Since we haven't found any information on the Intrepid 40, or any owners to share information from any product brochures or owners manuals with us, instead we can offer this spec list from a brokered Intrepid 40 that was for sale back in 2003. Though it probably describes more than the standard equipment which would have been on the boat when it left the factory, it should give you a pretty good feel for the Intrepid 40.

The hull is fabricated using conventional fiberglass (shingle-skin E glass mat/roving) construction. Ballast is externally mounted to a fin keel. The rudder is skeg mounted. Hull to deck joint is an inward turning hull flange bedded and bolted to the deck, capped by a thru-bolted teak toe rail.
