Grand Banks is renowned for its seaworthiness from its heavy displacement, full length keel, hard chine and deep draft. The 42 Classic is an exceptional craft that has held its value and continues to deliver top performance. 1973 is the first year Grand Banks made a fiberglass hull. This boat has a traditional yacht look, featuring Grand Banks' famous artistry in golden Burmese teak, hand-crafted parquet soles, rich hued ceilings, hand carved rails, fitted cabinetry and trim. She is powered with twin Ford Lehman's featuring a flybridge with dual helm.
This Grand Banks 42 Classic is in great condition and would make a great liveaboard. The engines are completely refurbished, and while most of the mechanical work is done, the remodeling still needs to be completed in the forward lavatory. The teak decks are in good condition but could use a chemical brightening treatment, and some windows need to be replaced.
The built-in comfort and convenience of the Grand Banks 42 Classic makes it great for liveaboard or long weekends.
