1989 42 Classic

lanceolson · Aug 14, 2018

Hi - I am considering purchasing a 1989 42 Classic. It has 375 HP Cats and cruises at 18 Knots. I was wondering how these narrow beam ( before 1991 wide beam ) boats handle in choppy conditions? It has no stabilizers. Thanks

We have a GB the same exact year and engines and ours does fine.

Everyone that rides in ours when we have less than favorable conditions (ocean, sound, river) comments on the way it handles the conditions.

Dear Obx - What speed do go at 2400 RPM & 2800 RPM?

Obx · Aug 18, 2018

About 18-20

18K?? Hydrofoils? Be interested in the fuel burn at that clip.

I have a 42’ 1978 GB Classic. It did not come with an owners manual. Can someone kindly provide some direction?

Afraid they don't have your engines or transmission manuals. Trawler Forum does not seem to allow me to attach files. I guess it is still 2003 here

Here are links to the two closest owners manuals I can find to your hull number:

http://www.grandbanksowners.com/member_manuals/GB-42 1074 CompositManual.pdf
http://www.mv-dreamer.com/Manuals/Grand Banks 42 - 488 with John Deere Manual.pdf

If you cannot see the links, PM me your email address and I will send them to you.
