Grand Banks 43 Eastbay HX 2003

Introducing the 2003 Grand Banks Eastbay 43 HX, a stunning blend of classic Downeast craftsmanship and contemporary systems. Adorned in a striking Flag Blue finish, with a beautifully appointed teak cockpit and brand-new non-skid surfaces (2024), she embodies the essence of an Eastbay—purposeful, elegant, and timeless. Crafted by Grand Banks Yachts using the esteemed C. Raymond Hunt modified deep-V hull design, the 43 HX is renowned for its smooth, dry ride and exceptional tracking stability. The hull is designed to effortlessly cut through head seas while ensuring remarkable efficiency at both displacement and planning speeds. Equipped with twin Caterpillar 3126B turbo diesels (approximately 2,000 hours), owners can expect a comfortable cruising speed in the mid-20s knots, with a top speed reaching the high 20s, depending on load and conditions. Fuel consumption and RPM are easily monitored through FloScan tachs and a digital engine interface, promoting efficient operation. What truly distinguishes this vessel is her comprehensive upgrade to modern standards, featuring a complete Garmin electronics suite with radar, autopilot, AIS, and NMEA 2000 integration; Maretron tank and engine monitoring; an advanced Victron battery management system with solar capabilities; Starlink connectivity with security cameras for remote monitoring; and new AGM batteries installed in 2025, categorizing her as a 'smart cruiser' rather than just a classic beauty. Below deck, you'll find the warm woodwork and thoughtful layout that made the Eastbay series so beloved: a queen master suite, a separate bunk cabin, a spacious head with VacuFlush toilet and stall shower, and a fully equipped galley featuring a ceramic stove/oven and Grunert refrigeration. Three Dometic air-conditioning units keep the master, salon, and pilothouse cool, while LED lighting and efficient DC fans ensure comfort at anchor and underway. On the exterior, all teak was meticulously stripped and refinished with 12 coats of varnish in 2024, complemented by a complete set of Sunbrella covers for protection. Below the waterline, she received bottom paint and PropSpeed treatment on the running gear in 2025. For those seeking the exceptional ride, esteemed reputation, and unparalleled craftsmanship of Grand Banks, combined with modern systems and advanced monitoring, this Eastbay 43 HX is truly a standout choice.
