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. Improvements include a replacement generator, new refrigerator, updated navigation electronics, and the removal of the original teak decks, reducing maintenance while preserving her classic appearance.
This vessel represents a very nice example of these highly sought-after cruisers, combining traditional Grand Banks charm with practical upgrades for today’s boating lifestyle. Spacious accommodations, warm teak joinery, and proven seaworthiness continue to make the 42 Classic a favorite among cruising enthusiasts.
Located in Sales Tax–Free North Kingstown, Rhode Island, she is ready to cruise with her next owners. Call today to arrange a showing.
