Sought-After Classic Grand Banks 32! | Golden Diesel 

Another great video. You have a real knack for selecting the boats your viewers would really enjoy seeing and learning about. I always learn something new about boats and boating when I watch one of your videos. Example: I now have an appreciation for the quality/durability differences between Marine Trader and Grand Banks. Thanks for everything.

WOW what a great boat. Its got everything you need & nothing you don't. I definitely agree perfect couples loop boat.

Nice boat. Needs a refit. The GB line of Trawlers started as wooden boats (pre-1973 I believe). As everyone knows wooden boats are some of the prettiest boats, but the most in cost and labor to keep up. The GB line of boats has always been a little pricey. A good thing now is that there are more and more new boats being manufactured. This means more and better deals are out there for these older vessels. The GB 36 was their best-selling of the GBs. Yes, those 32s sold strongly too. Especially when they changed over to fiberglass. I live in Seattle, actually Tacoma Washington. The prices of boats are ridiculous. I have noticed that vessels in Florida have been going up in price. You guys are now catching up with us. Nice GB 32 there.

The GBs made before 1974 are wood hulls. Unfortunately, in this market, wood boats of any kind are very hard to sell and I doubt any GB32 with a wood hull will sell for over 40k. This one could use a little cosmetic freshening on the exterior but otherwise looks pretty solid. Thanks for the tour!

Nice boat. Has some character.

The engine is a Ford Lehman 120 hp true colors they were using were red or original and some were painted as a gold color

Boyne City! I am from that area. I could live on this boat, but I won't ask my wife to live on it.

Was going to say Ford Lehman, but anyone can paint an engine gold. So that's what it is. Think the Gold means 135 HP. Red is 110 or 120. Sure someone w more knowledge will correct me if wrong

Your comments, after 02:30; when you point-out 'spider cracking', the vessel's age (1977), and that "she has a lot more life in her". Do you feel that there is any 'realistic' cut-off to purchase a fibreglass boat, in terms of years since construction, IF she has been well-maintained? How often should a new gelcoat be applied? What are the frequency parameters for polishing fibreglass? Given the 'spider cracks', and that there could be (salt) water ingress through these, how would you rectify these and how soon should these be repaired? A discourse on this would be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Question: I see a Michigan Registration Number but a Florida registration tax stamp next to it on the wrong side. Why? If he's in Florida more than 90 days and registers it here wouldn't he need to display a FL registration number?

😎✌️👍

$35K realistically. She's showing her age.

Nice looking boat, but it may be a little top heavy.

You need a mic. It's hard to hear you at times.

Wood boats may be cool, but make sure you can insure it. Older boats are becoming increasingly difficult to insure. Liability insurance is a universal requirement in every port and marina in the world. I personally don't trust any of these older boats with teak decks. Just to many topside screw holes to worry about. Older boats are known to leak like seives when it rains.

35,000/40,000

The pre 1974 GB boats aren’t sought after and aren’t worth very much they all have a wooden hull
