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. Raymond Hunt's naval architecture and Grand Banks' build quality, with a beam of 13.25 feet providing stability and room below.
The interior centers on a warm teak cabin with exceptional joinery and a teak and holly sole. 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.
Recent maintenance and upgrades include engine service in August 2025 with starboard aftercooler and port water pump work. New shafts and props were installed in 2022. The helmdeck varnish was stripped and reapplied in spring 2024, and a new extended teak swim platform was added in spring 2023. Electronics include dual plotters and radar. Interior upholstery was renewed in 2021-2022, along with a new helm seat. The boat shows under 1,300 hours on the engines.
