Overview

Winter’s Dream is an excellent example of the Krogen Express 49′, with a well documented maintenance record and an exceptional upgrade history.  With her James Krogen designed semi-displacement hull, she’s equally comfortable at 9 knots, burning just 5 gph, and 15+ knots.  Dressed in classic Flag Blue, this Krogen Express continues to turn heads wherever she goes.

The spirit and virtues of commuter yachts of the twenties and thirties were reborn in a craft destined for the twenty-first century with the introduction of the Krogen Express.  With her twin 350 hp Caterpillar 3116s, the graceful style of the Krogen Express 49′ is easily matched by her exhilarating mid-teen cruise capabilities.  At the same time, her efficient semi-displacement hull delivers trawler economy at displacement speeds.

Conceived and styled by Kurt M. Krogen and designed and engineered by the late James S. Krogen, she delivers traditional quality and exceptional value. Finely finished to the most exacting specifications, her fluid lines and exceptional performance will satisfy the most demanding yachtsmen for years to come. Based on the test data and sea trials, it is evident that the 49′ is one of the best performing semi-displacement motor yachts available. Her spacious pilothouse, wonderfully livable salon and aft deck, generous staterooms, walk-in engine room, and superb finish make her an exciting and uniquely attractive package. She comes with a long list of standard equipment including: custom entertainment cabinet in salon, reverse cycle Cruiseair® with SMX controls, AquaDrive® system, Lewmar® windlass, Glendinning® Cable Master, underwater exhaust, and effective sound insulation in the engine room, to name just a few.

Hull Design

Designed by James Krogen, the Krogen Express 49′ combines classic, timeless style with exceptional seakeeping and efficiency. Her plumb stem, raised bow, and broad beam forward allow her to slice through the waves with ease while providing surprising space in her accommodations. Her low profile allows her to get under bridges as low as 15′ and with a draft of just 4′, she’ll take you places most 50 footers won’t. Her semi-displacement hull delivers trawler efficiency at displacement speeds with true cruise capabilities in the mid-to-upper teens. And her generous keel provides stability and protection for her twin bronze propellers.

• Semi-displacement hull allows efficient operation at trawler speeds along with mid-to-upper teen cruise speeds
• Plumb stem provides for a long waterline and exceptional volume below decks forward
• Lengthy, sturdy keel protects the props and adds stability
• Hall & Stavert 26″ x 22″ bronze 4-blade props
