerline queen berth in the full-width aft stateroom and stall showers in both heads. The galley is down, and the salon dimensions are adequate if not especially spacious. Port and starboard salon doors provide easy deck access, and visibility from the lower helm is excellent. Additional features include simulated lapstrake hullsides, a roomy flybridge with the helm forward, and a long keel of sufficient depth to offer some protection to the running gear in case of grounding. A popular model during (and after) her production years, this platform offers the desirable Cummins 555 Diesel power plants.SALON:L shape built-in settee aft starboard, Breakfast counter forward port, Door to Sundeck, Sliding Deck Door, Lower Helm,Teak Cabinets, Teak Flooring, Electric Heat, Large Windows.Galley:Deep Stainless Steel Sink, Stove / Oven, Large Refrigerator / freezer, Microwave, Teak storage and draws, Teak Floors, Built in Dinette Master:Walk Around Bed, Desk, Shelving, Closets, Teak Cabinets, Master Head and Shower, Opening Portlights,Overhead Forward Hatch.
