1968 Grand Banks 32

An icon in the world of boating, the Grand Banks 32 has a distinctive profile that is easy to spot and never goes out of style. This is a beautiful example of a Grand Banks 32 that is very clean and well-maintained. It has been kept in a boathouse through the last three owners and continuously maintained to a high standard.

This is a perfect cruising boat for a couple. It has a good-sized command bridge with bimini, a single cabin forward with a hanging locker, storage, and a head with a freshwater electric toilet. The sedan style provides a single continuous space from the lower helm station through the rear of the salon. This compact design provides all the cruising comforts with a propane stove and oven, refrigerator, forced air diesel heat, and hot and cold pressure water.

With an economical Lehaman engine, you have the ability to cruise to Alaska or anywhere in BC in style and comfort.
