1978 36′ Grand Banks Classic

(sold)

This boat has been a live aboard for several years.  The owners started on the loop and decided to stay at Florence Harbor and have been there for a few years now.  They have decided that they want a bigger boat to live on.  A 2000 watt inverter is included with an external Honda 2000i generator.  This provides necessary power for all but the A/C.  The cooking and refrigeration is powered by liquid propane and 12v.  This boat is perfect for the loop.  The mast has 22.4 clearance and is easy enough to lower for the Illinois Waterway Bridge at 300.5.  She has been very well maintained and updated.  These popular models go fast in this market.
