OVERVIEW
36' 1991 Grand Banks 36 Classic“Extensively Updated Systems + Legendary Grand Banks Build = A Serious Cruiser”
This is not your average GB36. MOLLY B is a 1991 Grand Banks 36 Classic (#958) that has benefited from thoughtful, owner-driven upgrades focused on reliability, safety, and long-range cruising confidence.
Powered by twin Sabre Lehman 135hp diesels (Ford Lehman 2725E) with ~4,000 hours, she offers the bulletproof simplicity and fuel efficiency that made the Grand Banks 36 the gold standard for ICW and Great Loop cruising.
What truly sets MOLLY B apart is the significant investment in major systems since 2020—fuel tanks, cooling systems, electronics, hoses, and bottom work—exactly the items savvy buyers care about.
