Description
The FOREVER is a 1980 Grand Banks 42 Classic Trawler. She's powered by two FORD LEHMAN Model 2715 120 HP diesels that were rebuilt a few years ago. The FOREVER also has the optional "single large berth" for the Master Stateroom aft & with an Entertainment Center in the Salon, port side. With over 300 Grand Banks 42 Classics produced since the 1970's, it is clear that the GB 42 is .. and has been .. one of the most popular power cruising yachts ever designed & produced.
All of the FOREVER's original side & bridge deck teak has been removed and the area refinished with an attractive Light Tan AWLGRIP painted finish for the nonskid surface areas. Her FORD LEHMAN engines were both completely overhauled and now have only some 800 hours logged since the work was accomplished. The yacht presents herself very well being neat & clean and with continuing updates regarding her inventory and maintenance.
For clients looking for a "step aboard & go" yacht of this type, well, here she is! The Owners have decided to sell the FOREVER after enjoying the past several years since their purchase cruising the East Coast from FL to MA. Given her details and excellent price point, both interest and viewings are certainly to be encouraged.
The FOREVER is located at her Winter Storage facility in Stamford, CT.

These yachts combined the charm of traditional styling with the power and speed modern owners demanded.
Today, Grand Banks’ modern lineup—including the Grand Banks 60, 54, and 85—seamlessly blends classic craftsmanship with cutting-edge innovation.
