The 1999 Grand Banks 43 Eastbay is a fiberglass flybridge cruiser powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines producing 700 horsepower, with a cruising speed of 7.56 knots. At 43 feet in length with a 13-foot beam, the boat offers substantial presence and stability for extended cruising.
The layout includes two cabins and one head, providing comfortable accommodation for cruising couples or small groups. The open cockpit design is typical of the Eastbay platform, with flybridge command and protected helm station.
Recent work includes a bow thruster installed in 2022, davits added in 2024, and radar replaced the same year. The hull received fresh antifouling and anodes in 2025, along with new batteries. Interior updates span 2023 to 2025 and include new mattress and slats in the forward cabin, a combination microwave, LED salon lighting, new Fusion audio system, and exterior refrigeration. Exterior improvements include teak varnish work completed in 2024, a shortened and repainted mast, full canvas and covers, swim ladder, and new fenders with holders. Toilet hoses were replaced in 2024, and interior soft furnishings including an L-shaped dinette with cushions were updated in 2023.
