Description
1976 Grand Banks 42 Classic – Timeless Trawler with John Deere Diesels
The Grand Banks 42 Classic is one of the most respected and recognizable trawlers ever built, renowned for its timeless styling, exceptional craftsmanship, and comfortable cruising capabilities. This 1976 example is powered by dependable and efficient John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engines, offering reliable performance for extended coastal cruising or leisurely weekends aboard.
Over the years, she has been thoughtfully maintained and updated to enhance both reliability and comfort.
