For Sale or Trade: Grand Banks Alaskan 49

[blinkerfluid]

My wife and I are going to sell our 1972 Grand Banks Alaskan 49. She's been well cared for, and we love her, but we're wanting to get a sailboat that we can do some longer distance cruising in.

Work done or parts added in Sept-Nov 2016 (accomplished by Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op):
Lifeline 8d batteries (x6),
160 amp balmar alternators (x2) with external regulator.
New blue Seas panel
New wiring through out (removed all the old retired in place stuff too)
LED lighting in engine room
Removed complete coolant system from both engines cleaned/repaired/reinstalled.
all new sound dampening and wood trim throughout engine room.
Hull painted with Brightsides (Blue Glow white)
New seam compound in a significant portion of the topsides.

Repositioned engine thru-hulls for better access.
Fresh bottom paint
Much of the existing waterlines were replaced with PEX tubing.

She also had a significant rebuild in 2010-2012 (by Sunnfjord Yachts), at that time the following was added:
Electric heads,
Twin ford 2715E engines (~1100 hours on them now) With all new fiberglass exhaust.

Onan 9.5 Generator (~300 hours I think now)
all horizontal surfaces have fiberglass on them; no teak decks.
Diamond Seaglaze windows and doors
LED lighting in Saloon and Pilothouse
Raymarine e12 with open array radar
Galleymaid windlass (I added a 105lbs Mantus Anchor last summer).
Custom radar tower and windlass box.

New Aluminum Fuel and Stainless Water tanks
New water system (heater, pump, accumulator tank, etc)
New Upholstery

New Headliner
New Props/Shafts/Couplings/Cutlass Bearings and PYI dripless shaft selas.

In April I installed a Steelhead Marine 600lbs electric-hydraulic davit.

Those are definitely only partial lists.. It's actually really hard to think of everything that's been done off the top of my head haha. Anyway, the pilot house was painted last spring and the bulwarks and cabin sides were painted this month. We're currently working on refinishing the brightwork.

When I added the Davit, I bought a new Highfield 310AL and a 2012 Suzuki 15hp. I wasn't planning on selling this with the boat, but I might reconsider with the right offer.

She is currently kept in a covered slip. We also have a full canvas cover that extends nearly to the waterline.

Asking $190k. Located in Port Orchard, Washington. We may also consider trade for a center cockpit Sailboat in the 45-50' range.

To get a little more traffic for the boat, we're starting to think about listing her with a broker. I'd really rather not waste the 10% on a broker, so if someone out there is kicking around the idea of getting more info on our boat, please start a dialogue with us. I think Monday we're going to start looking for a broker we like.

Congratulations, your vessel is stunning !
Good luck for the sale.

That's a fine looking trawler!

Very nice interior. The upgrades and refit look very nice too.

I would love to go cruising on a boat like that, especially in the Inside Passage or PNW.

Make sure you also share this info on the Trawlerforum too, if you have not already done so.

Thanks! I do have her listed on Trawlerforum as well. I thought it might be nice to find someone looking to move over to a trawler from a sailboat who would be interested in trading, so figured I'd post her here as well.

Good!

Also, I think your photos look very good and much better than average sale listing photos. Very Good job on that.

The boat looks like it would be very comfortable for cruising and liveaboard too.

Really an exceptional job done on your boat sir. I am overly impressed I live in Stuart Florida so I have seen a few boats and by far one of the best Trawlers I have ever seen nice ad too

[a64pilot]

In a few years I want a boat like this, assuming your pictures are representative, I believe you will have no trouble selling her.
Just last week I looked at an old 36' Kady Krogen, that they wanted much more money than your asking

Any available info on a recent HULL SURVEY or build type/material as she is timber?

[blinkerfluid]

Sure thing, we had her surveyed in November of 2015. At that time, the vessel was found to be in overall good condition. The surveyor listed 9 'found' items on the report and all have been addressed. Items included deteriorated rudder supports, non-stainless hoseclamps on dripless shaft seals, single hose clamps on some exhaust connections, an unused throughull that was not permanently capped, Non-GFCI outlets in heads and galley, no reverse polarity light on the panel, and a few soft spots in the plywood sheathing on the bulwarks.

The hull is 1 1/8" mahogany planks over 2"X3" Yakal frames on 12" centers. Frames are sawn for most of the boat, except the first 5 or so are bent. She is fastened with silicon bronze screws, which are in good condition.

Our boat is still available so I made a little video of her exterior. I may make an interior walkthrough video at some point, but I haven't had a chance yet.

I think she is already sold? I had a nice trade in sailboat. Currently we are still doing our circumnavigation and after that we are looking forum a trawler likes yours.
Well, maybe I hear something!
