2004 Eastbay 43' (13.11 m) Eastbay 43SX

Southport, Maine, United States

Zest

ZEST is one of the iconic Eastbay 43’s built by Grand Banks Yachts. The SX model indicates a FULLY ENCLOSED PILOTHOUSE. The current owners purchased her in 2011 with only 180 hours on the twin Cummins 480CE engines. Heated indoor storage, meticulous care and upgrades make her a must see.
