Brokers Comments

Three Cheers is the least expensive fiberglass hull Grand Banks trawler available with most refurbishing already completed. This is your opportunity to own an affordable classic!

The current owner has spent over $18K concentrating on the maintenance and repair of the engines, running gear, hull and all ships operating systems. His desire was for operational reliability of the vessel without systems failure. All work was performed by professional tradesmen.

The last remaining item for new owners is some above the water line exterior paint work. This work can be accomplished by a new owner without a great deal of trade skills being required.
