Owner Experience Review

Owners of the 47 Eastbay FBfromGRAND BANKS MARINEtend to use it as a sunshine and weekend platform, hosting friends on the flybridge and in the salon, and taking family cruising trips that are easy to manage for an active couple. Many describe it as a coastal cruiser best suited to marina-to-marina hopping rather than long-range passages.

On the water, the boat feels more like an express than a slow trawler. Test rides and owner reports note that it heels nicely into turns without skipping, with responsive, tight handling and a solid feel in chop. Performance is commonly described as peppy, with typical cruise impressions around 22–27 knots and reported top speeds near 30 knots on higher‑power C‑12/C‑9 installations; owners confirm it comfortably exceeds 20 knots.

Aboard, reviewers highlight a salon executed in classic Grand Banks style, with rich teak-and-holly soles and quality joinery. Listings commonly show two staterooms with a walk‑around island berth forward and a practical galley‑up, while the flybridge layout is praised for entertaining and short cruising. Trade-offs come with speed: owners and reviewers point to heavy fuel consumption at higher speeds with big Cats, routine attention to items like exhaust risers, aftercooler cores, and fuel coolers, plus an engine room that is functional but can be tight around hardware such as a starboard bank of battery boxes. Watermakers are typically not standard, and many owners add one for longer periods at anchor. Details vary by engine package and year, but these themes recur across owner and reviewer feedback.

Pros and Cons

Express-style handling with tight turning, a solid feel in chop, and predictable heel in turns.

Peppy performance with typical 22–27 kt cruise impressions and confirmed above-20-knot capability.

Elegant salon joinery and a practical two-stateroom, galley-up layout with a sociable flybridge.

Heavy fuel consumption at higher speeds with big Cat engines.

Engine-room access is workable but can be constrained around items like the starboard battery boxes.

A watermaker is usually not standard, so extended anchoring often requires an add-on.
