Broker's Comments

The Grand Banks 32 is likely the most iconic small trawler and is still in demand. The GB32 model has set the standard for design and function in "trawlering" for half a century. This particular model has had no area unloved by past and present owners. Upgrades, improvements, replacements and fastidious maintenance are all easily seen on this little beauty. She was completely repainted in recent years. Her hull is strong and dry and she is boathouse-kept. Take a look at this one before considering another. The boathouse she stays in is also for sale.
