No Rules Yacht for Sale | 43 Grand Banks Yachts Annapolis, MD

No Rules Boat | 43' Grand Banks 2003

This 2003 Grand Banks Eastbay 43 HX combines the pedigree of one of the most respected Downeast builders with a very current systems package. Finished in classic Flag Blue with a teak cockpit and fresh non-skid (2024) on the decks and house, she looks exactly like what an Eastbay should: purposeful, elegant, and timeless.

Built by Grand Banks Yachts on the renowned C. Raymond Hunt modified deep-V hull, the 43 HX is celebrated for her soft, dry ride and surefooted tracking. The hull carries enough deadrise to slice through a head sea, yet maintains excellent efficiency and manners at displacement and planing speeds. With twin Caterpillar 3126B turbo diesels (approx. 2,000 hours) and this hull, owners typically see an easy cruise in the mid-20-knot range with a top end in the high 20s, depending on load and conditions. Fuel burn and RPM are tracked via FloScan tachs and digital engine interface, making it simple to run the boat efficiently.

What sets this particular boat apart is how thoroughly she has been brought up to modern standards. A full Garmin electronics suite with radar, autopilot, AIS, and NMEA 2000 backbone; Maretron monitoring for tanks and engine data; an advanced Victron battery management system with solar; Starlink with security cameras for remote monitoring; and new AGM batteries in 2025 put her squarely in the “smart cruiser” category rather than just a pretty classic.

Below, you get the warm joinery and intelligent layout that made the Eastbay line so popular: a queen master, separate bunk cabin, large head with VacuFlush and stall shower, and a proper galley with ceramic stove/oven and Grunert refrigeration. Three Dometic air-conditioning units serve the master, salon, and pilothouse, while LED lighting and efficient DC fans keep things comfortable both at anchor and underway.

On deck, all exterior teak was completely stripped and built back up with 12 coats of varnish in 2024, protected by a full suite of Sunbrella covers. Below the waterline, she received bottom paint and PropSpeed on the running gear in 2025. For a buyer looking for the ride, reputation, and craftsmanship of Grand Banks—paired with modern systems and serious monitoring—this Eastbay 43 HX stands out.
