I just bought an 82 Motoryacht, not sure if these issues still exist in 1992. 1. Fuel tanks, look all around and on top, rust is what you are looking for. There are several ways on my boat for water to get down on top of the tanks. 2. Teak decks can get leaky and cause underlying issues 3...

Hurley Mount? Anyone using a Hurley Mount on a Grand Banks 42? Looks promising, not sure if my swim platform is big enough.

1982 GB Motoryacht, currently our dinghy (Avon RHIB) is just strapped to the transom and just sits on the swim platform. I don't like it and am looking for good options for mounting our dinghy on our Motoryacht. Pictures Please!!

They did not BandB, The tank guys were convinced the water in our tanks was put there by accident. They also thought that it was just general inactivity of the tanks that lead to the sludge. The tank guys also commented on the use of additives and said if you use an additive that is a...

Looking to replace all the dock lines on my 42 grand banks. Need about 300 feet of 5/8 " 3-strand twisted nylon. Looking online before I hit the stores and it appears that it not too easy to find. Anyone have any good sources or advice when replacing dock lines? Thanks Kurt

Two More Pictures of stuff that came out of our tanks...

Update with Pictures of Tank Cleaning Well our tanks were cleaned, hopefully you can see the images. The STBD tank had some weird goo in it. Not sure what happened to that tank, but it is clean now. Final picture that is sort of black is the clean tank.

I looked at some "Diablo Extreme Metal Cutting" blade demos on You Tube and they are quite impressive. Home Depot Ad Video

How long did it take you? Seems I could do one side at a time.

Great Post and thanks for the great pics, our boat (42' 1982 Grand Banks) is hold up in Charleston right now, tanks being opened and inspected today. Of course I hope our water intrusion was o-rings and seals, but planning for the worst. I talked to Vince and he quoted me around $22,000 to...

Could you point me to the post from last year? I looked thru a few pages, too many posts....

Thanks Xsbank, I have found a company along the way that says he can do all you talk about, I think it is a good choice.

Thanks so much B&B, I talked to the owner and he really sounds like he knows what he is doing.

Thanks Bruce, I understand. Trying to get the boat home safely to VA. I think polishing would add to my comfort level until I get home.

- Both tanks were filled at the same time. - Port tank has no water in it, stbd had 18 gallons of "old" rusty, dirty water. - Decks are questionable and I haven't checked the fills yet, not so easy on a GB42. Also, the full fills on our motoryacht are under a deck step, so not completely...

I am looking for someone to polish the fuel in our fuel tanks, boat will be in North Myrtle beach next week. Thanks, Kurt

We have a 1982 Grand Banks with two 300 gallon fuel tanks. Today we shifted from Port to Stbd tank before leaving the dock. Ran for about an hour at the dock then got underway. Shortly after (about a mile out) both generator and Main engine shutdown. Investigation revealed water in all...

Leaving Soon for a trip from SC to VA on our new to us grand banks 42. Wondering what every one thinks about best place to get weather and forecasts? Thanks

Thanks for all the input. I received quotes from 4 companies and by far the insurance thru BoatUS was the best deal. All were comparable in coverage. BoatUS policy has $3k per incident towing coverage thru TowBoat US which I thought was very nice.

New to us GB 42 Hull 803, Single Lehman Diesel. Wondering what the recommended or pros/cons of operation off of ONE fuel tank at a time. Based on my research there is a shutoff for both tanks, but only one return to STBD tank from the engine. Seems the STBD tank would fill up if you are...

Picking up our "new to us" Grand Banks 42 in Barefoot Marina, Myrtle Beach, SC May 19th. We are headed NORTH to Norfolk, VA ultimately. According to the chart, it is at ICW mile 354. The first day, my wife and I want to do like 50 miles to the North, so we will end up at mile 300 or so...

Looks like we are going to finally get our boat. 1982 Grand Banks. I am a USAA member and they don't do boat insurance so they farm it out to Markel Insurance. We were quoted $1600 per year for basic Protection and Indemnity and coverage for the appraised value of the boat (about 100k). We...

That is a beautiful boat!

Been looking around the internet, Youtube, etc... Wondering what resources are recommended for studying up on single engine boat handling. 40 foot/40000 lb trawler for example. Thanks
