Gb32

We surveyed and sea-trialed two GB32’s in 2013 after we sold our Corbin 39 cutter. Known areas of concern (as if you don’t already have enough to make you run for cover): rainwater ingress along side walls, osmotic blistering below the waterline (one GB32 looked like a plowed field!), leaking transmission—some models are no longer repairable and if yours is one of them the later models of transmissions will not fit without raising the engine which you would never want to do. Need I go on? Start looking for another boat now. After seven years of cooling down after those disasters we finally worked up enough enthusiasm to purchase a Nordic Tugs 32 and could not be happier. Good luck.
