1991 Grand Banks 46 Classic — turnkey cruiser or liveaboard, extensively refit and ready to go.
I've put serious money and time into this boat over the past few years. She's a classic, spacious 46-footer with a long list of mechanical and systems upgrades that make her genuinely ready to cruise. The Grand Banks 46 Classic is known for its quality build and seaworthiness, and this one has been brought up to a high standard of reliability.
KEY FEATURES:
- New aluminum fuel tanks — two 315-gallon tanks (630 gal total) replace the originals, eliminating one of the biggest long-term concerns on any classic trawler.
-
- Complete mechanical refresh — new exhaust system including risers, new starters, alternators (50A), all engine hoses, sea cocks, sea strainers, and new head gaskets on the starboard engine. The twin Caterpillar 3208s have 1,898 hours and are in solid shape.
-
- AB aluminum RIB tender with 15 hp Yamaha outboard, launched via a custom dinghy crane and 12v winch — a serious cruising setup that makes anchoring out genuinely convenient.
