2001 Grand Banks 38 Eastbay HX

This 2001 Grand Banks 38 Eastbay HX is a fiberglass downeast cruiser powered by twin Caterpillar 3208 diesel engines producing 435 horsepower each. The boat runs at a cruising speed of 23 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 28 knots. The design reflects C.

Forward is a V-berth stateroom sleeping two, while the main salon features a convertible dinette that accommodates two additional guests. The galley is U-shaped with a stove, oven, built-in microwave, and refrigerator-freezer. The head includes a shower sump, medicine cabinet, storage, and a Vacu-flush waste system. Additional interior details include cedar-lined hanging lockers, stainless steel opening ports, and large overhead hatches. The boat is equipped with air conditioning and reverse cycle heating through generator or shore power connection.
