"Opportunity" is a fine example of the wide body 36 Grand Banks Classic. Equipped with the very reliable single 135hp Ford Lehman, she will cruise at 7.5 knots at 2.25nm per gallon. The interior of the Grand Banks is timeless. It has been modified through the years, but still remains virtually the same as it was in the 1960’s when it was first introduced, with satin-varnished teak throughout and teak parquet sole. There is more than ample stowage in hanging lockers, drawers & other tucked away spaces throughout the boat. The main modification in 1988 was the 6” added to the length and 4" added to the beam, and the door leading to the port side deck. Overall, "Opportunity" is an excellent example of the wide body 36 Classic. She is in excellent shape with full maintenance records and ready for a new owner to enjoy for many years.
