Broker's Comments

Very few boats boast the pedigree of a 46 Grand Banks. This is a very well kept, proper cruising yacht, with all of the features needed for extended cruising and comfort at anchor. She has a great ownership history, with no damage history. For the past twelve years she has been kept in covered slip and has had professional maintenance.

If you are in the market for a proven classic trawler with true offshore capability at a reasonable price, then make sure you put this one at the top of your list. Owners retiring from boating, so all of the goodies are conveyed.
