Knowlegeable boaters readily appreciate the solid feel of our rugged construction, the beauty of our traditional, luxurious interiors and the dependability of our expertly installed machinery and systems. These are recognized characteristics of a Grand Banks built yacht. Following the overnight success of the Eastbay 38 Express, the 43 Flybridge sedan and the 43 Sedan evolved into the logical extension of the Eastbay line. For those who wanted the speed and agility of the critically acclaimed 38 Express, but who needed more generous accommodations the Eastbay 43 was born. Typical power delivers cruising speeds of 24 knots and top speeds of 28 knots.
Higher speeds are attainable with optional engine packages.
With 450 gallons of fuel on board, cruising ranges in excess of 400 nautical miles are achievable. Most importantly, the ride of the Ray Hunt hull is dry and comfortable, even in choppy seas. With their offshore performance and work boat pedigree, the Hunt designed and Grand Banks built Eastbay 43 can easily handle sea conditions that will make even the most seasoned skipper or crew confident in the Eastbay's pedigree. Having such confidence at sea also results from the Grand Banks philosophy of building to heavy duty, rugged scantlings. While some builders boast of weight saving construction techniques, the overall design of the Eastbay 43 encourages a conservative approach to construction.
