Broker's Comments:
When the Grand Banks 42 was introduced in 1966, the distinctive powerboat was hailed by The Rudder magazine as a “hefty long-distance cruiser.”
“Few , if any, are more recognizable or in greater demand than the Grand Banks 42,” says naval architect and writer Jack Hornor. “It is a near-perfect coastal cruising powerboat.”
Important is that this boat has had recent hull work done by prominent local shipwrights. The work included "wooding out" of the hull, which means removing all of the paint down to bare wood., giving attention to the condition the seams, planks and fasteners, then building up a beautiful new paint surface. The result is that the hull and handrails look "as new."
This vessel is very well equipped with current navigation equipment, the engines run well, the forward cabin is inviting for guests and the aft cabin includes a washer-dryer. Whether operating from the flybridge or the inside helm you will travel in comfort and style. The interior is kept comfortable by reverse-cycle heat/air.
GB 42s are recognized wherever they travel. The 2023 survey states "IN ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION" even before the current hull and cap rail refinishing.
