One of the most desirable features of the Grand Banks 42 is her roomy full teak interior.
- FREE AT LAST is powered by twin 140hp, 4-cylinder two-stroke Detroit Diesel's Model 4-53. She has approximate range of 1200 miles at 8 knots.
- 600 hours since major rebuild on both engines, all records available.
- Current owners purchased her in 2010 and have completed numerous updates since taking ownership.
