Grand Banks 38 Eastbay HX

1999 Grand Banks Eastbay 38HX – Classic Downeast Cruiser with Outstanding Potential

PEARL is a classic 1999 Grand Banks Eastbay 38HX that showcases the timeless lines,

respected hull design, and craftsmanship that have made the Eastbay series a favorite among

knowledgeable cruisers. For buyers looking for a capable coastal cruiser with character, she

offers an appealing platform for customization and the chance to make a classic boat their own.

In recent years, both the port and starboard Caterpillar 3208 TA 375hp main engines were

removed for major component replacements and servicing. This significant work provides a solid

mechanical starting point and gives the next owner a strong foundation as they continue bringing

the boat to the next level.

The helm features a traditional, easy-to-use layout with straightforward controls. Equipment

includes autopilot, throttle synchronizer, and a Bennett Auto Tab Control system, providing the

essentials for comfortable cruising while leaving room for electronics modernization if desired.

Below deck, PEARL retains the warm character that Grand Banks interiors are known for, with

classic teak joinery throughout. The U-shaped galley is equipped with Corian countertops,

double sink, refrigerator access through the countertop, and a separate dry storage area with an

adjacent freezer. A three-burner gas cooktop, convection microwave, and generous overhead

storage round out the galley space.

Opposite the galley, a wraparound settee provides comfortable seating and converts into an

additional berth when needed. The vessel also features a full head with shower, toilet, and sink.

Forward, the primary stateroom offers approximately 6'6" of headroom at the leftline, with an

overhead hatch providing natural light and ventilation. The berth includes a removable filler

cushion for flexible use of the space.

With her classic Eastbay profile, strong pedigree, and recent mechanical attention, PEARL

represents a rare opportunity to acquire a respected Eastbay 38HX and continue refining her into

a truly special cruiser. For the right buyer willing to invest some care and vision, she will be well

worth the effort
