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 do the math: approx 550 mi range. When a thousand is the minimum.

I'm ONLY posting that Power Boating Magazine called it a Trawler...go
argue with them.

It would be more accurate to call it a "trawler style" boat, meaning
that it looks something like a trawler. Magazines tend to regurgitate
the marketing hype distributed by the boat builders because that's
where the advertising revenues are.

I get 620 miles but that's slow as hell - over 63 hours.
