Does anyone know the make and model of the boats that were lost? Regards, Scott

Ditto what Howard said, current 32, previous 42 and 2 46's; pump in the depression under the teak shower grate. As needed we take the teak grates out, scrub and bleach on the dock, and clean the sump. Some of the above had teak framed screens above the pump to keep hair from clogging the pump...

Respectfully, varnished steps are beautiful but extremely dangerous when wet. Teak was used because of its natural non-skid properties. Clean per Dennis' instructions in post #2, leave natural or use Semco teak sealer. Safety first! Good luck. Regards, Scott

In photo #1 I see a ? flagstaff or jackstaff. I am looking for the rear flagstaff, teak with a brass or SS ferrule on the bottom. +/- 36" to 42" long? (WAG.) Thanks in advance! Regards, Scott

No knowledge of the particular boat in question. Yachtworld listing here: https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1984-grand-banks-36-classic-8464132/ Looks like a great boat at that price. The decks look a bit wonky, but if they are not leaking to the interior, not sure that I would take the teak off...

<<We put a Seawise on a previous boat.>> +1 on this. Checks all of the boxes. Love ours!! Good luck. Regards, Scott https://seawisemarine.com/

Sequana: This past year I stripped the (recent and failing) varnish from the caprail and handrail of our 32 GB and applied Semco teak sealer. Not shiny in the slightest but easy to apply, won't peel, and prevents graying and weather damage. Does it look yachty and beautiful? No. Will I have to...

My plan: 1. Determine what the cost would be. 2. Determine how much time it would take. (Note: both likely to be double or triple your estimate.) 3. Spend the money on fuel. 4. Spend the time boating! That is a beautiful boat and you're overthinking it. Anchor in Bantry Bay or Athol Bay with...

<<I believe they could be ordered from Singapore with many different configurations>> Absolutely! We have friends with a 32, slightly older than ours, which was ordered with a fiberglass transom (no teak,) a transom door, and the handrails terminate at the forward end of the cockpit as opposed...

We have a Lehman 135, a slightly newer version of the 120 that you have. When I change the oil and filter I add 14 quarts (as instructed by Brian at American Diesel.) This puts the level right at the "full" mark on the dipstick. Over the first ? 10 or 12 hours it works its way down to the "add"...

We had a 42 Grand Banks, we were on our first cruise, autopilot steering a course, when my wife turned on the microwave. The boat made an immediate 90 degree turn to port. Never made that mistake again! It was funny after the fact, fortunately... Be safe out there! Regards, Scott

<<Wait, are you saying it is the same hull (hence length and width) as the GB 36 Classic?>> No, Caballero II, you are correct, the 32 GB hull is 4' shorter than the 36 GB, and the beam is less as well. Regards, Scott

Try Ward's Marine Electric: https://wardsmarine.com/ or search for Heinemann circuit breakers whic are in (I think) all of the GB's that we have owned. Good luck! Regards, Scott

<<I found that an “Ilco 62LG” blank works for key duplicates>> +1 for Ray's advice. 1992 GB, Legge locks, found Ilco 62LG blanks and had copies made at a locksmith in Bellingham, WA. Good luck! Regards, Scott

+1 on what Peter said. That is an old-fashioned packing gland and not a dripless shaft seal. Yes it does appear to have a water supply to either provide cooling water to the cutless bearings or provide oxygenated water to the stern tube to prevent crevice corrosion, or both. Simply tightening...

We're on our 4th GB, a 32 after a 42 and two 46's (all in the PNW.) We think that GB's were better built than the majority of Taiwanese trawlers of the same era, but maintenance since probably matters more now. Our boats were always in the 20-30 year age range when we owned them but we never...

According to this video tour it's a N68.

<<Nearly all GB 36 have teak decks.>> I have never had a GB 36, but, we have a GB 32 currently, and have had a GB 42 and 2 different GB 46's in the past, all fiberglass boats with teak decks, and have never experienced a leaky deck. All in the PNW where we get a lot of rain. About 13 or 14 years...

I think that competition is a great thing, and, I believe that Amazon/Bezos is likely to be more stable and better managed. Just my opinion! Regards, Scott

Here's a sample: https://www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1982-grand-banks-36-classic-8904890/ No affiliation, just looked it up on Yachtworld. We have had many boats over many years, never regret the good times we have had aboard as a family. You only live once. Good luck! Regards, Scott
