Hello all, as some may know been trying to sell my home and move onto a trawler. Took the house off the market over winter, and will go back up in March. I’ve been looking at trawlers now for close to two years and I like the GB 36, 42.
Budget will only score me a woodie, which I like and not stressed over a wood hull.
In woody5s most recent post on a GB32, guys are saying 15 k on it, and another said 8k, lol. I haven’t seen any decent 32s anywhere near that number, most all I’ve seen are 25 to 35k, even see one you could see daylight through the berth and they were asking 29k. 74 Glass hull there’s one listed for 52k.
Multiple 36/42s listed at 46 to 49k. Most of those are in the late 1960s at present. Those numbers seem to be the avg for that model woody. All though there are a couple 65k and up. Even seen a Alaskan49 at 49k.
I’m not familiar with hunting a boat and there market value, as I’ve only owned a 29 ft day cruiser on lake mead 30 years ago. If I visited marinas, are there more boats for sale then you see listed online?
So if I was to buy today, based on what I have seen advertised, is 49k to much to pay for a decent GB36 from late 60s. I would think there would be some wiggle room in the asking price. Was thinking winter would be a really good time of the year to pick one up, as come spring prices would rise.
As for maintenance I have electrical/ electronic experience, plumbing, carpenter, heavy equipment operator( bit of diesel experience) restored 69 camaros for a few years, and same with C5 era vettes. Do all my own maintenance on daily drivers.
Any input would be most appreciated
Joe
