| JUST PLAYIN is a 42' Nova Marine 'sport trawler' - a tri-cabin design with aft sundeck,
and was built by Nova Marine boats near Taipei Taiwan,
in mid 1985. Nova Marine boats represent the finest in workmanship, wood craftsmanship, traditional
styling, innovative engineering, and economical long range cruising.
JUST PLAYIN is a US Coast Guard 'Documented Vessel'. |

| Starboardside in our slip | Stern, with 10' Olympian dingy |
| JUST PLAYIN's classic design, offers a unique interior layout that provides spacious comfort with privacy, and we believe was specifically designed for full-time living onboard, as we do. |

As you step inside the spacious but cozy Main salon, you're surrounded by gorgeous teakwood that provides warmth and luxury. Large tinted picture windows assure that nothing outside will be missed. There is a full-sized teak sofa, twin Lazyboy loungers, mood lighting, and an array of home electronics, including satellite TV, DVD/VCR player, and an AM/FM/CD stereo, that provides stereo sound throughout the boat. |
|
|
On the aft wall is a large built-in teakwood cabinet which we converted into a lighted china cabinet with beveled glass doors. The boat is fully carpeted throughout, protecting it's teakwood parquet floors with herring-bone design. |
|
|
Forward and three steps down from the Main salon is a fully-equipped Galley with L-shaped counter top, built-in teakwood hanging cabinets and spice rack, dual stainless steel sinks, full-sized refrigerator-freezer, three burner LPG stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and other kitchen appliances. |
|
|
Across from the Galley is a built-in teakwood dinette that seats four adults in comfort, and also converts into a comfortable double bed, when the Hi-Lo table table top is lowered. The wall-sized mirror add depth and dimension to the entire Main cabin. |
|
|
Aft and three steps down from the Main salon is the spacious Captain's cabin, with built-in teakwood storage cabinets and counter tops, two hanging lockers (closets), a center-island queen bed, mood lighting, and an on-suite head (toilet and sink) with walk-in stall shower. Note the windows and mirrors all around, giving an open spacious feeling. |

Up four steps from the Aft sundeck, is the fully-enclosed Flybridge. It is spacious and carpeted, with large picture windows, upper helm drive station, Captain's chair, and comfortable wrap-around bench-seating for eight adults. This is where I drive the boat from. There is another second drive station in the Main Salon, but I never drive from there. Better visiability from the Flybridge, and the radar display and GPS are located here as well. |

| Starboardside seating. | Portside seating |
| The fully-enclosed Sundeck and Flybridge, provide full protection from the weather, on those cold windy rainy days. |
|
|
Forward, is the spacious Foredeck that provides an excellent place to sit or layout on those warm sunny summer days. |
|

JUST PLAYIN has a semi-displacement hull that extends down a little less than 4' from the waterline, and 'slices through the water' rather than bouncing over top of it, providing a more stable, smooth, comfortable ride, even in choppy water. It's shallow draft allow us to safely transit shallow areas and anchor reasonably close to shore. |
|
|
Shortly after buying our boat (May 2000), we renamed her JUST PLAYIN because... we feel like a couple of kids 'just playing', when we are out cruising around. We commissioned a well-known Port Townsend artist, who freehand painted JUST PLAYIN in kid's block-letter style, across the front of the Bridge. |
