This 54' CLASSIC Yacht is SUBLIME [Full Tour] Learning the Lines

[@WorldWideMoose]

Wow did not think I would ever see this fine vessel again. Owner used to run it up the coast from Florida to Anchor Pointe marina on Lake Erie. He was a fixture at the bar, big cigar, and always laughing. The last year he paid a Captain to move the boat. I’m guessing he passed away. Having been on the boat several times - never underway - she is absolutely stunning. By the way, Randy, this is not a trawler it is a deep v express. This hull design wallows around a bit until you get it up on a plane and then you ease the throttles back a bit and it is rock solid. Those big cats purr like thirsty kittens at minimum planing speed and howl like banshees at full throttle!

Grand Banks makes some very stylish, innovative and, more importantly, very very durable.

[@swampgumpharpy7977]

This is one of the most reasonable boat listing prices I've come across. A lot of love has gone into the build and maintenance of this yacht.

[@NotOnYourLife]

I like it, but a few things stand out, traditionally a trawler is heavy, full displacement, slow and fuel efficient, designed for long distance cruising in comfort. This one is built for speed with a top speed of 30 knots! Can it be considered a trawler? I wonder what the fuel burn is for those 2 big Cats with 800 hp each at cruising speed? I bet the 935 gallons of fuel doesn't last very long. Aside from that, this is an incredible boat that has been well maintained and certainly beautiful. Given a choice between this and the two Cheoy Lee motor sailors shown earlier I would pick the Cheoy Lees every time. This was a good find Jordon, I hope we see more of these.

[@ReinoGoo]

A trawler is built for trawling, not for planing.

[@lancepeltier1081]

Yep, that's a downeast cruiser. Not a trawler.

[@vxnova1]

Wonder what the fuel burn is at 6 knots

[@WorldWideMoose]

The listing is a wee bit in error. Those engines put out 465hp each, burn Is 15 gal/hr so 30 gal/he for both. At six knots probably 8 gal/hr total.

[@Edmund_Mallory_Hardgrove]

@@WorldWideMoose I know if your the kind of person that can afford a motor yacht fuel prices probably aren't at the top of your concern. But at around $4.00 a mile, that would make me puke.

[@stephensmalldridge9504]

I'm really glad to see you paid attention to my past comments Do be discouraged by the narrow minded naysayers You're opening up your minds to a 100 + years of classic live abroad cruising traditions too Great tour of a classic style

[@MBdrummer3288]

WOW! That wood is stunning! That is some boat. Thanks!

[@gordongreenwood9491]

One of nicest boats you ever shown us.thank you!!

[@Kermondale]

I like the Almond color deck

[@glencrandall7051]

Nice boat. Certainly well laid out. Bit expensive but so what. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

[@Djdj-kd8ue]

Enjoy your videos!

[@miketee2444]

After seeing GB take on an express or Day Boat I definitely appreciate thier more traditional hulls. Its all in what you want out of your boat but for me the Elutian is hard to beat.

[@M-Swede]

My favorite to date. Imagine cruising around Marathon in that one!

[@danielsundberg1977]

I want that champagne cork footstool in the salon!!

[@richardmarshall2229]

Thanks for the video of a Motor Yacht.

[@ianbedwell4871]

I am guessing if you had folded the table out the area would form a double. Lovely yacht styling, I agree with your comment that it seems sailboat inspired.

[@Useless_Knowledge07]

I look forward to seeing more trawlers. Hopefully the boats specs too!

[@tufankilinc636]

Very reminiscent of Turkish gullets. Really dig this boat!

[@dennisreeves632]

Absolutley beautiful boat!

[@haroldconnell2973]

Amazing craft

[@michiganengineer8621]

Grand Banks has always made gorgeous boats. This would be a good one for a family (with guest) who wanted to do the Loop. The Cat engines are nearly bulletproof although at over 4k hours I'd be thinking about having a thorough overhaul (maybe even a rebuild) done on them before heading out.

[@aleciacarpenter7856]

The Cats are good for 10,000 hrs before a major overhaul.

[@michiganengineer8621]

@@aleciacarpenter7856 True enough, however I'd rather know everything was in (as near as possible) perfect mechanical condition BEFORE starting out on, for example, the Great Loop.

[@terencesmith4137]

That boat is gorgeous 😍! If I ever when the lottery....

[@TimNevins]

Amazing interior finishes!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Very attractive Motor Cruiser very high quality.. those monster motors make it more of a Gentleman s GT in car terms... In the🇬🇧 UK it would find its Equivalent in something like a Fairy Swordsman is my guess. 😎

[@svechappe6075]

Technically if it has a planing hull (30 knots), not sure it qualifies to be described as a trawler. Trawlers are usually displacement or semi-displacement hulls. This is actually what I would describe as a Down East design style. Spend some time touring marinas from Annapolis up into New England and you will see a lot of boats of this style from Sabreline, the Talaria series from Hinckley, Alden, Vicem, as well as a lot of custom built boats from those regions. That being said, Grand Banks made its name on semi-displacement trawlers over the years and they have always been of top notch quality. This more recent history is a departure from what is considered classic Grand Banks. Nevertheless, very nice boat, all it takes is money! I wonder if there was a layout option to have a guest double in lieu of that triple single stateroom.

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Wow, this is a first for me on your channel. Great tour as always thank you.

[@clarktransport1312]

My dream boat.

[@10lauset]

... Cheers...

[@rtbinc2273]

Wow love it!! I'm 6 foot 6 inches tall so that is not enough head room for me. Even a full size GB may not have enough head room. Sailing seems to be something for short people. Just to quibble this is less a Trawler and more a Downeaster style boat. Downeasters seem to be based on smaller day fishing boats like lobster boats while trawler are based on the bigger and long distance fishing trawlers. That also seemed to be the basis for the 1920s Commuter boat that graced Long Island Sound to run back and forth from NYC to Estates on Long Island or Connecticut or Rhode Island

[@brettgoldsmith8584]

My eyes kept slipping to the multi-million dollar yachts on either side of this one if i'm being honest

[@davidheflin5847]

Interesting.

[@cigarmann]

This is not a trawler......it is a semi displacement cruising yacht for day or weekend trips. To me a true trawler is a boat that cruises aat displacement speed and can go for days or weeks at a time

[@FeelItRising]

seeing those giant engines just makes me think of money, maintenance and nightmares, but if I had 700k laying around maybe I don't care

[@bertrambertram9173]

These are beautiful boats. You do pay a premium for the brand name. For me, It was slightly claustrophobic in there was very little direct connection outside the boat. I also, agreed with a point below as to where would four or 6 people sit for dinner. You can call a boat anything you want but it is certainly not a trawler. It is more like an express sedan. But all said and done I would love a boat like this.

[@bayanicustodio3998]

A beauty, I think I can afford the fuel to cruise for a couple of hours and maybe the six pack I would need for afterwards. But a beauty if I ever win the lottery.

[@ianfurqueron5850]

Definitely a pretty boat. I wonder if it could do The Great Loop? Seems like it would be low enough, but I don't know if there's a length restriction.

[@rtbinc2273]

No length restriction, the locks on the Erie canal were built for commercial barges. Height is appx 15 feet for the lowest point on the Erie 19 feet (?) on the Chicago River. Draft of not more than 5ish feet.

[@giles-df9yu]

Yes

[@debbiewack9543]

Was there a washer/dryer in the Breakfast nook lower cabinet?

[@scyz2807]

Hey, at the 5:00 mark did someone yell "Cut! Time to do the knife ad!" or maybe they said "Slice! . . . " : - ) Anyway, even if the mast was knocked off, this is a very pretty boat! That engine ROOM impressed me. That was after being impressed by the rest of the boat too. One problem, that fore deck isn't big enough to land a helicopter on. : - ( I don't recall you guys doing any specific power boat tours before. I do think every sailboat has had a motor of one sort or another. Here's another unlikely thought, could this boat be converted to electric? Probably not enough room for the solar panels needed. Plus those engines are massive. Where would you even find electric motors to replace them? haha PS - I was surprised by the knife ad, but then SV Delos did one for that same knife company! I've never seen them do a product "placement" ad before or since. That would exclude certain items (tools, sails, etc.) that they have actually purchased for long term use.

[@chakwong]

No dining table?

[@jerrysmith3515]

That was diffinatly a nice boat. But mostly for the rich and famous and not the average person. The only thing that I thought should be there is crew quarters. Btw how is that baby girl doing? 🤗

[@ColtonRMagby]

I just have one question: When will you do a tour of a diesel-electric submarine like the USS Batfish or USS Razorback?

[@ckh2815]

Appears to have a dinghy anchor.

[@TheMadSqu]

Can you move the table in the cockpit inside? Or what would you consider the dinig area?

[@mariemasciotra2856]

What do you guys think of the eating areas? Versus the number of people that sleeps (5-6), there seems to be very little table space, no? Kids will have to eat in their room 😅😅

[@CharlesETerry]

Great like you do Where do I find info on this yacht

[@i-fart-n-elevators4610]

$675,000 asking price is out of my budget

[@bobbates6642]

Do a Nordhavn with twin engines then find a very similar boat with a steel or aluminum hull and compare the prices

[@nomehdrider]

I would not consider this a trawler, it would be a downeast-style like Sabre builds now. That side I loved the layout

[@baltimoreravens1515]

She's beautiful

[@clamospro9539]

Still available for sale?

[@cherrypickerguitars]

I love GB’s but this “Euro” style layout is not my fav. I’m a traditional 3 cabin layout in a 54’ trawler. It is a lovely boat, for sure. Peacd

[@jansen232]

How much would this bad boy cost guys?

[@raymondmills9377]

Twin cats? Planning hull?

[@debbiewack9543]

Love sail boats but in my early 70s I’m looking to be on the water without all the work

[@michaeldrago6999]

really more of a picnic boat

[@juniinc40]

That's not a trawler❗ That's a fast down east style boat by GB like Sabre & Back cove.

[@chikken_soup]

Next thing you know, homeboy will start touring superyachts

[@gendaminoru3195]

If a down east lobster boat can be sexy, this is it. contra rotating props and more efficient power would be good though. Remember, Cats don't like water. MANN R6-800's would be lighter, quieter and more efficient - and they invented marine diesels long ago.

[@barelyafloatwithsteve3975]

I'd replace the Bimini with Solar Panels.

[@johnturner2175]

You either like Grand Banks or you don’t I’m not on the like side.

[@rustycomer8502]

Well done Jordan. 👍 I definitely hope you continue to mix in different types of motor yachts with your boat tours. If you do and would like to pick up some ideas on how to better showcase each boat - I would suggest you checkout Nick Burnham’s popular channel “Aquaholic”. He’s UK based but tours boats of all types and sizes from around the world. I really think you’ll like Nick’s style and will get some ideas of things you can incorporate into your vlogs. Cheers!

[@222INFINITY]

Zero interest in sailboats, but as far as power yachts go nothing comes close to a 60 to 80' power cat. Good fuel efficiency, unbeatable saloon, double helm stations, tons of room for guests and toys.

[@mikephillips9311]

Can't find any link to the listing so not too helpful. On powercraft you should include engine & genset hours.

[@jascan1489]

Click on the vid description, all the info and seller info is there.

[@adamstuart1531]

Get a hair cut. Jk, lol beautiful boat!!

[@lppaul161]

Not a Trawler

[@superyachtchef]

I felt seasick 🤢

[@emilybh6255]

Sorry but boats in the $675k range all have palatial dining areas with seating for 8 or 10 people or more that convert to berths for sleeping with the table dropped down. This boat has no dining area! They'll be lucky to get 1/4 of what they are asking.

[@chikken_soup]

It's a Grand Banks yacht they have incredible resale value

[@monsterhog1118]

This boat isn't your average "trawler" it's more like a sport fisher and can go nearly 30 knots. The asking price isn't to far off imo

[@mandmmilling3716]

Not a trawler

[@jeffconway1953]

Nice boat if you aren't bothered by the prospect of an increasingly damaged biosphere. The more dinosaurs per mile/hour it takes to operate a given vessel the less interested I am. Just sayin.
