2004 Grand Banks 49 Eastbay HX

This 54-foot express cruiser showcases the proven deep-vee hull design Grand Banks built for serious offshore work. Twin Cummins QSM-11 diesels—660 horsepower each—deliver the power and reliability needed for extended cruising, with engines and genset serviced in late 2024, engine and transmission coolers serviced in spring 2025, and running gear freshly refreshed in summer 2025. The boat cruises at 26 knots and reaches 30 knots at full throttle, backed by a complete Garmin electronics suite including chartplotter, radar, AIS, and autopilot.

What distinguishes this boat is its rare single-stateroom layout—one of only four Grand Banks 49 Eastbay HX models built this way. Rather than dividing the interior conventionally, the design opens the forward section into a truly spacious master stateroom with ensuite head, paired with an unusually generous galley that suits couples who live aboard or cruise extensively. The salon sofa converts to a guest berth, maintaining the open, airy feel. Upgraded teak upper bulkheads replace standard fiberglass throughout, adding warmth and refinement. Climate control spans four zones via Cruisair systems with heating and cooling; the appliance package includes a Wolf oven, Jenn-Air cooktop, KitchenAid microwave, and Whirlpool refrigerator.

The helm features Stidd 500-series chairs, Glendinning electronic controls, and full Garmin navigation equipment. Eisenglass has been replaced with bonded EZ2CY panels. A new custom cockpit awning was installed in 2026, and the FreedomLift tender launch was serviced in 2025. The boat carries a 2018 Avon 12-foot RIB with Yamaha 40 outboard, a life raft, and comprehensive safety systems including a Fireboy fire suppression installation certified in 2025. The fiberglass hull sports an Imron finish with white and red boot stripe; varnished teak toe-rails and stainless railings complete the exterior.
