We met Mel and Eileen yesterday. I tried to help him with a computer/GPS problem he was having, but he figured it out before I did. They have a wonderful 1983 Grand Banks 42 Motor Yacht, Mei Lee. The Motor Yacht version of the 42 uses the same hull as us, but pushes the aft stateroom out to the sides of the hull. While it eliminates the ability to walk completely around the deck, it gives the interior the feeling of a much larger boat. We kept asking them … are you sure this only 42 feet long? They purchased the boat new in 1983. They were very nice and gave us a tour of their boat. Here they are leaving the marina on their way back to Olympia.
