Did you find your 5m was plenty big enough for 4 adults? Is a 4.2m boat going to be to small?

I Ve just checked out the wave break site.....never heard of them before......some interesting points of design though.....and fair play to you for supporting a local......
I think 4.2 would be on the small side for what you are asking the boat to do.....I find my boats layout very versatile for gear and passengers......only this week we went waterskiing with gear.......we had 3 large blokes and 4 kids aged 8 on board....one of the reasons I liked the Atomix was the 2.3m beam which is pretty wide.....it feels more substantial than a 5 m boat........out of interest....what kind of money are the wave break boats?..
