The EASY RIDER is a 1993 model GRAND BANKS 42 Classic trawler. Produced by AMERICAN MARINE LTD of Singapore, the EASY RIDER is Hull 1280. She has the modified GB 42 hull for an enhanced volume that was introduced in 1991 and the Factory Option CATEPI LLAR 3208TA engines that are rated at 375 HP. With these engines, she'll cruise in the 14-15 knot range and has a top end at W.O.T. at some 17-18 knots.

The EASY RIDER has the preferred "Island Berth Aft" and the "Salon Helm Seat" GRAND BANKS optional interior layout features that were available for the GB 42 Classic in this model year. Lightly used over the past (30) years, she has only some 1670 engine hours logged to date! Her overall condition, to include her teak decks, is judged to be above-average for a yacht of her vintage. There are no leaks in evidence below and that's a huge "plus" for yachts of this level of quality interior joinery.

The EASY RIDER has just been launched and is in full commission and ready for the 2023 Season. Her Spring work included, but was not limited to, fresh bottom paint & zincs, exterior cleaning & waxing, teak deck cleaning, interior detailing and exterior varnish work. The exterior "June 2023" photos show her just prior to her launching.

The EASY RIDER is offered for brokerage sale this Spring as the Owner's plans for her use have changed for 2023. Clearly well-maintained, she's nicely-priced for a quick sale. Appointments to schedule a viewing for the EASY RIDER are certainly encouraged for clients who are in the market for a better example of this classic cruising yacht.
