Grand Banks 36 Classic

 "Moonshine" is an exceptionally clean and well-maintained Grand Banks 36' Classic, and is a "must see" for anyone in the market.  Currently the best priced GB 36' on the market!  Powered by a pair of Sabre/Lehman 135hp diesels, she is extremely efficient underway- burning @4 gallons per hour at 8 knots.  Her equipment list is extensive: Onan 8.5kw generator, XANTREX INVERTER (new 2007), offshore life raft, EPIRB, blue bimini top with four-sided enclosure (new 2007), canvas covers for brightwork (transom, cap rails, hand rails), air conditioning/reverse cycle heat, full electronics package, 10' dingy with 6hp Mercury 4-stroke outboard (new 2007), extensive spare parts inventory, full maintenance logs, life sling, new cutlass bearings, ice maker, Lofran's heavy-duty windlass (recently overhauled), collapsable mast, and much more.  Her brightwork is in excellent condition, as is everything else!   She is one of the more rare models that features the center-line queen berth arrangement in the master.  This boat is turn-key and is ready to cruise.  The owners' plans have changed, and offers are strongly encouraged.  Listing agent has spent a considerable amount of time on the boat, and can answer any questions that a prospective buyer might have.  Please let us know how we may help you!!

There are three main reasons why anyone in the market for a serious offshore cruising yacht in this size range owes it to themselves to fully investigate "Moonshine".  1) She is a "true" Grand Banks- she was designed and built when the company slogan was "Dependable Diesel Trawlers".  Not that the current models aren't "true" Grand Banks Yachts, but they have greatly departed in hull design from that which has made their brand name immediately recognized among serious offshore and coastal trawling cruisers.  Every aspect of the design and build process of the GB36 was centered on the desire to create the perfect cruising yacht- with regard to safety, quality of construction, and seaworthiness- and Grand Banks nailed it.  2)While all of the GB36's of this vintage currently on the market share the traits listed above, not all of them have received the level of care that "Moonshine" has enjoyed over the years.  This care is immediately obvious to anyone who can appreciate the level of devotion required to keep a yacht in "near-bristol" condition.  This level of attention has not only been given to her cosmetic features- but to her mechanical systems as well.  The owner has vowed (and has proven) that this level of maintenance and up-keep will continue until sold. 3)Price- "Moonshine" is owned by an individual who has realistic expectations of current values in today's market.  We have studied the market extensively,and have decided to ask a price that fits today's reality.  "Moonshine" represents what is likely the best current opportunity to own a true classic in superb condition at an excellent price.  January 2013- Price reduced!! 

 Owner has kept a comprehensive maintenance log, which will be passed along to next owner.  Engines and generator have had full maintenance service, and are ready for the new cruising season.  "Moonshine" is tied up behind the owner's home in Callao, VA and is available for inspection at any time.  Very, very well done...  Please contact listing agent with any questions or to arrange a viewing.
