"Promises" is an impeccable example of one of the most highly regarded cruising yachts ever made. She is hull #1461 of a grand total of 1,560 Grand Banks' 42s made since production first began in 1965. Kept predominantly on the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay her current owners purchased "Promises" from us back in 2007. They have maintained the boat with an open checkbook, have full records and she is ready for her next owner to get right on board and enjoy!
Powered by the twin 375hp CAT 3208's, "Promises" benefits from the most preferred engine package for those seeking reliability, economy, and the flexibility to actual pick up and run if weather or scheduling dictate the need. At 34,900lbs she cruises quite efficiently and comfortably between 8 and 12 knots and at wide open throttle she will see speeds reaching 18 knots.
"Promises" has seen continuous annual updates and additions to her inventory throughout her lifetime and she is well equipped with a full list of cruising, comfort, and safety features. She if outfitted for the serious cruiser with watermaker, large battery banks, massive anchor and chain ground tackle, and a fiberglass bottomed tender. She is perfect for cruising from the Exumas to Maine and is ready to go now!
Within 20 minutes of BWI Airport and convenient to Baltimore, Washington, and Annapolis, "Promises" is not to be missed by any serious GB buyer and is a pleasure to show!
"Promises" benefits from an owner who firmly believes in fixing things prior to failure and is willing to spend the money to keep the mechanicals in top shape. The boat sees at least one or more trip to Haven Harbour (a GB authorized service center) annually and the owner is always ahead of the curve with a punch list of items that he sees professionally completed year after year. Haven Harbour has completed costly maintenance items such as the replacement of the dripless shaft seals, renewal of cutlass bearings and having the propellers being tuned. They have also completed items such as replacement of all five AGM 8-D batteries, remanufacturing and upgrading alternators, servicing/replacing of pumps, rebuilding of the watermaker, adding an anchor washdown and much, much more! The Caterpillars and Generator are also serviced and maintained professionally and receive proactive care just like the rest of the boat. These are just a few of the examples of outstanding care and good preventitive maintenance that "Promises" receives!
