1979 Grand Banks 36 Classic

The 1979 Grand Banks 36 Classic is a fiberglass trawler built for extended coastal cruising. Twin Ford Lehman 6.22L diesel engines power the boat, offering the efficiency and range that defines the model. The semi-displacement hull with long keel and deep forefoot is designed for stability and seaworthiness across variable conditions. Dual helm stations—one in the enclosed saloon and one on the flybridge—give helm control from both levels.

Recent maintenance and upgrades include replacement of the prop shaft and propellers, engine mounts realignment, and new engine alignment. The deck has been resurfaced with non-skid surface treatment. A new teak swim platform, larger than the original, replaces the previous one. Electronics have been updated to Simrad, including chartplotter, VHF radio, and autopilot. The boat also features a Starlink satellite communications system and a Vacuflush head.

The interior is laid out with a forward cabin, aft stateroom with ensuite head, saloon, galley, and dinette. The engine room is accessible and straightforward to work in. A functional mast and boom, bow pulpit, and wide side decks support safe deck movement and traditional trawler styling. Fuel capacity is 400 gallons and water capacity ranges from 140 to 205 gallons, supporting extended passages at the boat's efficient cruising speeds.
