1974 Grand Banks 36 Classic

1974 GRAND BANKS 36 CLASSIC "Classique"

There is a reason the Grand Banks 36 Classic continues to have such a loyal following. Her traditional trawler lines, warm teak interior and practical cruising layout have made this model a favourite with generations of boaters.

Classique has been with the same owner for 35 years and has been boathouse kept for the past 15 years.

For buyers familiar with these boats, the decks, engines, fuel tanks and headliner are four of the areas that deserve the closest attention. On Classique, those major items have already been addressed.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS:

• Solid decks

• Twin 120 hp Ford Lehman diesels professionally rebuilt, with approximately 245 hours since completion

• Four 50-gallon Tempo plastic fuel tanks replaced the original tanks

• New headliner

• Full flybridge enclosure

MECHANICAL & SYSTEMS:

The engine work is one of the biggest advantages of this boat. The twin 120 hp Ford Lehman diesels were professionally rebuilt by Industrial Engines and have accumulated only approximately 245 hours since completion.

INTERIOR & COMFORT:

Part of the appeal of a Grand Banks 36 is the feel of the interior. The teak joinery, large windows and traditional layout create the warm, comfortable atmosphere these boats are known for.

• New headliner

• Custom teak interior panelling

CORPORATE OWNERSHIP:

The yacht is the sole asset of a B.C. corporation, creating the potential for a share purchase structure and associated tax advantages.

Buyers should obtain independent legal and tax advice regarding the structure and any potential benefits.

OWNERSHIP HISTORY: 

Classique has been owned by the current owner for 35 years and has been kept in a boathouse for the last 15 years.

SUMMARY: 

A Grand Banks 36 Classic is about more than specifications. It is the combination of timeless styling, practical cruising ability and traditional craftsmanship that has kept these boats desirable for decades.

Classique stands out because several of the major areas buyers commonly focus on have already been dealt with: solid decks, professionally rebuilt low-hour engines, replacement fuel tanks and a new headliner. Combined with long-term ownership, boathouse storage and the potential corporate share-purchase option, she offers a particularly interesting opportunity for someone looking for a classic Grand Banks 36.
