1983 Grand Banks 42 Classic

The 1983 Grand Banks 42 Classic is a fiberglass trawler built on the proven semi-displacement hull design that defined the model's four-decade run. Twin Ford Lehman diesel engines deliver 270 horsepower combined and show 2,993 hours. The boat cruises at 8.7 knots and carries 600 gallons of fuel, 265 gallons of water, and 50 gallons of waste capacity. A bow thruster was recently installed.

The layout follows the classic two-stateroom, two-head arrangement. Forward is a V-berth with private head and shower. The main saloon features an L-shaped settee, teak table, and full windows around. The galley sits to port with substantial storage, while the lower helm is to starboard with direct deck access. The aft owner's stateroom includes split berths port and starboard with head and shower to starboard. A small aft cockpit serves line handling.

The hull design combines long keel, hard chines, and deep forefoot—engineering that gave the 42 its reputation for seaworthiness and comfort. Interior surfaces feature warm teak throughout. The fiberglass hull is the foundation for this 43-foot cruiser, which spans 14 feet at the beam.
