NANTUCKET - 1989 GRAND BANKS 42 CLASSIC

Reduced to $179,500 for quick sale.

NANTUCKET is a beautifully maintained 1989 Grand Banks 42 Classic, powered by twin Cummins 6B5.9 naturally aspirated diesel engines, rated at 120 HP each, showing approximately 2,295 indicated hours.

The engines are believed to be original to the vessel. A previous survey notes that they were installed in 1988 and describes them as "suspected original machinery."

With only three owners since new, NANTUCKET has benefited from attentive ownership and continued maintenance. Her current owner has cared for her since 2021 and has completed numerous important upgrades and maintenance items, including a recent bottom job, new thru-hulls, new cutlass bearings, replacement sanitation hoses, rebuilt VacuFlush systems, and extensive exterior varnish work.
