Broker's Comments

This Grand Banks 36 Classic represents a good value for this popular yacht model and offers capabilities for Pacific Northwest cruising in all seasons.

The layout is spacious and ideal for a cruising family or two couples. These boats are well found for liveaboards too. The wide side decks with high bulwarks and bronze life rails protect kids and pets underway or at anchor. Large windows in the salon provide a bright outlook and great ventilation. A large Dickinson diesel cabin heater will warm the interior and an engine driven Red Dot heater provides heat when operating the engine underway.

The single Lehman 120 diesel engine shows low hours of use. These popular engines were used in many different boats and parts are still available today. The engine compartment is spacious as compared to the twin diesel models, and you will save a lot on fuel and maintenance costs when cruising with one reliable engine. A dual Racor fuel filter manifold with pressure gauge is installed for easy filter switching underway in the event of fuel contamination.

The boat has been rewired with a Blue Seas panel and includes a galvanic isolator for the shore power connection to protect the hull from stray current. Navigation electronics are basic and could be easily upgraded.

A 2024 survey noted the boat to be in Good condition, "generally well found" and with a fair market value above the asking price. The surveyor thoroughly examined the boat's wooden structure and found it sound with few exceptions noted. Fasteners were pulled for inspection and all were found in good condition. The survey noted that one of the fuel tank has a some weeping at a bottom seam. Currently it appears very slight and a bilge pad is enough to absorb that amount.k. There are several Seattle fuel tank repair companies that can asses the situation and many times it can be epoxy treated.

This is an affordable and comfortable Grand Banks pedigree cruising trawler that will make a fine vessel for a new owner to enjoy and improve while living aboard and exploring Pacific Northwest waters.
