Broker's Comments

For those looking to own a one of the absolute definitive small trawlers, a classic Grand Banks 32, this boat is a must see. This woodie has had everything done that you would would expect to ensure that it is structurally and mechanically sound. She has been recently wooded out, the guards removed, planks replaced, re-fastened as needed, flybridge rebuilt, repainted and bright work varnished. In additional to its physical condition you will find this boat very well equipped with current upgrades. Be sure to view the video to confirm my written word. She has a full boat cover of very light material that lets it breath and helps to create a good environment for proper ventilation while protecting her from harsh conditions.

I learned years ago that it can be a real value opportunity to find a boat that has had recent yard work and new equipment installed because the seller spends much more in upgrades and restoration costs than will ever be recouped in the sale.

A price reduction can be made regarding the dinghy and the full boat cover should the next owner not be interested in these items.
