We keep toying with the idea of a Grand Banks 42 or 48 - keeping it at a marina somewhere in the area of Sarasota. We have a Son and his wife that lives in Sarasota, and her folks live on the water by the Cortez Bridge and Anna Maria Island. When we were down there last December, we looked at several used Grand Banks 42's. I'm just not quiet ready to make the next step to buy one.

However, if we do - plan is to cruise the Great Loop.

Lots of Grand Banks Trawlers for sale on Yachtworld. Search for those in the $100-$150 range, then $150-$200 range. Many of these are in remarkable condition

While I was writing this post - I was on the Grand Banks site, and noted that they have a job opening. I will make a separate post with the Link to the info about the Job.
