26.00' Grampian 26 cb

1975 GRAMPIAN 26 (cb)
For Sale
4000 CAD

Alex McGruer design.

Seriously safe, ridiculously roomy, and really comfy. Very manageable.

Selling due to injuries/disability I physically cant handle a boat any more (injuries completely unrelated to boat). Very few owners before me.

Includes expertly restored 1997 9.9 Mercury; controls mounted mid-cockpit; boat tiller steering.

You couldnt break this boat if you tried.

The worlds biggest 26-footer.
