“"CHATTERBOX"”
1974 Grand Banks Sedan
Specifications
Description
The Grand Banks 32 is a highly sought after trawler, easily handled by a couple or single handed, and "CHATTERBOX" is a good example of that boat. She is one of the first 32's with a fiberglass hull, and the side decks and fordeck have had the teak removed and glassed over. The current owners have done numerous upgrades and replacements to "CHATTERBOX" over the course of ownership, including fuel tanks, generator rebuild, some electronics, electric anchor windlass and more. A classic trawler for a great price! New to the market and actively for sale.
Accommodations
With a great interior for only a 32 foot boat, the Grand Banks 32 interior features a spacious V-berth configuration forward, generous drawer and hanging locker storage, anchor locker access as well. The head and shower compartment is also forward. Up a short set of steps is the galley to port, followed by a straight bench settee. Opposite to starboard is the inside helm station, followed by a bank of drawers and then an L-shaped settee and dinette arangement, which converts to a double berth. The door to the aft deck is offset to port. The rich handcrafted Burmese teak interior with parquet sole throughout, coupled with large windows make for a very warm and inviting interior that affords great ventilation and daylight.
