1987 Grand Banks 49 Motor Yacht

The Grand Banks 49 is a fiberglass trawler built for serious cruising. Her three-cabin, two-head layout centers on a full-beam master stateroom aft, with generous headroom throughout. The design emphasizes practicality: wide side decks with non-skid surfaces, teak accents, and factory fiberglass decks without teak overlay that reduce routine maintenance. Topside includes a flybridge and expansive aft deck.

The interior combines functionality and comfort. The salon features a large galley, abundant storage, and convenient access to the starboard side deck. Rich wood finishes and thoughtful spatial arrangement create a livable environment suited to extended time aboard, with the warmth and usability of a much larger boat.

Twin Detroit Diesel 6-71N engines rated at 235 hp each drive the yacht at a cruising speed of 9 knots, with a maximum of 14 knots. Fuel capacity reaches 1,300 gallons and fresh water storage is 520 gallons, supporting long-range independence. Stabilizers and bow and stern thrusters enhance comfort and control in varying conditions. The electrical system includes dual Onan generators—20 kW and 8 kW.

Navigation and monitoring equipment includes a comprehensive Garmin electronics suite. This 49-footer represents the classic Grand Banks philosophy: proven design, reliable engineering, and the capability for confident offshore and extended cruising.
