BEST EVER *Name Reserved Yacht for Sale - 54′ Grand Banks
This 2003 Grand Banks 54 SX Eastbay is an example of the model that set the standard against which all coastal express cruisers are judged. BEST EVER exudes that legendary Grand Banks quality and was the flagship model of the Eastbay series for many years. She is currently available for sale in Seattle by her knowledgeable and original owner.
Her C. Raymond Hunt hull design is a time-honored classic that maintains a level attitude without material bow rise, leading to a smooth and unusually dry ride when conditions get rough. Her 800 hp Caterpillars give added heft so that she is more stable than most similar vessels with a flybridge, and many coupes as well.
All areas of the yacht are supplied with individually controlled heat and air conditioning for optimum comfort always is a good example of a multi-season yacht for the Pacific Northwest.
The wide beam of the EB 54 SX creates ample space for a generous salon and galley with a two-stateroom layout with two large heads providing luxurious, overnight accommodation for 4 adults. The expansive salon and cockpit are bright and airy thanks to the large windows and ensure you will have plenty of room for entertaining the family and friends who may also join you onboard. This classic design style is proven and is beautiful without being ostentatious.
BEST EVER is supported by very good service records. Not surprisingly her engines have been solidly reliable as exemplified by the Owners statement: “I have not had any trouble from those Caterpillars over all these years.”
