1995 Grand Banks Eastbay 38

Branford, Connecticut

$150,000

ENCORE is one of the very desireable Eastbay 38's by Grand Banks - a design that has been admired and respected since inception.  These boats speak for themselves - and if you are looking at them, you likely already know the reputation and advantages they bring.  

ENCORE has had excellent ownership, with her current owner giving her proper use and care for the last 14 years.  She shows well, and has many updates, and has had proper mechanical care.  Her current owner owned a successful boat yard in Rhode Island (he was also in the marine industry in several other capacities for years) and he treats ENCORE as you would expect a boat yard owner would.  

This particular Eastbay benefits from a hard top - a wonderful upgrade which makes a big improvement on the soft top.  One of her engines was replaced about 900 hours ago, and both engines are running perfectly.  She is a joy to operate and super comfortable underway.

Encore is ready to cruise now.  There is nothing needed before heading out for your first cruise.  She is ready for some cosmetics, if desired by the new owner, and is priced to reflect and allow this.

If you are looking for an Eastbay 38 with the right options and maintenance history, and the benefit of a hardtop, come take a look. This could be the right boat for you, at the right price.
