ENGINE ROOM & MECHANICAL

The original owner wanted a gyro stabilizer and hardtop but did not want the added weight of these and other cruising equipment to affect the performance and versatility of this GB43EU to cruise anywhere from displacing speeds to over 20 knots. With the help of Grand Banks and Cummins engineering teams, the solution was to install the larger 550hp Cummins QSC 8.3L engines. The larger block motors also don't have to work so hard for comparable horsepower resulting in added longevity. Coupled with the Zeus pods, joystick and Skyhook along with a factory installed bow thruster, this package delivers all the power and reliability needed underway with ease of maneuverability for docking, locks and bridges.

COMMENTS

This GB43EU was one of the most thought out and customized Grand Banks at build. With several years of thought studying the 41 Europa the original owner knew exactly what he wanted when the much-improved 43EU was released. Engineering teams from GB, Cummins and Seakeeper all contributed to building this boat with power and stability unmatched in any other 43 Europa. Topped off with a $100,000+ electronics package done stateside by a top-of-the-line installer and a custom built hardtop with attention to detail right down to the polished welds, this is truly a one of a kind yacht!
