RE: Searching for Grand Banks 32 look a likes...

The simularity to the GB32 is what first attracted me to the Island Gypsy 32.

Built by Kong and Halverson,* Mister Kong was the manager (foreman) at the Grandbanks yard before he partnered up with Halverson.

He brought lots of the GB quality in design, cabinetry and fittings with him in the transition.

I am very happy with my IG32 and she is a great boat, in her own right.

P.S.* At noon today I head back to the Marina to see how she faired in Irene.

Take care, and happy boat hunting.
