    GB 36 Generator upgrade

    1994 GB Classic - #1062 Westerbeke 5kw. Nothing ever an issue and the boat does not need any more. Quiet, efficient, awesom.

    I like to entertain, fish, and overnight. Is the GB 32 sedan good for this?

    Our 36 did 8 1/2- 9/12 with no problem at 2150 rpm, of course the bottom was always clean. Lots and lots of people here never or Seldom clean the bottoms of their boats and wonder why they are so slow. Funny. Go for it. GB 32/36 are amazing boats.

    FNG, 32' GB restoration project

    I have used varnish, but I do love the rails exactly as you have them. Oil is probably easier to maintain and looks exquisite.

We raced 73 foot ocean racers and dinghy’s………….never was any question too small. You will never get what you want here. Sorry...

    Is this a failed bottom paint job?

    Well thank you. I do not offer anything as an opinion, I offer it as fact. Good luck. Don’t contact me again.

    Is this a failed bottom paint job?

    Honestly. The only bottom paint, Newport, Jamestown and all the way south…..no one there uses anything but SEA HAWk. NO ONE. None of them ever send a boat south without it, and it is absolutely better and far less expensive than your other options, and no one, including the top sailing ocean...
