1972 Grand Banks Sedan

This is a very nice, upgraded example of one of Grand Banks' most popular designs. For those seeking one of the absolute definitive small trawlers, a classic Grand Banks 32, this boat is a must see. She has been repainted recently, and the brightwork refinished as well as the bottom just painted and the hull inspected June 28,  2021. In additional to its physical condition you will find this boat very well equipped with current upgrades. 

I learned years ago that it can be a real value opportunity to find a boat that has had recent work and well equipped for traveling to Catalina  because the seller often spends much more in upgrades and restoration costs than will ever be recouped in the sale.

Salon: The salon aboard the Grand Banks 32 is a full 11'4" x 10' 8" and includes comfortable seating for the whole family plus your guests. There are two full length settees, one built in an "L" shape with an attractive varnished table with a Dometic refrigerator. The joiner work and paneling are varnished golden teak, as is the inlaid parquet sole. The large windows are ideally located to provide beautiful views to the distant blue horizon, whether you are standing or seated. Forward, to starboard is at the all-weather steering station with its full instrumentation and controls, with a handcrafted six spoke wheel and a built-in upholstered helmsman's seat.

Galley: the galley is located in the deck house forward, within conversational distance of the helm. The cabinetry is teak, with exceptional stowage and counter space, and is equipped with a stainless steel cold box, and stainless steel sink with hot and cold pressure water.

Stateroom: You'll enjoy the privacy in the teak trimmed forward stateroom, with its adult sized twin berths and generous hanging locker and stowage space. Adjacent to the stateroom, but serving the entire ship, is the roomy head. It is fully equipped to cater to the needs of your cruising party, including a shower large counter space with stainless steel lavatory and plenty of stowage lockers.

Ford Lehman 2715E 6D380

Lehman pioneered the marinization of engines as far back as 1932. By 1979 the Lehman Econ-O-Power trademark was recognized and respected by boat builders and owners throughout the world. For over 50 years, Lehman had been an organization of dedicated boatmen with a keen appreciation of the proper specification and operation of marine power. The compact design of Lehman Econ-O-Power diesels with special monobloc cast iron exhaust manifolds has shell type tubular heat exchangers and coolers for streamlined appearance and long lasting operation. The Lehman Econ-O-Power engine is built using a Ford engine as the "base" unit. Lehman manufactured and provided the "conversion" equipment... those parts that are needed to adapt the Ford engine to marine use. One of Lehmans' most popular diesels, this 380 cubic inch engine is conservatively rated at 120 horsepower at 2500 rpm. This model engine has a long history of thoroughbred performance, beginning in 1958 as the Ford Dagenham diesel. Also contributing to the popularity of this engine are the same high performance, high economy features which characterize all Lehman Power diesel marine engines. 

The four cycle design, high compression ratio and overhead valves assure clean burning, odor free combustion. The resulting maximization of fuel economy and dependable performance have established this engine as a "pacesetter" among commercial operators, and a favorite of boaters. 
Underlying its rugged performance is its rugged construction...a deep, rigid block. The crankshaft is equipped with large diameter crankpins and main bearings. Four hole injectors are fed by an efficient Simms piston-type fuel injection pump which is driven directly by camshaft gearing. This eliminates the exposed auxiliary drive shaft and couplings that were used in earlier models. Lehman diesel marine engines turn counter-clockwise (viewed from the stern of the boat facing forward). Borg-Warner transmissions offer positive acting, smooth dependable performance under varied loads.

• Fresh-water cooled exhaust manifold with patented mono-block design allows lower overall engine height. Heavy, cast-iron construction for long life and dependability
• 12 volt starting motor
• 55 amp alternator with integral solid state voltage regulator and automatic oil pressure switch (for energizing or disconnecting the system on engine start-up or shut-down).
• Gear driven raw water pump, constructed of bronze with ball bearings for dependability and longer service life. Rubber impeller for maximum water flow.
• Flexible fuel supply line prevents fuel supply line from breaking Spin-on, disposable-cartridge oil filter is easily accessible and easy to replace
• Pressurized cooling system
  Efficient fresh-water cooling through shell and tube-type, copper heat exchanger- with pencil zincs for corrosion resistance. Horizontally mounted to eliminate sediment build-up, with access covers for quick cleaning. No aluminum to rot or disintegrate.
• Efficient oil cooling system
• Flat-type oil sump
• Secondary fuel filter
• Racor water separator 
• Borg Warner Velvet Drive Transmission with a 2.01:1 ratio
