thank you for this thread,i enjoy a good rebuild/build thread.i look forward to the nice workmanship your producing.

theres a 76 litton 36 here forsale for 8k,need complete interior restor and re bed all windows.but the hull is nice,low hours on all original driveline and engine.original owners manual and bluprint sheets included. they are really nice looking boats,not much info out there on littons.

havent posted on this boat in awhile,after i posted this thread the ad went off market and the boat doesnt seem to be available.online info states its still registered to the same owner thou.it looked to be a sweet deal too. ill find the right boat when the time comes.thanx for all the info...

i dont know this person,but came across this on craigslist.looks like a nice boat. https://neworleans.craigslist.org/boa/d/mobile-1979-prairie-coastal-cruiser/6843887332.html

agreeded or the fact that the owner/original poster never answers the questions about the discrepancies. i asked the broker about that aswell.....and no answer from him either. i stated how shady this whole deal looks,and expressed my concern that because of all of this......this boat wont sell...

i was curious.....so i contacted the broker explaining how shady this all looks.55k here noted needs engine rebuild,35k elsewhere no mention of the rebuild or problems....ect. heres the brokers exact reply The engine is currently out of the boat and being rebuilt. The boat has good bones and I...

i too noticed the hin (ETY372961079)starting with 37 and ending date code 1079,but i wasnt sure if there was a hin decoder on the marine traders. i wasnt able to go look at this boat fully,the owner wasnt available so i only looked at outside and didnt step aboard. but it seemed bigger than a...

im probably just confused after looking at over 30 boats in the past few mths,looks just like this 78 36,so many variants. https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1978/marine-trader-36-3256374/ and not like this one...

looks like a match,and owners name is correct as the info i have. as suggested ill go measure it. when i compared to other 1980 MTs on boats.com,the rear deck on this one looks longer along with the rear side windows. but pics can be deceiving havent seen a another 36 to compare it too in...

im about to pull the trigger on a 1980 MT 36,broker swears its a 36 as stated on the regstration,and the hin numbers match. im new to trawlers,but i havent been able to find another MT 36 that looks like this one with the rear port side door,and long rear aft cabin. i have found the 1980 40 to...

I did read this thread which was helpfull about a GBs value expectancy. Ill just keep browsing and keep quiet untill i find something that feels right. http://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/s30/pros-cons-grand-banks-42-a-20254.html

i agree.....gotta have some rot/damage thats not mentioned. average price for that model in good condition goes for $140k all day. heres a fine example of a twin engine 42 https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1978/grand-banks-42-classic-trawler-3250549/ i just wish brokers would be honest,i dont...

could you guys have a look at this grand banks below.....help me understand why is only 40k.other 1977-1980 GB 42s are 100-139k in same visual condition.i just keep thinking this is too good to be true,or theres major problems they arent advertising. when i first inquired the broker stated the...

thanx for the welcome guy/gals as stated im not quite ready to buy.......but wouldnt hurt to have some some more info on the jefferson 37. exactly what year and model. the only jefferson 37s im aware of are the sundeck models,im not to attracted to sundecks and galley down models like the one in...

thanx....will definatly read thru it all.my minds set on the mt 36,ill mostly be doing coastal cruising/live aboard,in the future a trip to the Bahamas. but ill do the loop first before venturing offshore. all thats way to far in the future to really plan. i think the mt 36 will suit me just...
