This 1973 Grand Banks 55 Alaskan is a classic trawler built with a wooden hull and powered by twin John Deere diesel engines producing 210 horsepower. The boat cruises at 8 knots and carries the design hallmarks that made the Alaskan line notable in its era—a pilothouse and Portuguese bridge designed for practical, seaworthy cruising.
The yacht accommodates three cabins and three heads, providing comfortable overnight quarters and facilities for extended voyages. Below deck, the layout supports both cruising and liveaboard use, with the classic pilothouse design offering good visibility and control for the skipper.
Built during the peak of American Marine's production, this boat represents an enduring design for serious cruising. The wooden hull is characteristic of quality construction from that period and continues to perform as a capable offshore trawler.
