Introducing the 2003 Grand Banks Eastbay 43 HX, a stunning vessel that marries the esteemed craftsmanship of one of the top Downeast builders with contemporary systems. Dressed in classic Flag Blue with a beautifully finished teak cockpit and newly applied non-skid surfaces (2024) on the decks and house, she embodies the essence of an Eastbay: purposeful, elegant, and timeless. Crafted by Grand Banks Yachts on the renowned C. Raymond Hunt modified deep-V hull, the 43 HX is known for its smooth, dry ride and outstanding stability. The hull's design allows it to handle head seas effortlessly while delivering excellent efficiency at both displacement and planing speeds. Equipped with twin Caterpillar 3126B turbo diesels (approximately 2,000 hours), this model typically cruises comfortably in the mid-20-knot range, with a top speed in the high 20s, depending on conditions and load. Fuel consumption and RPM are easily monitored through FloScan tachs and a digital engine interface, ensuring efficient operation. What truly distinguishes this boat is its modern upgrades. A comprehensive Garmin electronics suite features radar, autopilot, AIS, and an NMEA 2000 backbone; Maretron monitoring for tanks and engine data; a cutting-edge Victron battery management system with solar power; Starlink for internet connectivity along with security cameras for remote monitoring; and new AGM batteries installed in 2025, elevating her to the 'smart cruiser' category beyond just a classic beauty. Below deck, enjoy the warm joinery and thoughtful layout that made the Eastbay series so beloved: a queen master stateroom, a separate bunk cabin, a spacious head with VacuFlush toilet and stall shower, and a well-equipped galley featuring a ceramic stove/oven and Grunert refrigeration. Three Dometic air-conditioning units keep the master, salon, and pilothouse comfortable, while LED lighting and efficient DC fans enhance the ambiance both 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 fresh bottom paint and PropSpeed treatment on the running gear in 2025. For discerning buyers seeking the perfect blend of ride quality, reputation, and Grand Banks craftsmanship combined with modern systems and serious monitoring capabilities, this Eastbay 43 HX is a standout choice.
