X-Yachts X4³-2 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an X-Yachts X4³-2 means looking at a 43-foot performance cruiser that is the first second-generation Pure-range design from the builder, not a continuation of the older X4.3. Owners will find a boat that carries its beam further aft than before, with a wider transom and cockpit, and a rig slightly taller than the previous generation. On the used market, owner three-cabin layouts are more common, though both layout types appear, and ex-charter examples are a frequent presence.
Layouts on the Used Market
The below-deck layout of the X4³-2 remained relatively unchanged from its predecessor even as the hull and deck were reworked, so buyers stepping aboard a used example will recognize a proven interior. The wider transom and cockpit created by the aft-carried maximum beam give more outdoor volume, and the higher cockpit sole improves headroom over the aft berths. Three-cabin owner versions lead the field in numbers, but two-cabin boats are out there, and ex-charter hulls — common in this model — are worth a closer look for wear patterns even if cosmetically refreshed.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
The most consequential gear on these boats clusters around sail handling and power. Commonly fitted are a furling main, asymmetric spinnaker, code zero, and a spinnaker for offwind work, all supported by the standard six Harken Performa winches with one electrified for the main halyard. A bimini and teak decks are also common owner-fitted items for cruising comfort. The longer integral bowsprit and taller rig mean a used boat's inventory of offwind sails matters more than on the old generation; verify the code zero or asymmetric is present and sized to the bowsprit rather than treating it as an afterthought.
What to Inspect
The keel assembly deserves close attention: the lead ballast bulb is bolted and glued to a cast iron fin, with the entire keel coated in glass and epoxy, and rig and keel loads are carried by a galvanized steel grid incorporated into the hull galvanized steel grid in the hull. Check the keel-to-fin joint and the grid bonding for any sign of movement or osmotic damage under that coating. The vacuum-infused, post-cured epoxy foam-cored hull should be surveyed for bonding of the fully structural bulkheads and the collision bulkhead forward, since these are load-bearing and not cosmetic. The rudder, shaped with particular care by the builder, should be inspected for bearing wear given the smooth helm feedback it was designed to deliver.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These boats typically appear in the United States and Denmark. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm the layout type and ex-charter history; verify the full offwind sail set including code zero or asymmetric on the longer bowsprit; inspect the keel joint, steel grid, and epoxy coating; and survey the bonded bulkheads and forward collision bulkhead. A careful look at those structural nodes will tell you more about a used X4³-2 than any inventory list.
