COMMENTS: It is rare to find a clean well maintained Grand Banks 36 with twin 210 with approximately 4000 hours on naturally aspirated Cummins 6BT5.9's, inverter, remote dinghy davit, bright work in great condition, teak decks like new, and the windows slide and don't leak. An all-around seaworthy performer, the Grand Banks 36 Motor Yacht is capable of real deep water cruising. Long keel, 27,000 lb displacement, hard chine, and a deep forefoot hull provide stability and seaworthiness. Teak joinery work by old world hand craftsman gives a practical beauty above and below decks. The cabin soles are teak throughout. The main decks and flybridge are teak planked. Extensive locker and drawer space are made out of golden Burmese teak. Whether you are motoring around the bay or you are hundreds of miles at sea, quiet single or twin diesel engines are made quieter by the use of special engine room sound insulation. These smooth, heavy-duty engines provide long range economical operation. As successor to the wooden 36 introduced in the 1960's these boats enjoy the improvements and refinements of over 30 years.
