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.


BTW ...

If it turns out you opt for a GB and would like a good, local surveyor, let
me know. The guy that did Mrs.E's GB currently owns an '80's vintage GB
and has owned three others in the past. He knew the GB inside out and knew
exactly what to look for. He surprised us because he pretty much knew the
background and history of the hull number of "Pangea".

10-4. I'm inclined towards the GB anyway just because.



I think Wayne, me, and most importantly, Mrs. Wave *knew* you'd come around
eventually.
The GB is .... a Boat!

You can always get a small E-Tec for the dingy.
