- Grand Banks 36' Classic
Just purchased a good condition 1969 GB 36' Classic with twin engines. It is in Anacortes WA and will have it based in Portland OR. My preference is to find someone to help me bring it through at least the Columbia River bar sometime in the next couples weeks before the weather is more challenging. I would love to find an experienced owner a GB or a similar boat to help me with the passage and to gain knowledge along the way. I do not have sufficient experience to do this trip by myself. I realize it is possible to transport the boat via truck, but I don't like the idea of taking the top off and the total cost. I also want to use the experience to learn. Any comments about the journey and possible leads of someone that could help would be appreciated. I'm willing to pay someone a reasonable amount but prefer to not use a high priced professional company. I do value my life, so I do want someone that knows what they are doing. Look forward to any feedback. Thanks, Brian
