I spied a late sixties '68 GB42 (don't know the exact year) this
morning when I was down south. Chatting with the yard owner, it
apparently has been retrofitted with relatively new Yanmar diesels -
180 hp each. He didn't know the hours, but it's probably somewhere
around 500 hours on both engines. I'm going down tomorrow morning with
the broker to look at it.

I know this sounds like heresy for a small boat, outboard guy, but I
really liked the look of the boat - for some reason, it looks
"different" than the usual GB - the boat just appealed to me.

Anyway...

Is there anything I should look for when prowling the boat tomorrow?
Anything peculiar to GBs? What should I expect for fuel mileage in
terms of gph?

Any advice would be appreciated.


I think a '68 will be a wood hull. They changed to glass in '73 or
thereabouts. Might be wrong ...
Do you want wood?
