45' 2008 Grand Banks 45 Eastbay SX

The 45 Eastbay SX is a full-featured Down East cruiser that complements assertive performance with stylish grace. Standard twin-500-hp will have you quickly nearing 30 knots, cruising atop a proven C.R. Hunt-designed hull that out-performs the imitators. Inside, accommodations are superior to any in her class, with a generous master stateroom that includes a private head with stall shower, and a guest stateroom that is equally spacious. The 45SX also brings some surprising new features to the Eastbay Series, from her seated helm to the optional sunroof, to an aft salon window that disappears at the touch of a button. And everywhere you turn: more light, more views, more ways to enjoy those prized moments when you're at sea on or on the hook.

Grand Banks have an enduring sense of quality and style. Design-wise, there's a lot to like about the 45 Eastbay SX: its single-level cruising and driving stations, the big cockpit, walkaround sidedecks, the wide island double bed, the second cabin with another double, not to mention the big galley and homelike shower. In addition, it's the first-rate engineering and performance that appeals to discerning Grand Banks buyers as much as the fine finish.u00a0With a Raymond Hunt-designed hull, a Grand Banks is always something to savour at sea!

From the cockpit the salon is entered through a Dutch door, the top half of which opens separately. Two stateroom, single head interior has the galley down and a spacious main salon with a U-shaped settee to port surrounding a teak high-low table. Additional features include a disappearing aft bulkhead window, and the forward center windshield opens at the push of a button for ventilation. Four steps down and forward of the helm, the master stateroom is fully forward with island berth and ensuite head. The guest cabin with twin bed is just aft on the starboard side. Dual Stidd chairs at the helm and huge salon windows provide panoramic views of the water.u00a0
