The new Grand Banks 41 with Skyhook, looks awesome. Beautiful Salon,
apparently lots of room from the photos , and fast, too.
23 knots for a 41 foot Trawler is fast. Great range, as well.
Another beauty that would be nice to own.
To be called a trawler a boat needs to have a decent fuel range, close
to 1,000 nautical miles give or take. It is highly unlikely that a
23 knot boat will be anything close to that. Grand Banks seems to
have forgotten their roots.
I forgot to mention ( and you obviously havent read the write-up, my
bad ) but at 8.8 knots, using 7.9 gal per hour.... with a load of 500
gallons....thats a lot of NM. More than your cutoff line, I'll guess.
Twin Diesels. Zeus Pods.
Go read the write-up.
I get 620 miles but that's slow as hell - over 63 hours.- Hide quoted text -

Hence the term " Cruising "...doh!
more like "coasting"
Or...drifting.
