- 1990 Grand Banks 32 #834
Hi all,
I'm also posting this question on the Grand Banks Owner's Forum, but frankly, MANY more people follow the TF....
So, I have a 1990 GB 32 with a metal mast which I will soon need to lower so the boat can be put on a truck. I have never done this before.
1. Will I need a mast crutch attached to the transom, or can the hinge support the weight of the mast?
2. Will I need a gin pole to raise it? Might the boom work for this?
3. Any other "gotchas" or things I should be thinking about?
Thanks for your advice!
