Boat Details
Description
PARADOX is a very nice Krogen 48' Widebody AND is one of the few 3-cabin 48's built to date. She is in very nice condition and has just received a complete hull compounding/polish/wax and new bottom paint.
PARADOX is a true bluewater cruiser with not only the range, but also the sea keeping and handling characteristics you would expect in a proper trans-oceanic passagemaker. Her fine entry and raised transom make for an easy motion at sea, and her hydraulic fin stabilizers only add to the comfort. Bow and stern thrusters make close quarters maneuvering a breeze.
Begin your cruising adventure in the tropics this winter, PARADOX is ready to go.
Showings by appointment.

Other Details
Construction
Solid fiberglass below the waterline with Kevlar reinforced stem and stern bottom areas and vinyl ester resins used in laminates. Above the waterline, a combination of Knyex mat and Airex are used for added resiliency as well as improved sound and thermal insulation.
The superstructure includes hand-laid Knytex combined with end-grained balsa and/or Divinycell coring and surface mats (to reduce print through). Hull and superstructure molds from high-grade female tooling. Hull and superstructure construction includes use of USA-made Cook gel coat.
Teak aft and side decks. Boat and fore decks have Griptex non-skid finish. Bulwark has molded plank lines with USA- made Cook gel coat finish.
Polyurethane formulated marine sealants used at hull-to-deck, boat joints and exterior fittings.
Marine-grade plywood bulkheads with molded fiberglass hat section stringers.
Teak veneer walls and cabinetry with satin varnish.
Saloon
The saloon is entered through double welded aluminum weather tight doors (complete with retractable screen) off the fully covered aft deck. This back porch can be enclosed by a custom wrap around Textilene cover. There is also a wing door to deflect the elements on the starboard side when seated on the aft deck.
Upon entering the saloon to starboard is an L-shaped settee and a hi-lo table that serves as a coffee table that expands to a large dining table when in the raised position.

All windows have teak valances, Hunter Douglas Silhouette shades and custom Sunbrella curtains.
