This 2005 Grand Banks 49 Eastbay SX is a Salon Express model with the factory hard-backed salon enclosure and a side door at the helm leading to the side decks—features that distinguish it within the Eastbay lineup. Twin Caterpillar C12 diesel engines rated at 1,410 horsepower power the boat to a cruising speed of 25 knots and a maximum of 30 knots. The engines have logged 2,060 hours and remain current on service. The hull is fiberglass with an Awlgrip paint finish and benefits from professional media blasting and fresh barrier coat and bottom paint applied in 2024.
The yacht's accommodations and systems reflect comprehensive recent investment. The boat includes bow and thrusters, upgraded 17.5 kW generator, two STIDD pedestal helm chairs, Soundown noise control insulation in the salon, Oceanair blinds throughout, and entertainment systems including two televisions, satellite television, and Bluetooth audio. Navigation equipment comprises Furuno MaxSea NavNet 3D with East Coast and Bahamas Explorer charts. Communications include a Starlink installation and high-speed internet router with wifi.
Mechanical and structural work completed in 2024 and early 2025 includes professional examination and updating of both main engines with new heat exchangers, all hoses, belts and clamps replaced, and professionally serviced generator with new heat exchanger and water pump. All four air-conditioning units were removed, rebuilt, and compressors replaced. The black water system was cleaned and refurbished in 2025. Power steering, aftercoolers, and new oil change systems were installed in prior years. All brightwork teak was stripped to bare wood and finished with 14 coats of varnish in 2024, and exterior caulking around house and windows was replaced the same year. All mattresses were replaced in 2021, and new soft goods and carpeting were installed in the salon and galley.
